These are typical ranges, not quotes. The sections below explain what moves these prices. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
The inspector goes over the places where moisture tends to collect, such as the attic, the crawl space or basement, bathrooms, the kitchen, the area around windows and the heating and cooling equipment. Many use a moisture meter, and some use a thermal camera, to find damp spots that are hard to see. You get notes or a report on where moisture or growth turned up and what may be causing it.
The tester takes samples and a lab analyzes them. Air samples are usually drawn through a cassette with a small pump, often with one taken outdoors so the indoor results have something to be compared with. Surface samples use a swab or a piece of tape lifted from a spot where growth is visible. The lab's results come back in a report the tester can go over with you.
Some homeowners start with the inspection and test only if something turns up, and others order both at once. An inspection may include no samples at all, so check whether a quote is for the visual check, for testing or for both. Neither one removes mold. That is remediation, often done by a different company.
The testing visit range above is a flat price, which often covers a set number of samples. The per-sample range is what some testers charge for each sample, either on its own or for samples beyond the ones the visit covers.
What moves the price
- Size and layout
- A larger home, or one with an attic, a crawl space and a basement to get into, takes longer to go through and usually costs more.
- How many samples
- Each sample carries a lab fee, so samples from several rooms, plus an outdoor comparison sample, cost more than one taken in a single spot. A flat visit that already covers several samples can cost less in the end than a low visit fee with every sample charged on top.
- Moisture tools used
- An inspection that uses a thermal camera or a moisture meter throughout may be priced higher than a walk-through by eye, though it can find damp spots that a look alone would miss.
- One room or whole house
- Checking a single room where you see a stain or notice a musty smell usually costs less than going over the whole house.
- Rush lab results
- Some labs return results sooner for an added fee, which the tester may pass on, so ask about it if your closing date is near.
- Clearance testing
- Testing again after mold is removed, to check the work, is a second visit and a second set of samples, so it adds to the total.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each home inspector before you compare prices:
- Is this a visual inspection only, or are samples included in the price?
- How many samples does the flat price include, and what does each extra sample cost?
- What tools will you use to find moisture behind walls or under floors?
- Will you take an outdoor sample to compare with the indoor ones?
- How soon do the lab results come back, and is faster service extra?
- Do you also remove mold, or do you only inspect and test for it?
