Unbiased Mold Inspections & Testing in the Lehigh Valley
Do you really want to rely on a mold remediation company to tell you whether you have a mold problem? Wouldn't it be better to have the inspection and test performed by professional, certified third-party company - one with no ulterior motives or conflicting affiliations?
If you go the car mechanic, he might say you need $900 worth of repairs. If you go to the insurance agent, she may tell you to upgrade to the Cadillac policy with the eye-popping monthly premiums. The mold remediation company that both tests for mold and remediates mold may be inclined to tell you to get their mold remediation services. No surprise there.
You may or may not have a mold problem. You may or may not need mold remediation. You don’t know yet. All you know is that for your safety and your family's safety you need to find out the truth, and only want to pay for services that will help remedy the problem and give you peace of mind. In general, a mold remediation company cannot or will not pinpoint the exact cause(s) of the mold.

Why Is Mold in Your Home a Problem?
Molds are fungi that live both indoors and outdoors. They thrive in warm, damp, and humid environments, and reproduce and spread by producing spores. The number of mold species is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, or possibly in the hundreds of thousands.
Mold in a home affects people in different ways. Typical symptoms of exposure include nasal stuffiness, eye and skin irritation, and wheezing. Some people develop more-serious symptoms, including fever and shortness of breath.
There are many ways to reduce the chances of having mold-related incidences in your home, including keeping humidity levels between 40%-60% (according the the Center for Disease Control) and making sure the home has adequate ventilation.

Why Choose Trinity Inspection for a Mold Inspection?
I’m a master home inspector, not a mold remediation company. Whether I give you bad news or good news, I don’t make a dime more.
I’m also a licensed contractor. I can tell you definitely why you got mold in the first place, and point you toward a long-term solution. The root of the problem isn't always obvious. I can tell you how to address the root of the problem, so you can deal with the mold once and for all and not have it rear its ugly head again later.
When you’re used to inspecting the entire home - and hundreds of homes every year, as I do - you see many different types of problems. That means, for one thing, that I don’t have tunnel-vision. Not every problem is mold. Even when it is, sometimes the solution is easy and inexpensive. I can tell you if something else has likely caused what one might have assumed is mold.
I send my findings to a certified lab. Without doing that, there is no way to tell whether what you see is potentially dangerous or harmless, because there are thousands of species of mold.
By the way, I often perform mold testing in many of my home inspections. I’m used to inspecting for mold on a daily basis. The job of any good home inspector is to look for anything that does not appear right with the home, and that can include mold.
I describe my mold inspection and testing service here because you may not need a full home inspection, but still want an unbiased professional opinion strictly on mold. That is why I offer mold inspections as a standalone service.
Above all, probably the best reason to choose Trinity Inspection is our track record of painstaking thoroughness and professionalism. That’s what our home inspection clients love about working with us. Please take a minute to check out their reviews of us. (You can just type “Trinity Inspection PA” into Google.)
We serve homeowners from the Lehigh Valley to the Poconos, including many in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, PA. We cover many areas of New Jersey, too.
