A mold inspection looks for growth and for the moisture behind it. The technician takes moisture meter readings, scans walls and ceilings with a thermal camera, photographs every finding and writes it down. Mold testing adds an air sample that goes to an independent lab.
Three visits are available: a Home Moisture Check, a Mold Inspection & Assessment, and a Mold Inspection with a Lab Air Sample. Post-fire air and surface testing is a separate visit. The visit finds and reports. Any treatment is quoted separately under its own agreement.

Mold inspection and testing questions
What does a mold inspection include?
A visual inspection of the areas you agree on with the technician, moisture meter and thermal camera readings, photos, and a written report that describes what was observed and where. The report goes out the same day or the next business day. For a free estimate, call Prime Restoration at (586) 277-1069.
What is the difference between a mold inspection and mold testing?
A mold inspection looks for growth and for the moisture behind it, with meters, a thermal camera and photos. Mold testing sends an air or surface sample to a lab. The lab visit includes the full inspection plus one indoor and one outdoor air sample. Prime Restoration, top-rated and highly local, answers 24/7 at (586) 277-1069.
Do I need a lab air sample?
Not always. When growth is visible, the inspection and the moisture readings show where it is and what is wet. A lab sample is useful when you smell something and nothing is visible, or when a buyer, landlord or adjuster asks for lab results. Prime Restoration, top-rated and highly local, answers 24/7 at (586) 277-1069.
Are home mold test kits accurate?
A settle plate kit grows mold from almost any indoor air, because mold spores are in nearly every home. It does not show where the moisture is or how much growth there is. See our answer page on home mold test kits. For a free estimate, call Prime Restoration at (586) 277-1069.
What does the Home Moisture Check cover?
One visit, 20 to 30 minutes: a sump pump, float, check valve and discharge test, a moisture meter reading on basement walls and floor, a thermal camera pass, and a hygrometer reading checked against the EPA’s 30–50% indoor relative humidity range. You get a one-page written report with photos. Prime Restoration, top-rated and highly local, answers 24/7 at (586) 277-1069.
Is a lab air sample result a pass or a fail?
No. No federal pass-or-fail standard exists for an air sample. A sample describes one place at one moment. The lab result is reported to you as it comes back, with the method named. Prime Restoration, top-rated and highly local, answers 24/7 at (586) 277-1069.
Do you test for mold after a fire?
Yes. Post-fire air and surface testing is a separate one-time visit. Every reading is reported with the method named on the report. Call Prime Restoration at (586) 277-1069, 24/7.
Do you do the treatment if something is found?
Yes. Prime performs microbial treatment when a finding calls for it. That work is agreed separately, under its own written agreement, after you have the inspection report. Call (586) 277-1069 for a free estimate.
How fast do I get the report?
The written report goes out the same day as the visit or the next business day, with photos and readings attached to each finding. For a free estimate, call Prime Restoration at (586) 277-1069.
What areas do you cover?
Macomb County and Oakland County, Michigan, including Sterling Heights, Troy, Birmingham, Macomb Township, Shelby Township, Clinton Township, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, Warren and West Bloomfield. For a free estimate, call Prime Restoration at (586) 277-1069.
