Checklist Inspections

Checklist Inspections has built a solid reputation in Gilbert providing home inspection and environmental testing services to buyers, sellers, landlords, and homeowners. Their 4.5 rating reflects consistent, professional service and a team that takes the job seriously without being alarmist. They understand that most people scheduling an inspection are making a significant financial decision, and they treat the work accordingly. Based in one of the fastest-growing cities in Arizona, they know East Valley construction inside and out. Gilbert has seen enormous residential development over the past 20 years, and not all of it was built to the same standard. The Checklist Inspections team knows the construction types, the common failure points, and the local conditions that create moisture and mold risk in this part of the metro.

Checklist Inspections offers comprehensive home inspection services alongside dedicated mold and environmental testing. For buyers, their standard inspection covers structural components, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and interior finishes with a written report and photographs. Mold testing can be added to any home inspection or booked as a standalone service. Mold inspections include a visual assessment of the full property, moisture readings using calibrated meters, and air sampling from multiple zones. Surface samples can be added when visible growth is present. All samples go to an accredited lab with results typically returned in 24 to 48 hours. They also offer post-remediation clearance testing for property owners and remediation contractors who need documented confirmation that a mold problem has been resolved. Landlords use their services for move-in and move-out documentation as well as routine property assessments. Reports are clearly written and include lab data, site photographs, moisture readings, and actionable recommendations. They can also provide repair verification inspections when sellers complete work before closing.

Every inspection starts with a structured walkthrough using a consistent protocol so nothing gets missed. The inspector documents conditions room by room, flagging areas that show moisture staining, efflorescence, warping, or other signs of water intrusion. Moisture meter readings are taken at suspect areas throughout the property. For mold testing, air samples are collected from interior living spaces and compared against an outdoor control sample. This comparison is important because it shows whether indoor spore levels are elevated relative to natural outdoor conditions, which is the key indicator of an active indoor mold problem. Once samples are in, the lab report comes back within 24 to 48 hours. The final written report integrates lab findings with the inspector's field observations and photographs. Checklist Inspections reviews the report with clients directly and welcomes questions. If remediation is needed, they can help clients understand what a reasonable scope of work should look like so they can evaluate contractor bids more confidently.

Checklist Inspections is based in Gilbert and primarily serves the East Valley including Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Tempe, and Scottsdale.
