About Sunland Property Inspections
Sunland Property Inspections has been serving the Greater Phoenix area since 2009, building a reputation for thorough assessments that homeowners and real estate agents actually trust. The team is certified through ASHI and holds MICRO credentials for mold inspection, so you're not just getting a generalist with a flashlight. They work on residential and light commercial properties, and they don't try to upsell you on services you don't need. What sets Sunland apart is their approach to communication. You get a detailed digital report within 24 hours, written in plain English instead of inspection jargon. They'll walk you through findings on-site if you're present, or call you afterward to explain anything that needs attention. For a city that sees as much monsoon-related water damage as Phoenix does, having an inspector who understands local moisture patterns matters more than most people realize.
How They Can Help
Sunland offers a full range of residential and commercial inspection services with a strong focus on environmental health. Their core mold inspection includes visual assessment of all accessible areas, moisture mapping with a calibrated meter, and air sampling if conditions warrant it. Samples go to an accredited third-party laboratory, typically EMSL or Pro-Lab, for analysis. Beyond mold, they conduct full home inspections covering structural components, roofing, HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical. This matters because mold doesn't usually appear in isolation. A roof leak, a failed HVAC condensate drain, or a slow plumbing leak is almost always behind it. Catching the source during a home inspection saves you from hiring a separate contractor to diagnose the problem later. They also offer pre-listing inspections for sellers who want to know what buyers will find, post-remediation clearance testing to confirm that mold counts have returned to acceptable levels, and VOC and indoor air quality assessments for clients dealing with unexplained respiratory symptoms or odors. Radon testing is available as an add-on. All reports include photos and prioritized findings so nothing gets buried at the back of a long document.
What to Expect
The inspection starts with a brief phone intake where the inspector asks about your concerns, the property type, and any known water history. That context shapes where they focus first when they arrive. On the day of the inspection, the inspector does a full visual walkthrough of accessible interior spaces, including the attic and crawl space if present. They use both pin-type and non-invasive moisture meters to check walls, ceilings, and floors in areas prone to water intrusion. If elevated moisture or visible mold is found, they'll discuss whether air or surface sampling makes sense based on what they're seeing. Samples ship to the lab the same day. Results typically come back within 2 to 3 business days, and the full written report is delivered as a PDF with lab results attached. If findings are significant, the inspector calls to walk you through the results before the report lands in your inbox. They can also provide a summary letter suitable for sharing with sellers or real estate agents during a transaction.
Service Area
Sunland Property Inspections covers the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Peoria, Glendale, and Surprise. They'll travel to Cave Creek, Anthem, and Queen Creek for an additional trip fee. Most Phoenix-area jobs can be scheduled within 48 hours. If you're not sure whether your address falls within their primary service zone, a quick phone call before you book will confirm it without any commitment.
