Why mold is common in Knoxville homes
East Tennessee's humid summers, frequent rain and the region's many crawl-space homes make hidden moisture common. Most mold problems we see start under the house or behind a slow leak, not in plain sight.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a mold inspection cost in Knoxville?
It depends on the size of the home and whether you want lab testing (air or surface samples). You get a firm quote on the phone before anything is scheduled, and there is no charge for the call.
What is the difference between mold inspection and mold testing?
An inspection is a visual and moisture-meter check of the home to find growth and the water problem feeding it. Testing adds air or surface samples sent to a lab, which tells you the type and amount of mold. Many homeowners start with an inspection and add testing only if something is found or symptoms persist.
Should the company that inspects my home also remove the mold?
Ideally not. An independent inspector has no reason to find more mold than is there. If remediation is needed, you get a written scope you can take to any remediation company, and a clearance test afterward to confirm the job was done.
How fast can someone come out?
Most Knoxville inspections are scheduled within one to three days. Leave your number and the best time to reach you, and you'll get a call back the same business day.
Do you inspect crawl spaces and basements?
Yes. Crawl spaces, basements and attics are where most hidden mold starts, so they are part of a standard inspection.
I'm buying a house. Can I get a mold inspection before closing?
Yes. A pre-purchase mold inspection can be done within a normal inspection contingency window. Mention your closing date when you call so the visit and report fit your deadline.
