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 East Hemet-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.
Honest company. They told us the mold patch was small enough to clean ourselves and even explained how.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for East Hemet, CA homes

When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Ramona Bowl, Hemet, Valle Vista and the rest of East Hemet call us.
We handle mold inspection for East Hemet 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 Idyllwild, about 20 minutes from our Idyllwild base, so we can usually reach a East Hemet home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
