What does mold inspection Houston cost? 

Experiencing unusual odors or suspect that your home or office may have a mold, mildew, or fungus problem? 

IAQ Environmental provides on-site mold assessment services to identify and evaluate potential health risks from mold contamination in residential and commercial properties.

Mold’s function is to break down and decompose organic materials. Given sufficient moisture, they can grow on almost any material, even inorganic ones, where enough dirt or materials congregate. Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce, which float through the air. When mold spores land on a damp spot, they can grow and digest whatever they are growing on. 

Some molds can grow on wood, paper, carpet, fabric, and foods. There is no normal way to eliminate mold and mold spores in an indoor environment. Thus the key to controlling indoor mold growth is to control moisture.

Molds grow in damp or wet areas indoors. They can get the moisture they need from water leaks or the air in high humidity areas. Common indoor mold growth sites include basement and attic walls, floors and ceilings, windows where moisture condenses, and near pipes.

Causes of water or moisture problems include leaks in the basement or roof, condensation associated with high humidity or cold spots, localized flooding due to plumbing failures or heavy rains, slow leaks in plumbing fixtures, or lack of appropriate maintenance. Sustained high humidity can also be a moisture source leading to mold growth, particularly in hot, humid climates. Attics and basements are often most at risk.

IAQ Environmental specializes in mold testing and inspection for any mold problem in your home or office for Houston, and surrounding areas. Mold costs vary on the size of the property and the service required. Typically, we take three air samples one outdoor, and two indoors. The cost associated with mold air sampling and mold inspection is $399.00, which includes a full analysis by a Texas accredited laboratory.
