A Greensboro mold inspection takes about an hour, and a good one covers the crawl space and the attic: moisture content at named locations in both, humidity against the living space, photographs, and an identified moisture source and season. Many local specialists don't charge for the inspection; ask when they call.
What the hour actually includes
- Crawl space entry: moisture content on joists and subfloor, vapor barrier and ground condition, evidence of water arriving versus condensing, duct and insulation condition
- Attic entry: sheathing condition and staining pattern, insulation moisture, bath fan terminations, soffit intake, and visible air leakage at the ceiling plane
- Humidity in three places: crawl, attic, and living space, read against the season
- Cold-surface check on exterior walls behind furniture and in closets, where winter condensation shows up indoors
- Moisture readings at wall bases and any suspect surface, recorded by location
- Exterior walk: grading, downspout discharge, and where red clay is routing surface water
- Written scope. Ask for the moisture source, season, work, an itemized price per line, and the timeline in writing
What you're not agreeing to
Nothing. Ask for the report in writing, and use it whether you hire the specialist, hire someone else, or fix the downspouts yourself and check back next season, and it's detailed enough to take to another company for a comparable bid. That matters: a report that survives a competitor's review is the only kind worth having, and in a state with no mold licensing it's also the best comparison tool you have.
