Discovering mold or suspecting hidden contamination raises urgent questions about your family’s health and property safety. Relief Remediation provides comprehensive mold inspection and testing in Marietta, GA with PMII-certified specialists who identify mold types, locate contamination sources, and develop effective remediation plans.
Our certified inspectors serve homes and businesses throughout Marietta including East Cobb, Historic Marietta Square, Windsor Oaks, and Indian Hills. We understand that Georgia’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for mold growth, making professional inspection essential for accurate assessment.
Mold grows wherever moisture and organic materials exist. Georgia’s high humidity means most Marietta properties have some mold spores present. The critical questions are: What types of mold exist? Where is contamination occurring? What’s causing mold growth?
Professional inspection provides:
Attempting DIY assessment often misses hidden contamination and fails to identify moisture sources, resulting in recurring mold problems.
Our PMII-certified inspectors discuss your concerns and conduct thorough examination of interior and exterior areas including bathrooms, basements, attics, crawl spaces, HVAC systems, and areas around plumbing fixtures. We identify visible contamination and conditions supporting mold growth.
Mold grows where moisture exists. We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters locating water problems causing contamination. Our moisture detection and removal technology reveals hidden moisture supporting mold growth.
We collect air samples from multiple rooms measuring airborne spore concentrations, plus an outdoor control sample for comparison. When visible mold exists, we collect surface samples using tape lifts, swabs, or bulk material samples for species identification.
Certified laboratories analyze samples identifying specific mold species, spore concentrations, and contamination severity levels. Results typically return within 3-5 business days.
We provide detailed reports including complete inspection findings, laboratory results with interpretation, moisture readings, thermal images, remediation recommendations addressing root causes, and cost estimates for remediation work.
Black Mold (Stachybotrys chartarum): The most concerning mold species, producing mycotoxins affecting health. Appears dark greenish-black on water-damaged materials like drywall and wood. Our black mold removal services handle this dangerous contamination safely.
Aspergillus: Common indoor mold appearing in various colors. Some species produce allergens and toxins. Found on dust, fabrics, and building materials.
Penicillium: Blue or green mold commonly found on water-damaged materials, wallpaper, and insulation. Known for producing musty odors.
Cladosporium: Olive-green to brown mold growing on damp materials, fabrics, and HVAC systems. One of the most common indoor molds.
Alternaria: Dark brown or black mold found in damp areas like showers, basements, and around leaks. Common cause of allergic reactions.
Laboratory testing identifies specific species present, guiding appropriate remediation approaches.
Visible Mold Growth: When you see mold, testing identifies species and determines contamination extent including hidden growth.
Musty Odors: Persistent musty smells indicate hidden mold growth. Inspection locates sources producing odors.
After Water Damage: Water damage creates perfect conditions for mold. Inspection after floods, leaks, or water intrusion confirms whether mold developed.
Health Symptoms: Respiratory issues, allergies, headaches, and other symptoms worsening at home suggest possible mold exposure. Testing identifies contamination.
Real Estate Transactions: Buyers want mold inspection before purchase. Sellers benefit from inspections addressing problems before listing.
Post-Remediation Verification: After mold removal by any company, independent testing verifies successful remediation and confirms safe indoor air quality. Our air quality testing provides clearance documentation.
HVAC Concerns: Musty odors from air vents, visible growth in systems, or condensation problems warrant inspection.
Chronic Moisture Problems: Properties with ongoing moisture issues, high humidity, or poor ventilation benefit from regular mold inspection.
Basement Mold Inspection: Basements throughout Marietta are vulnerable to moisture intrusion and mold growth. Our inspection includes foundation assessment, moisture detection, and contamination testing.
Attic Mold Inspection: Our attic mold removal expertise includes thorough inspection identifying roof leaks, ventilation problems, and insulation contamination.
Crawl Space Mold Inspection: Many Marietta homes have crawl spaces where moisture accumulates unnoticed. We inspect these areas thoroughly, testing for contamination affecting entire homes. Our crawl space mold remediation services address these vulnerable spaces.
Bathroom and Kitchen Inspection: High-moisture areas prone to mold growth require careful assessment of ventilation, hidden leaks, and existing contamination.
HVAC System Inspection: Air handling systems spread mold spores throughout properties. We inspect all components identifying contamination requiring cleaning or replacement.

Cost varies based on property size, sample quantity, and testing scope. Basic inspections with air sampling typically range from several hundred dollars. We provide specific quotes based on your needs.
Typical inspections require 2-3 hours depending on property size. Laboratory analysis takes 3-5 business days. Complete reports are usually provided within one week.
DIY kits lack accuracy and professional interpretation. They often show mold presence without identifying species, contamination levels, or root causes. Professional inspection provides actionable information DIY testing cannot.
Air samples capture spores from multiple indoor locations plus outdoor baseline. Laboratory analysis identifies species and concentrations. Results compare indoor levels to outdoor baselines and industry standards.
Professional inspection identifies visible contamination and uses air sampling detecting hidden growth. However, mold behind sealed walls or inaccessible areas may not be discovered without invasive inspection.
No. Inspection doesn’t disturb mold significantly and doesn’t require evacuation. However, we recommend individuals with severe mold sensitivity consider temporary absence.
Visual identification isn’t definitive. Laboratory analysis of samples positively identifies Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold). Appearance alone doesn’t confirm species.
Yes. Our inspection includes moisture detection and assessment identifying water sources supporting mold growth. Addressing root causes prevents recurrence.
We provide detailed remediation recommendations and cost estimates. Our certified team can perform removal, or you can use our report with any qualified contractor.
Annual inspection benefits properties with history of moisture problems or vulnerable areas. Otherwise, inspection when purchasing property, after water damage, or when mold is suspected.
