Tape Testing

Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available across our Troy service area, with 24/7 emergency response for active leaks, recent water damage, or urgent real estate timelines. Standard scheduling runs 1 to 3 business days depending on availability.

Our certified mold inspectors assess bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, attics, crawl spaces, HVAC components, and any area showing signs of past or current water issues. Thermal imaging and moisture meters identify hidden moisture behind walls and under floors.

Oakland County's clay-heavy soils are a significant and often underappreciated contributor to basement mold in Troy. Clay soil retains water rather than allowing it to drain freely, which means the soil around a home's foundation remains saturated for days or weeks after a rain event, maintaining hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls throughout that period. Over time, this pressure forces moisture through even well-constructed foundation systems via hairline cracks, cold joints, and floor-wall seams. In homes where interior drainage systems or sump pumps are aging or absent, this moisture accumulates in the basement slab or lower wall cavities — and once it does, mold follows quickly in the enclosed space.

Pricing varies based on the size of the property, the scope of testing required, and whether any lab work is included. Most residential mold inspections in Troy fall within the standard industry range of $300 to $600, with a clear quote provided before any work begins.
