We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Nonantum-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
After a pipe leak we had mold in the crawl space. They sealed the area, removed the mold, and left everything spotless.

Mold Inspection for Nonantum, MA homes
Mold Inspection in Nonantum tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Bemis, Newtonville, Watertown Square and the rest of Nonantum call us.
We handle mold inspection for Nonantum the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Auburndale, about 5 minutes from our Auburndale base, so we can usually reach a Nonantum home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Mold Inspection in Nonantum, MA: common questions
Do I need visible mold to get an inspection?
No, many inspections happen because of a musty smell, past water damage, or just wanting a clear picture before a renovation or home purchase.
What's the difference between an inspection and testing?
An inspection is a visual and moisture-based assessment. Testing involves collecting samples for lab analysis, which we offer as a separate or add-on service.
What happens if the inspection finds mold?
We'll explain what we found and what remediation would involve, so you can decide how to move forward with clear information.

We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Nonantum home.

It depends on the size of the home, but most residential inspections take a couple of hours to cover the high-risk areas thoroughly.

Yes, documented findings from an inspection can support decisions during a home purchase or sale where mold history is a concern.
