Why Inspect Before You Treat?
Many property owners in Bali attempt to clean visible mold with bleach or surface sprays — only to find it returns within weeks. The reason is almost always the same: they treated the symptom, not the cause. A professional mold inspection identifies the moisture source, the mold species present, and the true extent of contamination, including hidden mold inside walls, under floors, and above ceilings that is invisible to the naked eye.
Without an accurate inspection, remediation is guesswork. With one, every step of the removal process is targeted, efficient and lasting. Our mold inspection report also serves as documentation for landlords, property managers, villa owners, and insurance purposes.
What Our Mold Inspection Includes
Visual survey of all accessible areas
Our inspector examines every room, including bathrooms, kitchens, storage areas, roof spaces, under-stair cavities, and other moisture-prone zones. We check behind furniture, inside cupboards, and around plumbing fixtures — the places mold hides most effectively in Bali's tropical climate.
Moisture mapping with professional meters
Using calibrated moisture meters, we measure moisture levels in walls, floors, and ceilings. Elevated readings reveal hidden damp that hasn't yet produced visible mold but will soon. This allows us to address moisture problems before they escalate into full contamination.
Mold species identification
Different mold types require different treatments. Black mold (Stachybotrys), Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium and Fusarium each present differently and carry different health risks. We identify what's present so the right treatment is applied at the right concentration.
Written inspection report and remediation plan
You receive a clear written report detailing findings, affected areas with measurements, mold types identified, moisture readings, the source of dampness, and a recommended treatment plan with cost estimate. The inspection fee is credited in full toward any treatment you book with us.
When Do You Need a Mold Inspection?
