Book Your Inspection
Mold is one of the most common surprises in a Michigan home sale, and one of the easiest to get ahead of. Finished basements, older foundations, and lake-area humidity in places like West Bloomfield, Waterford, and Commerce Township mean a lot of Oakland County homes have moisture history that a standard home inspection only flags. Spore Shield's real estate mold inspection gives buyers, sellers, and agents lab-verified answers inside a normal contingency window.
We schedule around your inspection period and move fast when a deal is on the clock. Standard lab results come back in 72 hours. If your contingency is tight, 24-hour rush results are available. Call (248) 955-2269 and tell us your deadline.
Buyers get objective data to decide, negotiate, or walk away. Sellers who test before listing take mold off the table as a last-minute objection. Because Spore Shield only inspects and tests, nobody on our side profits from finding a problem, which is why agents on both sides of a deal trust the report.
If mold is found, you receive a written remediation protocol that defines the scope of work, so repair credits and contractor bids are based on the same document instead of guesswork. If results come back clear, you receive a Spore Shield Certified™ document for the closing folder.
Real estate agents who refer clients regularly can join our Agent Partner Program for scheduling priority and a dedicated contact line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a mold inspection fit inside my inspection contingency?
Usually, yes. Standard lab results take 72 hours, and 24-hour rush results are available. Call us as soon as you have an accepted offer so we can schedule around your deadline.
My home inspector mentioned possible mold. Do I still need a mold test?
A home inspector can note staining or moisture, but they don't usually collect samples or send them to a lab. A mold inspection confirms what is actually there, how far it extends, and what it will take to fix, which is what you need to negotiate.
What happens if the test finds mold?
You receive a written remediation protocol that defines the scope of work. Buyers and sellers can use it to get comparable contractor bids and negotiate repairs or credits. We can return after the work for independent clearance testing.
Should sellers test before listing?
If the home has a basement, past water damage, or a musty smell, testing before listing lets you fix issues on your own timeline instead of under buyer pressure. Clear results come with a Spore Shield Certified™ document you can share with buyers.
