Question 1

What is the difference between Express Air Testing and a Focused Inspection?

Accepted Answer

In Express Air Testing, you direct the sampling — you tell us where you want samples taken, and we collect and send them to the lab. You get the lab report only. No site investigation, no moisture survey, no recommendations. In a Focused Inspection, a certified inspector directs the work: we assess the defined area of concern, conduct a moisture survey, determine the appropriate sampling methodology, collect up to 3 samples, and provide a custom written report with findings and recommendations. If you want a professional opinion, not just lab numbers, the Focused Inspection is the right choice.

Question 2

Is mold testing covered by homeowner's insurance?

Accepted Answer

When mold testing is related to a covered water damage event — a burst pipe, appliance leak, storm intrusion — it is frequently covered under your homeowner's policy as part of the damage assessment. Contact your insurance adjuster before scheduling to confirm coverage. We provide documentation suitable for insurance claims.

Question 3

How long does an inspection take?

Accepted Answer

An Express Air Testing visit is typically 30–45 minutes. A Focused Inspection runs 45–75 minutes depending on the area of concern. A Full Property Investigation — covering all accessible areas with whole-property moisture survey — usually takes 90 minutes to 2.5 hours depending on property size and complexity.

Question 4

Do I need to be home during the inspection?

Accepted Answer

Yes — someone 18 or older with authority to authorize the inspection must be present. If you are a tenant, written permission from the property owner is required before we can begin.

Question 5

What happens if mold is found?

Accepted Answer

Your report will identify what was found, where, and at what levels — along with recommendations for next steps. If remediation is warranted, we refer you to trusted remediation contractors. We have no financial relationship with any of them. Our referral is based solely on their work quality.

Question 6

Why does it matter that you don't do remediation?

Accepted Answer

Most mold inspectors also sell remediation services. That creates a financial incentive to find a problem — the bigger the problem, the bigger the job. Lakepointe does not remediate. We get paid the same whether your home is clean or not. That is the only structure that produces a result you can actually trust.
