We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Wayland-area neighbors
Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
The inspector used a moisture meter and thermal camera to find hidden mold. Impressive and worth every dollar.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Wayland, MA homes
Mold Inspection in Wayland tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Cochituate, Weston, Sudbury and the rest of Wayland call us.
We handle mold inspection for Wayland the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Maynard, about 10 minutes from our Maynard base, so we can usually reach a Wayland home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
