Inspection Services ...


No other company is better than Mold Pro at inspections! That's a bold statement. How can we make that claim? We can make that claim because we are not just made up of mold professionals. Mold Pro does not just limit itself to employees who are trained in the art of identifying water intrusion, or searching all "red flag areas" for mold, or gleaning valuable information from home owners and property managers. Mold Pro does something no other company does. Mold Pro employs dogs!
