Mold can pose serious health risks and cause structural damage if left undetected. At Funguy Inspections & Consulting, we specialize in thorough mold inspection services to identify, assess, and recommend solutions for mold-related issues. Whether you suspect mold in your home, office, or commercial property, our certified experts ensure an accurate assessment using industry-leading techniques. Our goal is to provide you with clear, actionable insights to maintain a safe and healthy environment.
Our Mold Inspection Methods
We use advanced mold detection methods to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your property. Our thorough approach ensures that no mold problem goes unnoticed.
Visual Inspection
Our inspectors conduct a meticulous walkthrough of your property, paying close attention to areas prone to moisture, such as basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and attics. We look for visible signs of mold, including discoloration, staining, and surface growth, while also assessing areas for water damage and leaks that could contribute to mold formation.
Moisture Meters & Thermal Imaging
Mold thrives in damp environments, often forming in places not easily visible. Using state-of-the-art moisture meters, we detect hidden pockets of moisture within walls, ceilings, and flooring. Additionally, our thermal imaging cameras help pinpoint areas of concern by identifying temperature variations that may indicate excess moisture, condensation, or leaks.
Air & Surface Sampling
Not all mold is visible. Air and surface sampling allows us to identify mold spores that may be circulating in your indoor environment. By collecting air and surface samples from different areas of your property, we send them to a certified laboratory for testing. The lab results provide a clear picture of the type and concentration of mold present, helping determine the best course of action.

Borescope Inspection
Mold can hide within walls, behind drywall, and inside ceilings, making it difficult to detect through conventional means. A borescope inspection involves using a small camera inserted through tiny openings to examine these concealed spaces. This non-invasive method allows us to assess hidden areas without unnecessary damage to your property.
HVAC & Ventilation Inspection
Mold spores can travel through your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, spreading contamination throughout your home or building. We inspect air ducts, filters, and ventilation pathways to ensure that your HVAC system is not a contributing factor to mold problems. If necessary, we provide recommendations for cleaning or remediation to improve indoor air quality.
Our Mold Inspection Process
Initial Consultation
Our process begins with a discussion about your mold concerns. Whether you’ve noticed a musty smell, visible mold growth, or have experienced recent water damage, we take the time to understand your specific situation and outline the best approach for inspection.
On-Site Inspection
Our trained inspectors conduct a detailed evaluation of your property using specialized tools and techniques. This includes a full visual assessment, moisture detection, and air quality testing to identify potential mold growth and hidden moisture sources.
Sampling & Lab Testing
If necessary, we collect air and surface samples to be analyzed in a certified laboratory. This step helps us determine the presence of mold spores, their type, and their concentration levels, giving us a scientific basis for further recommendations.
Detailed Report & Recommendations
After the inspection and analysis, we provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings. This report includes images, lab results, moisture readings, and expert recommendations for remediation and prevention.
Guidance on Remediation
If mold is detected, we offer expert guidance on the best remediation practices. While we do not perform mold remediation, our unbiased approach ensures that you receive the most effective solutions tailored to your property’s needs.
Why Hire a Professional Mold Inspector?
Accurate Identification
Not all discoloration or staining is mold. A professional mold inspector can accurately differentiate between mold, mildew, and other substances, ensuring that you take appropriate action based on reliable findings.
Health Protection
Mold exposure can lead to respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other health issues, especially for individuals with asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems. A professional inspection helps safeguard your family, employees, or tenants from these risks by identifying mold at its source.
Property Value Preservation
Unchecked mold growth can damage your home or commercial property, leading to costly repairs. Identifying and addressing mold early prevents structural deterioration and protects your investment.
Insurance & Legal Compliance
Many insurance policies and real estate transactions require professional mold inspection reports. Having a certified mold assessment can help you navigate claims, real estate sales, or rental agreements while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Expert Recommendations
Unlike remediation companies that may have a financial interest in finding mold, we provide independent, unbiased inspections with honest recommendations. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions about your property.
