We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Laguna Hills-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Great communication from start to finish. The mold report helped a lot with our insurance claim.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Laguna Hills, CA homes
Mold Inspection in Laguna Hills tends to start the same way mold does across Orange County: plumbing leaks and poor ventilation that let damp air linger and mold spread. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Laguna Woods, Mission Viejo, Lake Forest and the rest of Laguna Hills call us.
We handle mold inspection for Laguna Hills 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 Corona Del Mar, about 15 minutes from our Corona Del Mar base, so we can usually reach a Laguna Hills home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

We keep Mold Inspection contained and tidy, so the rest of the home near Tustin stays livable while we work.
Our crew has done Mold Inspection across Orange County enough to know how air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls moves through these homes.

Older and newer homes alike need Mold Inspection, from the newer builds near Mission Viejo to the oldest ones in town. If you have noticed a damp, earthy smell you cannot place in your home, mold inspection is worth a call before the damp reaches the framing.

- Explain the likely cause in plain words, not jargon
- Use moisture meters to find damp materials behind the surface
- Check the usual sources: roof, plumbing, grading, and ventilation
- Walk the home and note every spot that shows or smells like mold
- Lay out a clear scope for what removal would involve

Yes, documented findings from an inspection can support decisions during a home purchase or sale where mold history is a concern.
