Why Mold Inspection Matters
1. Protecting Indoor Air Quality
Every building naturally contains some level of airborne mold spores, but when moisture problems occur, these spores multiply rapidly. A professional mold inspection identifies hidden contamination sources that can compromise your indoor air quality.
Poor air quality caused by mold can lead to headaches, fatigue, coughing, and irritations of the eyes and throat — especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Lakeshore Restoration’s certified inspectors use specialized air sampling equipment and laboratory analysis to determine if spore concentrations exceed safe thresholds for your family or employees.
2. Hidden Mold and Moisture Problems
Mold thrives in damp, dark areas like basements, attics, crawl spaces, and behind drywall — areas that are not visible during routine cleaning. Hidden mold colonies can silently deteriorate wood framing, insulation, and drywall.
Our mold testing process detects these hidden sources by measuring air and surface samples, even when there are no visible signs, allowing you to address the problem before it escalates into a major remediation project.
3. Health Risks: Allergies, Asthma, and Respiratory Issues
Exposure to elevated mold spore levels is one of the most common environmental triggers for allergies and asthma. Sensitive individuals — including children, seniors, and those with compromised immune systems — may experience worsened respiratory symptoms or chronic sinus issues.
By conducting a thorough mold inspection, you’re not just protecting your property — you’re ensuring a healthier living environment. Early detection helps prevent prolonged exposure that can lead to ongoing health concerns and costly medical bills.
5. Peace of Mind for Homeowners and Buyers
Whether you’ve recently had a water damage event, are purchasing a new property, or simply want assurance that your indoor environment is safe, professional mold testing provides clarity and confidence. Lakeshore Restoration delivers detailed lab reports with actionable recommendations to help you make informed decisions about remediation or preventive maintenance.
4. Preventing Structural Damage and Long-Term Costs
Beyond health impacts, mold infestation can weaken wood framing, compromise drywall integrity, and deteriorate flooring materials. Left untreated, it can cause expensive structural repairs and lower your property value.
Timely inspection and testing allow homeowners and business owners to correct underlying moisture or water intrusion issues, protecting the building’s structure and preventing recurring mold growth.

🧪 Our Mold Inspection & Testing Process
Every mold inspection and testing is performed by certified professionals following the ANSI/IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation and recognized industry best practices. Our goal is to identify all potential contamination sources, determine the extent of the problem, and provide reliable data to guide your next steps — whether that’s remediation or preventive moisture control.
1. Initial Assessment & Visual Inspection
Every project begins with a comprehensive site evaluation. Our inspectors perform a detailed visual walkthrough of the property, identifying visible mold growth, water stains, or other signs of hidden moisture problems.
We use tools such as:
-
Moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect elevated humidity or hidden leaks.
-
Hygrometers to measure indoor relative humidity levels.
-
Flashlight and inspection mirrors to evaluate hidden or hard-to-reach areas such as basements, attics, and HVAC closets.
-
If mold is visible, we document the findings with photos and notes to include in your inspection report.
2. Air Sampling & Laboratory Analysis
Because mold spores are microscopic and often invisible to the naked eye, air testing helps quantify airborne contamination levels.
We collect indoor and outdoor air samples using calibrated pumps and cassettes to measure the concentration and species of airborne spores.
These samples are analyzed by an independent certified laboratory, which identifies the type and quantity of mold spores present.
Results typically include:
-
Spore count per cubic meter of air.
-
Species identification (e.g., Aspergillus, Penicillium, Stachybotrys, etc.).
-
Comparison between indoor and outdoor baselines to determine abnormal growth.
-
Air testing is especially important when there are no visible signs of mold but there’s a persistent odor or health complaints among occupants.
3. Surface Sampling: Swabs, Tape Lifts & Bulk Testing
When visible mold or discoloration is found, surface sampling provides additional insight. Our inspectors may collect:
-
Swab samples — to identify microbial contamination on smooth surfaces.
-
Tape lifts — for textured materials like drywall or painted wood.
-
Bulk samples — small pieces of contaminated material to determine the depth of mold penetration.
These samples are also sent to a certified lab for microscopic analysis, confirming the presence, type, and viability of mold growth on affected materials.
4. Moisture Source Identification
Mold cannot exist without moisture. During inspection, we track the source of water intrusion or humidity buildup — whether from a roof leak, plumbing failure, condensation, or poor ventilation.
Identifying and resolving these moisture sources is essential to preventing future growth and ensuring any remediation efforts are successful.
5. Documentation & Report Delivery
Once testing is complete, Lakeshore Restoration prepares a comprehensive inspection report that includes:
-
Lab results and interpretation
-
Visual findings and photographs
-
Moisture readings and humidity data
-
Recommendations for remediation, cleaning, or moisture correction
We explain the results in clear, easy-to-understand language and guide you through the best course of action for your home or business.
6. Transparent Communication & Next Steps
If elevated mold levels are confirmed, we provide a step-by-step remediation plan following IICRC S520 standards, ensuring containment, removal, and post-remediation verification are done correctly.
For clients who require it, we can also coordinate third-party post-remediation clearance testing to verify that the environment has returned to normal fungal ecology.
