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.
Our home inspection flagged mold. These folks remediated it and gave us the clearance letter we needed to close.

Mold Inspection for Stonington, CT homes
Mold Inspection in Stonington tends to start the same way mold does across Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region: crawl spaces and sump pumps around Stonington that struggle to keep up during wet spells. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Mystic, Noank, Old Mystic and the rest of Stonington call us.
We handle mold inspection for Stonington 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 Pawcatuck, about 10 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, so we can usually reach a Stonington home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Mold Inspection in Stonington: what actually causes it
By the time a family calls us for Mold Inspection, they have usually already seen a damp, earthy smell you cannot place. 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. We keep Mold Inspection contained and tidy, so the rest of the home near Groton Long Point stays livable while we work. The reason Mold Inspection comes up so often here is simple: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls, working on local homes month after month.
Most Mold Inspection jobs in the area trace back to plumbing leaks and poor ventilation, a pattern we see week after week. A Stonington home that needs Mold Inspection almost always has a moisture story behind it, and it usually starts with humid seasons.

Mold Inspection is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners around Stonington.
A Mold Inspection visit tends to run like this:
- Explain the likely cause in plain words, not jargon
- Photograph and map what we find, room by room
- Check the usual sources: roof, plumbing, grading, and ventilation
- Lay out a clear scope for what removal would involve
- Use moisture meters to find damp materials behind the surface
We are about 10 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, so mold inspection often happens the same day you call.
Good to know
Mold Inspection in Stonington, CT: common questions
Do I need visible mold to get an inspection?
No, many inspections happen because of a musty smell, past water damage, or just wanting a clear picture before a renovation or home purchase.
What's the difference between an inspection and testing?
An inspection is a visual and moisture-based assessment. Testing involves collecting samples for lab analysis, which we offer as a separate or add-on service.
What happens if the inspection finds mold?
We'll explain what we found and what remediation would involve, so you can decide how to move forward with clear information.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold inspection?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Stonington home.
How long does a mold inspection take?
It depends on the size of the home, but most residential inspections take a couple of hours to cover the high-risk areas thoroughly.
Can an inspection help with a real estate transaction?
Yes, documented findings from an inspection can support decisions during a home purchase or sale where mold history is a concern.

Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region.
