Question 1

Is mold testing necessary or can I just see it?

Accepted Answer

Visible mold tells you there is a problem but not how bad it is. Hidden mold behind walls and elevated spore counts in the air are common even when you only see a small patch. Testing gives the full picture.

Question 2

How long does a mold inspection take?

Accepted Answer

A standard residential inspection takes 1 to 3 hours depending on property size and how many samples are collected. Results from lab analysis come back in 2 to 5 business days.

Question 3

Does homeowners insurance cover mold?

Accepted Answer

Coverage depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden pipe burst is often covered. Mold from long-term neglect or maintenance issues usually is not. Check your policy or call your insurer before filing a claim.

Question 4

Does Pillar To Post Home Inspectors - Nathanial Klein do remediation too?

Accepted Answer

Some companies inspect and remediate, others only inspect. If they do both, ask how they handle the conflict of interest. Ideally, the company diagnosing the problem is separate from the one being paid to fix it. Call (314) 571-9671.

Question 5

How much does a mold inspection cost?

Accepted Answer

Residential mold inspections typically run $200 to $600 depending on home size and number of samples. Lab analysis is sometimes an additional charge. Call (314) 571-9671 for a quote.
