Mold Inspection in Orange County & Anaheim
Mold hides in places you rarely check—behind drywall, under sinks, tucked into corners—and by the time you spot it, the problem has already grown, posing serious threats to respiratory health and overall well-being. Moisture from leaks, aging pipes, and poor airflow shows up in homes all over Orange County and Anaheim, creating conditions where mold thrives. Our mold inspection services are thorough and precise, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to detect mold even in the most obscure areas of your property, testing and documenting exactly what's happening behind your walls and in your air.
Why a Thorough Mold Inspection Matters
A thorough mold inspection or assessment is essential for identifying hidden mold growth and moisture issues, which could compromise the health and safety of your property, as water intrusion or moisture problems are often concealed from view and require specialized equipment to detect. At Condol's Environmental Services (CES), our certified inspectors provide a meticulous visual inspection, checking all walls for concealed moisture, taking temperature and humidity readings throughout the space, and paying close attention to areas with plumbing—such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms—as well as inspecting the HVAC system for visible mold presence. With our detailed assessments, we ensure you have the insight needed to tackle mold challenges effectively and recommend the right next steps for remediation.
Our Complete Mold Inspection Process
Our process is thorough and transparent. We take our time, document every step, and explain results in plain language so you know what's at stake for your property. Our complete mold inspection process includes:
- In-Depth Visual Property Inspection: We conduct a full walkthrough of the property to identify visible signs of mold and moisture.
- Certified Mold Inspectors: All inspections are performed by our highly trained, certified mold inspection professionals.
- Inspection of Common Mold-Prone Areas: We target areas with higher mold growth risk, including bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and attics.
- Thermal Imaging Infrared Scan: Advanced infrared technology helps us detect temperature variations that may indicate hidden moisture.
- Radio-Wave Moisture Detection: We use non-invasive radio-wave moisture meters to locate potential water intrusion sites.
- Attic Assessment: When accessible, we check the attic for signs of water damage or mold growth.
- HVAC System Evaluation: We inspect the blower fan, air handler, coils, and accessible ductwork to ensure your system isn't harboring mold.
- Air Sampling to Measure Spore Levels: Air samples from different rooms show how indoor counts compare to outside.
- Surface Testing on Walls, Ceilings, and Floors: Swabs or tape lifts from suspicious spots reveal the mold type.
- Documented Problem Areas: Digital photos are taken of any problem areas for reference.
- Lab Analysis and Detailed Reporting: Certified labs analyze samples, and we deliver a full digital report with clear findings and recommendations.
- Customized Mold Remediation Protocol: For cases requiring remediation, we can prepare a tailored remediation protocol to address the specific needs of your project.
Depending on your property's size, the inspection takes a few hours. Once lab results arrive, we walk you through the report and answer every question. If you need remediation, we connect you with trusted professionals who can handle the job.
What We Recommend After Inspection
When the inspection is done, the next step is stopping mold from coming back by fixing leaks, repairing damaged roofs, improving ventilation in problem areas, and thoroughly cleaning your HVAC system if it shows signs of mold. After cleanup, we offer post-remediation testing to confirm spore levels are back to normal, giving you proof the job was done right and your home is safe again. Many Orange County and Anaheim homeowners choose follow-up testing after water damage or major repairs for added peace of mind.
