Thermal Imaging

Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available across our Tacoma 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.

Yes, in most cases. Tacoma's historic homes — particularly those built before 1950 in the North End, Stadium District, and Hilltop neighborhoods — carry elevated mold risk for several interconnected reasons. Original wood framing has been absorbing and releasing moisture for decades, and areas where small leaks or condensation were never properly addressed have often developed long-term mold colonies behind plaster walls and under hardwood floors. Single-pane windows generate significant condensation during Tacoma's wet winters, feeding moisture into adjacent wall assemblies. And many of these homes retain original or modified crawl spaces where vapor management was never a design priority. That said, newer construction is not immune — tightly sealed modern homes in Tacoma's south end can trap interior moisture if ventilation is inadequate, and HVAC condensation issues are common in newer builds throughout the region.

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 Tacoma fall within the standard industry range of $300 to $600, with a clear quote provided before any work begins.
