Before your appointment
Mold sampling preparation.
Start 48 hours before your appointment. Share this guide with whoever is preparing the property.
48 hours before your appointment
Close doors & windows.
Keep all doors and windows closed for 48 hours before your inspection. This helps prevent outside air from diluting the indoor air being tested.
24 hours before your appointment
Turn off air-treatment devices.
Turn off humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and air purification devices at least 24 hours before your inspection. They can change airborne particles or moisture levels and affect sampling results.
This does not include your HVAC system. Leave it running normally.
Inspection day before we arrive
Keep your HVAC running.
Leave your system operating under normal conditions. Turning it off for an extended period changes airflow and can affect how results reflect everyday conditions.
Avoid baths & showers.
Hold off on bathing or showering immediately before the appointment. Added moisture can make it harder to identify the source of a moisture concern.
Clear the areas we need to inspect.
Remove clutter and obstructions so your inspector can access all areas of the home. Empty cabinets under sinks and clear other places where mold may commonly be found.
