Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Ledyard-area neighbors
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.
No more allergy symptoms since they cleaned the mold from our HVAC and bedroom walls.

Local knowledge
Mold Testing for Ledyard, CT homes
Mold Testing in Ledyard 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 Gales Ferry, Mashantucket, Old Mystic and the rest of Ledyard call us.
We handle mold testing for Ledyard 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 20 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, so we can usually reach a Ledyard home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
Ledyard specifics
What Mold Testing in Ledyard really involves
By the time a family calls us for Mold Testing, they have usually already seen symptoms that flare up indoors. For a home in this area, mold testing starts with finding the moisture, because the water is what feeds the mold. We handle Mold Testing for homes from New London to Waterford and the surrounding area the same careful way. Older and newer homes alike need Mold Testing, from the newer builds near New London to the oldest ones in town.
What sets Mold Testing apart is where it hides: the air and the surfaces in question, exactly where homeowners rarely look. Our crew has done Mold Testing across Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region enough to know how humid seasons moves through these homes. Around here, mold testing tends to settle into the air and the surfaces in question before anyone in the house notices it. A Ledyard home that needs Mold Testing almost always has a moisture story behind it, and it usually starts with roof and plumbing leaks in Ledyard homes.
A Mold Testing visit tends to run like this:
- Remove moldy material to the IICRC S520 standard
- Contain the space under negative air with HEPA filtration
- Recheck the space and document the work for your records
- HEPA vacuum, clean, and treat the surrounding surfaces
- Stop the water source so the problem does not come back
We are about 20 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, so mold testing often happens the same day you call.
Good to know
Mold Testing in Ledyard, CT: common questions
Do I need mold testing if I can already see mold?
If mold is visible with an obvious moisture source, testing usually isn't necessary before remediation. Testing is more useful for ambiguous cases or documentation needs.
What's the difference between air and surface samples?
Air samples measure spore concentration in the air, useful for smell without a visible source. Surface samples identify the species on a specific visible growth.
Is the lab independent from your company?
Yes, samples are sent to an independent laboratory for analysis, which keeps the results objective.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold testing?
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 Ledyard home.
How long does it take to get lab results?
Turnaround depends on the lab, but results are typically available within a few business days after samples are submitted.
Can testing be used for a landlord-tenant dispute?
Yes, documented lab results are often used to establish conditions in rental property disputes.
How soon can you start mold testing in Ledyard?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Ledyard home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Ledyard?
Yes. We cover all of Ledyard, including Gales Ferry, Mashantucket, Old Mystic, and the rest of the Ledyard area. We are based in Pawcatuck, about 20 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
