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 5 by Cherry Valley-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.
Our crawl space mold was worse than we thought. They handled the full remediation and installed a vapor barrier too.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Cherry Valley, CA homes
Mold Inspection in Cherry Valley tends to start the same way mold does across Riverside County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Nicklin, Beaumont, Calimesa Mobile Home Ranch and the rest of Cherry Valley call us.
We handle mold inspection for Cherry Valley 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 Calimesa, about 10 minutes from our Calimesa base, so we can usually reach a Cherry Valley home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Mold Inspection in Cherry Valley, CA: 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.
Do I need to leave my Cherry Valley home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Cherry Valley home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
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.
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 Cherry Valley home.

Yes. We cover all of Cherry Valley, including Nicklin, Beaumont, Calimesa Mobile Home Ranch, and the rest of the Cherry Valley area. We are based in Calimesa, about 10 minutes from our Calimesa base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
