Residential Mold Inspection in NYC
Living in New York City offers energy, convenience, and culture—but it also means aging buildings, limited ventilation, and potential water leaks that often go unnoticed. If you own or rent a home in the city, mold can become a serious health concern if left untreated.
At Mold Testing New York City, we specialize in residential mold inspections across all five boroughs. Whether you’re living in a brownstone in Brooklyn, a high-rise in Manhattan, or a multifamily home in Queens, our certified mold assessors provide precise, non-invasive inspections to identify potential risks and give you peace of mind.

Why Residential Mold Inspections Are Critical in NYC
NYC’s dense housing, shared HVAC systems, and history of water damage make it especially vulnerable to hidden mold growth. Many homes—especially apartments in older buildings—develop moisture problems due to leaky pipes, poorly sealed windows, or HVAC condensation.
Mold in the home can lead to serious problems including:
-
Aggravated asthma or allergies
-
Chronic sinus and respiratory issues
-
Fatigue, dizziness, or skin irritation
-
Legal disputes between tenants and landlords
-
Long-term structural damage
Early detection is key. That’s why our residential mold inspections are designed to be fast, non-destructive, and completely objective. We don’t remediate, so our findings are unbiased and focused on getting you real answers.

We work with a wide range of residential clients across NYC, including:
-

Our Mold Testing Process
-
Initial Consultation & Walkthrough
We begin by asking about health symptoms, musty odors, or water damage concerns. Our team then performs a visual inspection to identify signs of mold or elevated moisture.
-
Air and Surface Sampling
Using professional-grade air pumps and sampling cassettes, we test for airborne spores in multiple rooms. If mold is visible, we collect swab or tape samples for precise analysis.
-
Moisture & Humidity Assessment
Moisture meters and thermal imaging help us locate potential leaks or high humidity in hidden areas—behind drywall, under flooring, or near HVAC units.
-
Certified Lab Testing
All samples are sent to an accredited third-party laboratory. You’ll receive a full report with mold species, spore counts, health risks, and remediation guidance (if needed).
-
Detailed Inspection Report
You receive a comprehensive report with photo documentation, lab results, moisture readings, and expert recommendations.
Signs You Might Need a Mold Inspection
-
Musty or earthy odor in the home
-
Visible mold around windows, baseboards, or ceilings
-
Recent plumbing leaks or flooding
-
Persistent coughs, allergies, or sinus infections
-
Condensation on windows or vents
-
Water stains or warping on walls/floors
Even if mold is not visible, airborne spores could be circulating in your home.
