We regularly perform home mold inspections and commercial mold inspections in areas like Greenville, Greer, Spartanburg, Simpsonville, and Easley.
You can trust our IICRC-certified technicians to find the mold in your home, identify its type, and demonstrate ways to remove the mold and further remediation to prevent future mold growth.
Our certified mold inspectors perform a detailed visual inspection to identify visible mold, mildew, moisture intrusion, and problem areas commonly affected by water damage, crawl space conditions, or excess humidity.
We provide professional mold testing services, including air quality testing and air samples, to detect airborne mold spores, evaluate indoor air quality, and identify hidden mold issues impacting homes and commercial properties.
Using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and surface sampling when needed, we locate hidden moisture and mold growth inside walls, ceilings, crawl spaces, and HVAC-related areas to guide accurate next steps.
Homeowners across Upstate South Carolina choose Rehab Restoration for mold inspections because we focus on accuracy, transparency, and practical next steps. Our certified mold inspectors look beyond visible mold to identify moisture sources, air quality concerns, and conditions that contribute to mold growth, especially in crawl spaces, HVAC systems, and areas affected by water damage. Each inspection is performed on-site using professional tools, and findings are clearly explained so homeowners understand what’s happening in their home and what should be addressed next.
Mold inspection pricing varies based on the size of the property, the areas inspected, and whether mold testing such as air samples or surface swab testing is needed. Many inspections follow plumbing leaks, storm damage, or other sudden water events, and while mold itself isn’t always covered, the underlying water damage often is. Our documentation is designed to support insurance conversations by clearly outlining moisture sources, affected areas, and recommended follow-up, giving homeowners the information they need to move forward with confidence—whether that means monitoring conditions or planning mold remediation.
Homes and buildings across Upstate South Carolina are especially prone to mold issues due to persistent humidity, heavy rainfall, and construction features like crawl spaces and enclosed wall systems that trap moisture. Even small plumbing leaks or minor storm-related water damage can create conditions where mold growth develops quietly behind walls, under flooring, or within HVAC systems, often before visible mold appears.
Our mold inspections are designed to identify these region-specific challenges early by locating excess moisture, evaluating indoor air quality, and detecting hidden problem areas common to homes in Greenville, Greer, Spartanburg, and surrounding communities. By combining visual inspection, moisture detection, air testing, and advanced diagnostics, we help homeowners understand not just where mold is present, but why it’s forming—so the underlying issue can be addressed and future mold problems can be prevented.
The process begins with scheduling a convenient on-site mold inspection for your home or commercial property in Upstate South Carolina. In many cases, next-day appointments are available, and we gather initial details to understand any visible mold, water damage, or indoor air quality concerns before arriving. 24/7 Emergency services available.
During the inspection, a certified mold inspector performs a visual assessment, checks for excess moisture, evaluates crawl spaces and HVAC systems, and conducts air quality testing or surface sampling when needed. Advanced tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging help identify hidden mold growth and moisture sources.
After the inspection, we review our findings with you and explain what they mean in clear, straightforward terms. You’ll receive documentation outlining any mold issues discovered, contributing moisture conditions, and recommended next steps, including whether mold remediation or follow-up testing is advised.
You should consider a professional mold inspection anytime there are signs of visible mold, persistent musty odors, or ongoing indoor air quality concerns. Homes that have experienced recent water damage from plumbing leaks, storms, or roof issues are especially vulnerable, even if surfaces appear dry or mold is not immediately visible.
A mold inspection is also recommended when health issues worsen indoors, when buying or selling a home, or when moisture problems exist in crawl spaces, basements, or around HVAC systems. Early inspection helps identify mold growth and excess moisture before the problem spreads, providing homeowners with clear answers and peace of mind about the condition of their property.
We provide professional mold inspections throughout Upstate South Carolina, including Greenville, Greer, Spartanburg, and surrounding areas, with on-site service tailored to local moisture and climate conditions.
If you have visible mold, the most important step is identifying and fixing the moisture source. In many situations, additional sampling isn’t necessary to confirm what’s already visible, but an inspection can still be valuable to determine how far the mold extends and whether there are hidden problem areas behind walls, under flooring, in crawl spaces, or around HVAC components.
A mold inspection focuses on finding mold growth, moisture conditions, and likely sources, while mold testing (air samples or surface swabs) is used when mold is suspected but not visible, or when confirmation helps guide next steps. Testing should be planned and interpreted by professionals with experience in mold sampling protocols.
Public health guidance generally does not recommend routine air sampling as a default approach for building evaluations because there are no health-based standards for mold in indoor air and results can be difficult to interpret without context. Air testing can still be appropriate in specific situations (for example, when mold is suspected but not visible), but it should be used selectively and interpreted professionally.
No. There are no federal limits for mold or mold spores, and South Carolina notes there are no state or federal standards for mold or indoor air quality in homes or public buildings. This is why inspections focus heavily on moisture conditions, building materials, and practical remediation steps rather than “passing” or “failing” a numeric threshold.
Surface sampling can help in situations where it’s unclear what a substance is, or to support confirmation that an area was adequately cleaned after remediation. It’s typically most useful when paired with the on-site findings and moisture assessment rather than used as a standalone decision-maker.
The most common drivers are excess moisture from plumbing leaks, storm-related water intrusion, high humidity, wet building materials that don’t dry properly, and crawl space moisture. Preventing mold usually comes down to correcting moisture and drying materials effectively.
Coverage depends on the policy and the cause. Many insurers limit or exclude mold when it’s tied to long-term moisture issues or maintenance, but some policies may provide limited coverage when mold results from a sudden, covered water event (like an accidental discharge from a plumbing system). Documentation that connects the damage to the cause is often important in the claims process.
Try not to disturb suspected mold areas or run fans directly on visible growth, since that can complicate assessment. If possible, provide a brief history of any leaks, water damage, HVAC issues, or past remediation, and make crawl space, attic, or mechanical areas accessible for a complete on-site inspection.
Most inspections take about an hour or more depending on the property size and whether air samples or swab testing are needed. Afterward, you should expect clear documentation of findings, likely moisture sources, and practical follow-up recommendations (including whether remediation or additional air quality testing makes sense).
Success is typically measured by correcting the moisture problem, removing/cleaning affected materials properly, and confirming the area is dry and clean. In some cases, surface sampling or other verification steps may be used when there’s a specific reason to validate post-remediation conditions.
If you’re concerned about mold, moisture, or indoor air quality, a professional inspection can provide clear answers and a path forward. Rehab Restoration offers certified, on-site mold inspections for homes and commercial properties throughout Upstate South Carolina.
