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.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Waterford-area neighbors
The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
The mold cleanup itself was great. The only hiccup was a reschedule due to weather.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Waterford, CT homes
Mold Inspection in Waterford tends to start the same way mold does across Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region: 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 Central Waterford, New London, Groton and the rest of Waterford call us.
We handle mold inspection for Waterford 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 25 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, so we can usually reach a Waterford home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
