What’s included
Mold testing a house
you do not own yet
- Air sampling in the areas of concern, plus an outdoor control sample
- Surface sampling on anything visible, $75–$125 per sample
- Moisture readings, which show whether the problem is old and fixed or live
Species identification comes from an independent lab, not from an opinion formed during a walkthrough.
Local stock
What mold problems do
older St. Louis homes show?
Stone-walled and unsealed basements are the norm in the historic stock. Pre-war brick, four-flats, and shotgun homes often hold decades of dampness behind finished walls.
Newer subdivisions are not exempt. Finished basements used as living space are the most common place we find growth a walkthrough missed.
The leverage
What a pre-purchase mold
report does in negotiation
You get the sample results, what was found, and what remediation would actually involve.
That is a document you can hand to the seller’s agent, with a scope and a number attached rather than a description of an odor.
The other outcome
What if the pre-purchase
mold test is clean?
Plenty of pre-purchase inspections come back fine. We would rather tell you that than sell you a remediation you do not need.
A full inspection runs $375–$550. If it does turn up active growth, mold remediation is the next step.
