Certified Residential Testing for Mold and Asbestos

Certified Residential Testing for Mold and Asbestos – Peace of Mind for Homeowners

When it comes to your home, safety is non-negotiable. Two hidden threats that often go unnoticed in residential properties are mold and asbestos—both of which can significantly impact your health and home value if left undetected. Whether you're purchasing a new home, renovating, or simply ensuring your current space is safe, certified residential mold & asbestos testing is a crucial step in protecting what matters most.

At Quest Mold and Asbestos Inspections and Testing Corp, we specialize in independent, non-biased testing services designed specifically for homeowners. With no ties to remediation, our only goal is to provide accurate information and peace of mind.

Why Residential Mold and Asbestos Testing Matters

Your home should be a safe haven, but invisible hazards like mold and asbestos can make it a dangerous environment. Exposure to either can cause serious health problems, especially for children, elderly individuals, or those with respiratory issues.

Mold Risks:

Mold spores are airborne and can spread rapidly in damp or poorly ventilated areas. Common health symptoms include:

Allergies and asthma flare-ups
Chronic coughing and sneezing
Skin irritation
Headaches and fatigue

Asbestos Risks:

Asbestos is a fibrous material found in older homes, especially in insulation, flooring, ceilings, and ductwork. When disturbed, it releases microscopic fibers into the air that can cause:

Lung scarring (asbestosis)
Mesothelioma
Lung cancer
Other respiratory diseases

Because both hazards are not always visible, professional testing is the only way to confirm their presence.

Where Mold and Asbestos Lurk in the Home

Mold tends to grow in damp, dark, or poorly ventilated areas such as:

Basements
Bathrooms
Behind drywall or under flooring
HVAC systems
Around leaky pipes and windows

Asbestos may be hidden in older homes built before the 1980s and is commonly found in:

Popcorn ceilings
Vinyl floor tiles and adhesives
Boiler and pipe insulation
Roofing and siding materials
HVAC duct insulation

A full inspection by certified professionals can help you locate these risks and determine next steps.
