Expert Mold Inspections & Environmental Testing in Frederick, MD

No. A professional home inspection is an examination of the current condition of a house. It is not an appraisal, which determines market value. It is not a municipal inspection, which verifies local code compliance. A home inspector, therefore, will not pass or fail a house, but rather describe its physical condition and indicate what components and systems may need major repair or replacement.

The state of Maryland does not require home inspectors to walk the roof, but we make our best effort to do so depending on safety, height, roof pitch, roof conditions, and weather conditions. If the conditions prevent the Inspector from mounting the roof, we will use a drone to inspect and take pictures.

Contact a professional to perform a mold inspection to determine if there are other areas in your home that have mold. After the inspection, have a mold remediator/restoration company properly remove/treat the mold. Check our Preferred Vendors for a trusted contractor. Contact us to schedule a mold inspection!

The only way to tell if your drinking water is safe is by having it tested at a certified laboratory. Harmful bacteria, parasites, and viruses are invisible to the naked eye, so water which looks and tastes good may not necessarily be safe to drink. These microbes can exist in surface and groundwater supplies, and can cause immediate sickness in humans if not properly treated. Certain chemical contaminants that are sometimes found in a water source can cause long term health problems that take years to develop. Frequent water testing will identify unsafe water and ensure that the treatment system is treating the water to a satisfactory level.
