SIMPLE PROCESS, CLEAR RESULTS

Our mold inspection services in Houston follow the same four-step process on every job, so you get the same lab-backed answers whether we are checking a single room or your whole home.
A Full Inspection, an Accredited-lab Report, and Clear Next Steps in One Business Day
Full Visual Inspection
Find visible mold and its source
We take air (spore-trap) samples to measure airborne spore counts, plus surface, swab, or tape-lift samples on any visible growth, each compared against an outdoor control. Every sample is analyzed by EMSL Analyticali, our accredited lab, for species and concentration.
Humidity & Moisture Check
Uncover hidden moisture behind the walls
With moisture meters, a thermal imaging camera, a hygrometer, and a borescope, we measure humidity, surface moisture, and dew point, and look inside wall cavities. Elevated readings in walls, subfloors, or behind cabinets point to the moisture intrusion where mold grows out of sight.
Sample Collection
Measure what is actually in your air
We take air (spore-trap) samples to measure airborne spore counts, plus surface, swab, or tape-lift samples on any visible growth, each compared against an outdoor control. Every sample is analyzed by EMSL Analytical, an AIHA-LAP (EMLAP) accredited lab, for species and concentration.
Your Lab-Backed Report
Clear answers in one business day
You get a clear, plain-language report within one business day, laying out exactly what we found and the steps to take next. It is written to be understood without a science background, and detailed enough to hand to a buyer, a lender, a landlord, or a remediation contractor. That way you can act on it right away.
What's in your report
- The mold species we identified
- Airborne spore counts, measured against outdoor levels
- Moisture readings and the source of any intrusion
- Photo documentation of every finding
- A clear recommendation on whether remediation is needed, and the protocol if it is
Because we only assess and never remediate, that recommendation has no stake in the outcome.
WHY MOLD TESTING HOUSTON?
Assessment is all we do, so the truth is all you get.
Ran Bozaglo founded Mold Testing Houston in 2017 on one rule: never combine testing with remediation. Most companies in Houston do both, so the company telling you how much mold you have is often the same one bidding to remove it. That is the conflict we were built to avoid. We inspect, we test, and we hand you the report, with no cleanup work of our own to steer you toward.
Assessment-only, always
We never do remediation, so our recommendation has no stake in the outcome.
Licensed under ACO1245
Every inspector holds an individual MAC license, the senior Texas mold credential.

Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.
“Second opinion testing after another company found mold and wanted to charge us a fortune to fix it. These guys found way less of an issue than the first company claimed. Makes sense since they don’t profit from remediation. Honest assessment.”
“Jeff did great work. He was very knowledgeable and helped explain my situation clearly to me. Pricing was very reasonable as well compared to a previous company I had used. Almost 40% less.”
“My experience was fast quick and through . They did my testing on Friday afternoon received my results Monday morning. Very detailed report. Letting us know the results and everything that needs to be done. I would recommend them100%!”

Mold testing in Houston costs a flat $550 with Mold Testing Houston, covering the full inspection and lab-analyzed samples. That flat rate is what keeps professional mold testing services affordable and predictable: no quote to chase and no surprise fees. Any additional samples are $85 each and are only collected with your approval, so the price you see is the price you pay. If mold is confirmed and remediation is required, a mold remediation protocol starts at $750.
Your full lab-backed report is ready within one business day of the inspection, or 24 business hours. A Friday afternoon inspection means results Monday morning. Same-day appointments are available across Greater Houston, so if you need an emergency mold inspection, we can usually be at your door within hours and have answers in front of you the next business day.
A typical inspection takes 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the home. Your assessor performs a full visual inspection, scans for hidden moisture with meters and a thermal imaging camera, and collects air and surface samples for the lab. You are welcome to stay home during the inspection; most homeowners do, and we encourage you to walk along and ask questions. Everything we find goes into a plain-language report with photos.
DIY kits can tell you mold exists, but mold spores exist in every home, so a positive result tells you very little. A kit cannot tell you whether your spore levels are actually elevated, where the moisture source is, or whether the problem is large enough to require licensed remediation. Professional testing compares your indoor samples against an outdoor control and is analyzed by an accredited lab, which is the documentation a landlord, buyer, or remediation contractor will actually accept.
Free mold inspections in Houston almost always come from remediation companies, and the inspection is free because it is a sales visit: the company profits when it finds mold to remove. Texas law separates testing from remediation for exactly this reason. We charge a flat $550 because the assessment is the product, not the pitch, and our only incentive is an accurate result.
Yes. Indoor air quality testing for mold is a core part of every inspection. We collect air samples with a calibrated pump, including an outdoor control sample for comparison, and the lab reports the exact spore types and counts in your air. If you can smell something musty but cannot see anything, air sampling is usually how the problem gets found.
No, and we never will. Under Texas law, mold assessment and mold remediation must be performed by separate companies, and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation enforces that separation. We only inspect and test, which means our findings are never influenced by a cleanup bid. If remediation is needed, we write the protocol and you choose any licensed remediator to follow it.
Yes. Mold Testing Houston is a TDLR-licensed mold assessment company (license ACO1245), and every inspection is handled by a certified mold inspector and licensed Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC), the senior credential for assessing mold in Texas. That means you always work with a licensed mold specialist, not a subcontractor, and we are fully insured. If you are wondering who to call for mold testing, Texas law answers that for you: a licensed, independent assessment company. Here is more on who should conduct a mold inspection.
Yes. Every sample is analyzed by EMSL Analytical, an independent, AIHA-LAP accredited laboratory. We do not analyze our own samples, and the lab has no stake in what we find. That two-layer independence, an assessment-only inspector and a third-party accredited lab, is what makes the numbers in your report worth trusting.
When we suspect mold growth behind your walls, we use a minimally invasive approach. We drill a small hole (less than 1 inch by 1 inch) and insert a borescope, a small snake camera, to visually inspect the wall cavity. We can also collect an air sample directly from inside the wall for laboratory analysis, which confirms whether mold is growing where you cannot see it.
Yes, especially in Houston, where humidity and past water damage make hidden mold common in homes of every age. For buyers, testing before closing costs far less than discovering remediation after. For sellers, a clean lab-backed report takes a negotiation weapon off the table before it is raised. We handle pre-purchase inspections, lender-required testing, and clearance testing before closing, with results in one business day for time-sensitive transactions.
If your report confirms mold, the next step depends on the size of the problem. Texas requires a licensed remediation company working from a written protocol when contamination covers 25 contiguous square feet or more. We prepare that mold remediation protocol, you hire any licensed remediator you choose to follow it, and clearance testing afterward verifies the work actually succeeded. Your report lays out these next steps in plain language.
