Knowing what you actually have is step one. [$150 Flat Rate - Call 316-374-6017](tel:+13163746017) ## What's Included in a Visual Inspection Visual walkthrough of suspect areas Moisture meter readings on walls, ceilings, and floors Thermal imaging to find hidden moisture Written recommendation emailed after the visit (remediation, testing, or no action) Honest pricing if remediation is needed ## When to Book an Inspection - Visible growth of any color - Persistent musty smell in bathrooms or basements - Recent water damage that wasn't dried properly - Unexplained respiratory symptoms since moving in - Buying a home (especially older homes in Riverside, College Hill, Delano) - Selling a home and want to disclose accurately ## What a Visual Inspection Won't Tell You A visual inspection tells you whether mold is likely present and where the moisture source is. It cannot identify species or quantify spore count. If your situation requires species-level documentation (legal dispute, insurance claim, doctor's request), we'll tell you during the inspection and refer you to an independent industrial hygienist for lab sampling. Most homeowners don't need that step. For more on the difference, see our [mold testing](/mold-testing) page. ## Inspection vs. Lab Testing vs. Remediation ### Visual Inspection What we do Same-day walkthrough with moisture and thermal imaging. Is there a problem? ### Lab Testing Referred out when needed 3 to 5 day turnaround with an independent industrial hygienist. What species, what spore count? ### Remediation What we do Scope priced on-site after assessment. Remove it. Most jobs: visual inspection then [mold remediation](/mold-remediation). Lab testing only enters when clearance documentation or legal evidence is required. If water damage is the underlying cause, see our [water extraction services](/water-extraction). For Wichita-specific service, visit our [mold inspection in Wichita](/mold-inspection-wichita) page. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How much does a mold inspection cost in Wichita? ### How long does an inspection take? ### Will you upsell me on remediation I don't need? ### Do I get a written report after the inspection? ### Can you inspect rental or commercial properties? ## Book Your $150 Mold Inspection Flat rate.
