FAQ
Pricing questions
Why do you show price ranges instead of a fixed price?
Because cost depends on home size, access and how many samples answer your question. You should know the likely range before anyone shows up, and we confirm your exact price in writing before the visit. If your home needs more samples, we agree on them before taking them.
Will insurance pay for my mold test?
Sometimes, when the mold is tied to a sudden, covered event like a burst pipe. Many policies cap or exclude mold. Ask your insurer before booking if you plan to submit the cost.
Do larger homes cost more?
The ranges cover a typical single-family home. Very large homes, multiple buildings or commercial properties are quoted in advance, in writing.
