Book Your Inspection
When you can smell something but can't see it, or you've spotted discoloration and need to know exactly what you're dealing with, Spore Shield's standard mold inspection and testing service gives you the full picture. This is our most popular service for homeowners across Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne County.
Our certified inspector performs a thorough room-by-room visual walkthrough, scanning every moisture-prone area: basements, crawl spaces, attics, bathrooms, HVAC returns, around windows, and behind drywall where thermal imaging can detect hidden moisture pockets without cutting a single wall.
We collect certified air and surface samples from the areas of concern and an outdoor control sample, then ship everything to our certified third-party lab. Standard results come back in 72 hours, and rush results are available in 24 to 48 hours. You receive a professional written report with your lab results, a plain-English explanation of what was found, and, if mold is present, a complete remediation protocol that any licensed contractor can follow.
Because Spore Shield does not perform remediation, you can trust that our findings are completely unbiased. We have no financial incentive to find a problem that isn't there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a mold inspection if I can already see mold?
Often, yes. Visible growth is usually only part of the picture. An inspection finds the moisture source feeding it, checks for hidden growth behind walls and under flooring, and measures whether spore levels indoors are elevated compared to outside. That information defines the scope of any cleanup so you are not guessing.
Should I get mold testing before hiring a remediation company?
We recommend it. An independent inspection documents what is actually there and produces a written protocol that defines the scope of work. You can then get remediation bids against the same scope instead of relying on the contractor who profits from the job to decide how big the job is.
What happens during a mold inspection?
A certified inspector walks the home room by room, uses FLIR thermal imaging and a calibrated moisture meter to find hidden moisture, and collects air and/or surface samples plus an outdoor control. Samples go to a certified third-party AIHA/NVLAP-accredited lab, and you receive a written report with photos and a plain-English explanation of the results.
Do you remove mold?
No. Spore Shield only inspects and tests. We do not perform remediation, so we have no financial incentive to find a problem. If mold is found, you receive a remediation protocol any licensed contractor can follow, and we can return afterward for independent post-remediation clearance testing.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homes across Southeast Michigan, including Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties.
