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.

We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Honest company. They told us the mold patch was small enough to clean ourselves and even explained how.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Ipswich, MA homes
Mold Inspection in Ipswich tends to start the same way mold does across Essex 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 Rowley, Essex, Wenham and the rest of Ipswich call us.
We handle mold inspection for Ipswich 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 Boxford, about 15 minutes from our Boxford base, so we can usually reach a Ipswich home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
