The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
Second time using them for a different property. Same great mold removal service both times.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Shrewsbury, MA homes
Mold Inspection in Shrewsbury tends to start the same way mold does across Worcester 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 Hamilton Worcester, Northborough, Sunderland and the rest of Shrewsbury call us.
We handle mold inspection for Shrewsbury 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 West Boylston, about 10 minutes from our West Boylston base, so we can usually reach a Shrewsbury home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Do I need visible mold to get an inspection?
No, many inspections happen because of a musty smell, past water damage, or just wanting a clear picture before a renovation or home purchase.

It depends on the size of the home, but most residential inspections take a couple of hours to cover the high-risk areas thoroughly.
Can an inspection help with a real estate transaction?
Yes, documented findings from an inspection can support decisions during a home purchase or sale where mold history is a concern.
