Our Client Testimonials
We worked with Jerry and his guys on a house we were buying. From the start, Jerry was kind, knowledgeable, and very responsive. They were so patient as our closing kept getting pushed back over and over, and never made us feel bad for rescheduling. Once they came in to do the work, they were quick, clean, and did an amazing job. MSR came highly recommended from our realtor, and we would definitely recommend them to everyone. Thank you Jerry!! – B.B.
I called to schedule a consultation and the owner Bill was quite professional and very responsive. He suggested cost-friendly options without even being hired and even went as far as to suggest that I send him photos of any areas of concern prior to him coming out as to not have to incur any unnecessary cost/fees. He suggested trying a dehumidifier first to see if that solved my damp air concerns and that I follow-up with him is I had any other issues. A.M.
Very grateful for the interaction I had with this company. I initially called for a consult and estimate but they were so helpful over the phone before even coming out, had me send them pictures to their email of the areas of concern and reassured me there was, in fact, no mold problem in my home. Honest, kind, patient. Would recommend wholeheartedly. Hopefully I never need their services. But if i ever do, i won’t hesitate to call them back. A.F
Our Certified and Experienced Mold Inspectors Will Get Rid of Your Mold Problems
Once mold has fully infested an area, it releases mold spores into the air and those living or working in mold-affected areas breathe in those contaminants (Mycotoxins). Once in your respiratory system, the contaminants are absorbed into your bloodstream and can cause damage to your cells.
As a result, those exposed to mold contamination may experience upper respiratory symptoms like wheezing, coughing and sneezing, sinus congestion, and itchy, watery eyes.
Some studies even link exposure to toxic black mold to more serious issues, including lung disorders.
If you or someone in your household or office are experiencing any of these symptoms, and you suspect mold to be the culprit, it’s important to schedule certified mold inspection and remediation services right away to detect mold and prevent any further damage to your health. A professional mold inspector from our team will be able to help identify the problem and set your mind at ease with a mold remediation plan.

FAQs About Mold Inspection Services
What Causes Mold?
If you’ve noticed a musty smell in your home or office, there is a good chance that mold is present. Mold can grow almost anywhere, and its presence is closely linked with moisture and poor ventilation. If you notice any of the following common causes of mold in the home or office, call MSR Restoration for mold inspection services!
- High Humidity Areas. In places where the air humidity is naturally high, it’s easier for mold to grow and spread. Some types of mold can even grow if the humidity is below 55%, so it doesn’t have to be incredibly humid for mold to grow. Your HVAC system may also be at fault for humidity problems as it works to heat or cool the air in your home.
- Poor Ventilation. In high-moisture areas such as the kitchen and bathroom, it’s important to have strong ventilation systems that can quickly dry out the space. The laundry room should also have effective ventilation. If moisture is allowed to remain for 24-48 hours, that’s enough time for mold to grow.
- Improper Drainage. Gutters and downspouts that don’t effectively direct water away from the house or windows and doors that allow water to sit are common places where we see mold thriving.
- Leaks in Pipes and Roof. Any leakage in your home, especially those that are out of sight and concealed by the ceiling or walls, can cause water damage and eventually mold. It’s important to check these areas regularly for any signs of water or mold.
- Flooding. Basements and other areas that have suffered water damage or are naturally damp and humid are at high risk for mold growth. The mold that results from flooding can often be more of a health risk than other mold growth because some toxic mold requires more extreme conditions to grow.
What Are The Signs That You Need Mold Inspection Service?
- Foul Smell. If your home has musty damp smells, then there is likely a mold problem. Have a mold inspection done in your home right away.
- Infected Carpets. In your home, carpeted areas and rugs are prone to infestation by mold. Pay attention to these areas and check for any type of stain, odor, or spotting. If you find any spots or stains, check the padding and carpet from top to bottom for evidence of mold.
- Increase in Asthma and Allergies. Mold releases a harmful substance known as mycotoxin, which causes respiratory problems, including asthma and allergies. If you cough, sneeze have a runny nose, or feel fatigued, request mold inspection services for your home.
- Mildew on Furniture. In moist materials, mold and mildew fungus, and mold particles are likely to take hold and grow in permeable areas like foam padding on furniture. Inspect chairs and couches often for spots or discoloration.
- Constant Cough or Cold. Extended exposure to mold may increase respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and others. First, consult with the doctor. If you continue to suffer from a lingering cough and cold, request mold inspection services for your home.
How Long Does a Mold Inspection Take?
The time required for mold inspection services depends on the complexity of the mold infestation. Generally, inspectors spend sixty minutes in the home on average, although they may need to return for a follow-up inspection.
