How is a wall cavity air sample collected?

We drill a small hole (about the size of a pencil) into the wall or ceiling cavity and insert a sampling cassette to collect air from inside the enclosed space. The sample is sent to an accredited lab for analysis. The hole is easily patched afterward.

What happens if mold is found inside my walls?

If lab results confirm elevated mold levels inside wall cavities, we provide you with a detailed report and refer you to trusted remediation companies in the area who can safely remove the affected materials and treat the space. Early detection prevents the problem from spreading and becoming more costly.

Wall Cavity Air Sample

If you suspect mold but don't have symptoms and don't see it on surfaces, this sample gathers air from inside ceilings or walls where mold is not visible but still causing damage.

What to Expect

Hidden mold inside wall and ceiling cavities can cause significant structural damage and health problems long before it becomes visible. The Inspection Co provides wall cavity air sampling to detect mold growth behind walls, above ceilings, and in other enclosed spaces where moisture intrusion may have occurred. This service is ideal when you suspect mold due to past water damage, a musty odor, or a known leak, but cannot see any visible growth. Our inspector creates a small opening (about the size of a pencil) in the wall or ceiling and inserts a sampling cassette to collect air from the enclosed cavity. The sample is sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis. If mold is detected, our report details the types and concentrations found and we provide referrals to trusted remediation companies in your area. Early detection of hidden mold can save you thousands in repair costs and protect your family's health.
