How long does an inspection take?
A standard mold inspection takes 1-2 hours depending on the size of the property. Comprehensive inspections including asbestos and lead testing may take 2-4 hours. We'll provide a time estimate when you schedule.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
While it's not required, we recommend being present so our inspector can discuss findings with you directly, answer questions, and point out any areas of concern. If you can't be there, we can arrange access with a lockbox or through your realtor.
What certifications do your inspectors have?
Our inspectors are certified by the American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC), EPA Lead-Safe Certified, AHERA Asbestos Inspector certified, and licensed in Louisiana.
Do you provide remediation services?
No. We are strictly an inspection and testing company. This ensures our assessments are completely unbiased - we have no financial incentive to find problems. We can recommend trusted remediation companies after your inspection.
How much does a mold inspection cost in New Orleans / Louisiana?
InspectaMold mold inspection pricing in Southeast Louisiana starts at $299 for a Basic Mold Inspection. The Standard Mold Assessment is $495 and includes 2 lab-analysed air samples, an Advanced IAQ Assessment starts at $799, and a Virtual Mold Inspection is $169. Starting prices scale with square footage and the number of AC systems, so your exact price is confirmed before you book.
How much does mold testing cost — per sample?
Mold testing added to an inspection is priced per sample: an additional air sample is $95 and an additional surface sample is $75, each analysed by the laboratory. The Standard Mold Assessment at $495 already includes 2 lab-analysed air samples, so many homes need no add-on samples at all.
What does the $495 Standard Mold Assessment include vs the $299 Basic?
The Basic Mold Inspection, starting at $299, is a visual inspection with moisture assessment and no lab samples included. The Standard Mold Assessment, at $495, is a full inspection with moisture mapping and thermal imaging and includes 2 lab-analysed air samples with laboratory analysis and a detailed photo report. Starting prices scale with square footage and the number of AC systems.
Does price change with home size or number of AC systems?
Yes. InspectaMold's starting prices — Basic from $299 and Advanced from $799 — scale with the square footage of the property and the number of AC systems it has, because both change the time on site and the areas that must be assessed. Your exact price is confirmed before you book, so there are no surprises on the day.
Is a virtual mold inspection legit, and what does the $169 one cover?
Yes. The $169 Virtual Mold Inspection is a live 30-minute video consultation with an InspectaMold inspector: a real-time guided walkthrough of the areas you are concerned about, photo and video review, professional recommendations, and a written summary report. It is an initial professional evaluation — it does not include laboratory samples, which require an on-site visit.

What does the inspection actually include, step by step?
A mold inspection follows four steps. 1) Walkthrough and interview: we review your concerns, history of leaks, and problem areas. 2) Moisture and thermal survey: we map moisture and temperature anomalies behind finishes. 3) Visual assessment: we document visible growth, staining, and conducive conditions, taking samples where testing is included. 4) Report and next steps: you receive a clear report with severity and recommendations within 24 hours.
Do I need to be home? How do I prepare?
You do not need to be home, but being present lets the inspector discuss findings with you directly; if you cannot be there, access can be arranged with a lockbox or through your realtor. To prepare, make sure the inspector can reach the areas of concern — under sinks, around AC systems, and attic or crawlspace access points where they exist.
What does the report look like / can it be used with a lender, insurer, or court?
Your report documents the property, the visual inspection findings with photos, laboratory analysis results where samples were taken, an interpretation of the findings in plain language, and clear recommendations and next steps. InspectaMold's reports meet industry standards and are accepted by lenders, insurance companies, and real estate attorneys — if a transaction or claim has specific documentation requirements, let us know in advance.
