When it comes to your home, peace of mind matters. At Pinewood Inspections, we know that hidden issues like mold and poor air quality can affect more than just your property—they can impact your family’s health and safety. That’s why we offer professional Air Quality & Mold Testing services designed to give you clear answers and actionable solutions.
Why Homeowners Call Us
There are many reasons people reach out for mold and air testing:
- After a water event such as a flood, roof leak, or plumbing issue, to ensure everything dried out properly.
- When experiencing unexplained or recurring health issues like sinus problems, headaches, or asthma flare-ups.
- If visible mold has appeared and you’re unsure of the type, extent, or next steps.
Unfortunately, Georgia’s climate makes mold problems all too common. Our high humidity and heavy rainfall put us among the top 10 states at risk for mold growth.
Mold is an issue homeowners should never ignore. Left unchecked, mold can damage your home and lead to costly remediation averaging over $2,300. Addressing potential mold growth early is far more effective—and affordable.

How It Works
- Mold Inspection
We start with a visual inspection, backed by professional tools:
- Moisture meters to detect hidden leaks.
- Humidity meters to measure indoor air quality.
- Infrared thermography to identify moisture problems behind walls or floors.
We never tear into walls or flooring unless you specifically request it (and for an additional charge). Our approach is thorough but non-invasive, and all areas of concern are documented with photos.
- Air Sampling
Air samples are collected with a specialized cyclonic collector that traps spores onto a canister. First, we take an outdoor control sample—this is critical because every home will have some mold spores, but the concern is when indoor levels are elevated above outdoor levels.
Each indoor sample covers roughly 1,000 sq. ft. Open layouts may require fewer tests, while homes with multiple rooms or problem areas may need more for accurate results. Note: Rain can skew test results, so we reschedule if it has rained within 4 hours of your appointment.
- Surface (Swab) Sampling
If you have visible mold, a swab test can determine the specific type of mold present. This is especially useful for spotting dangerous molds, like stachybotrys. While swabs won’t measure airborne exposure, they give a clear picture of what’s growing on surfaces.
Why Testing Matters Before Remediation
Mold testing provides a roadmap for remediation. For example, you might have visible mold on a surface (confirmed by swab) but no elevated spores in the air—meaning the issue is localized. Or, testing may reveal hidden airborne mold you didn’t realize was present. This information helps remediation professionals target the right areas, saving you unnecessary expense.
