Q
What does a mold inspection cost in Los Angeles?
The $199 initial residential inspection includes a visual inspection, thermal imaging, and a verbal explanation of the findings. It does not include laboratory samples. Written recommendations or a written inspection report are available on request at no additional charge and are emailed within 24 hours after the inspection. The $349 standard residential package includes everything in the $199 inspection plus two laboratory samples, laboratory results, an explanation of the findings, and recommendations. The two samples may be any mix of air samples, surface swabs, or tape lifts selected by the inspector for the property. If sampling becomes necessary during a $199 visit, the standard residential service moves to the $349 package; it is not billed as $199 plus two sample fees. Additional samples beyond the two included samples are $99 each. Large homes, multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, and specialty scopes require custom pricing. Call for a quote.
Q
How long does a mold inspection take?
Inspection duration depends on property size, accessibility, and scope. Written inspection reports or recommendations requested by the client are emailed within 24 hours after the inspection at no additional charge. This inspection-report timing is separate from laboratory-result timing. Rush laboratory processing is not offered. Laboratory results are normally available approximately 24 hours after samples are delivered to the laboratory. The laboratory is closed on Sundays, so samples collected or delivered around the weekend may be delayed until it reopens.
Q
Does Mold X Inspectors perform remediation?
No. Mold X Inspectors is independent — we never perform mold remediation. This independence is the foundation of our credibility because our findings are not influenced by any financial interest in remediation work that follows the inspection.
Q
What are the signs of hidden moisture or mold in a Los Angeles home?
A persistent musty odor, new staining, peeling paint, swollen finishes, warped flooring, or a known leak are practical reasons to investigate. These signs do not identify a cause by themselves; moisture measurements and a visual assessment help decide what to do next.
