If you suspect mold in your Utah home or business, don’t guess—get it tested. Mold can hide behind walls, under floors, and in HVAC systems, often without visible signs. A professional mold inspection can uncover the source, severity, and solution before damage or health risks escalate.
Here’s exactly what to expect when you schedule a mold inspection with Utah Mitigation.
Why Mold Inspections Matter in Utah
Utah’s varied climate—from dry desert air in St. George to wet, snowy winters in the Wasatch Front—creates ideal conditions for hidden mold. Leaky basements, poor ventilation, and storm-related water intrusion are just a few triggers.
Whether you’re buying a home, remodeling, or responding to strange odors or allergy-like symptoms, a mold inspection offers peace of mind and a clear path forward.
Step 1: Visual Assessment
Every inspection begins with a full visual walk-through of the property. We look for:
- Water stains or discoloration
- Peeling paint or warped materials
- Musty odors
- Evidence of leaks or water damage
We check attics, basements, crawl spaces, behind baseboards, and around plumbing fixtures—anywhere moisture could be lurking.
Step 2: Moisture and Humidity Testing
Using moisture meters and hygrometers, our team measures:
- Moisture levels in walls, floors, and ceilings
- Relative humidity in each room
- Surface temperature differentials that might indicate condensation points
These tools help pinpoint problem zones that aren’t always visible to the eye.
Step 3: Air and Surface Sampling (If Needed)
If we detect mold or have reason to suspect hidden growth, we may recommend professional sampling:
- Air Sampling – Captures airborne spores to identify types and concentrations
- Surface Sampling – Tests visible growth for mold species
- Wall Cavity Testing – Uses borescopes or drilled sample ports if needed
All samples are sent to a certified lab, and results are typically returned within 2–3 business days.
Step 4: Detailed Report and Action Plan
After the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive report that includes:
- Inspection findings
- Moisture readings
- Photos of problem areas
- Lab results (if samples were taken)
- Recommended remediation steps
If mold is confirmed, we’ll provide a customized quote and timeline for full remediation.
How Long Does a Mold Inspection Take?
Most residential mold inspections in Utah take 1–2 hours, depending on property size and accessibility. Larger or multi-structure inspections may take longer.
