Thorough and Unbiased Mold Inspections in Coastal California – Trusted by Homeowners & Realtors
When it comes to mold inspection services in Orange County and the coastal areas of Los Angeles, Golden State Mold Inspections stands as the trusted authority. Our focus is strictly on inspection and mold testing. We do not perform mold remediation. That means our reports are unbiased, professional, and backed by over a decade of experience in the Southern California region. Whether you’re a homeowner, buyer, or business owner, we provide detailed assessments that help you make informed decisions without a conflict of interest.
Why Mold Inspections Are Essential in Coastal California
Mold thrives in moisture-rich environments, making beach cities especially vulnerable. Areas like Santa Monica, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Newport Beach experience elevated humidity, roof leaks, crawlspace dampness, and pipe or flood-related water damage all of which can lead to mold problems.
The effects of mold exposure can include asthma, aggravated allergies, and reduced indoor air quality. Mold may grow behind drywall, in attics, or beneath carpet and flooring, creating hidden health hazards. A professional mold inspection helps identify these threats early.
Our Mold Inspection Services
Golden State Mold Inspections offers a full range of inspection services to both residential and commercial clients, without offering mold cleanup or removal. Our services include:
Full Mold Inspections
Our licensed mold inspectors thoroughly assess your house or commercial property using tools like thermal cameras, moisture meters, and borescopes. We identify areas with enough moisture to allow mold to thrive, then conduct sampling and visual inspection to look for evidence of mold. Lab results will determine if mold spores are present and at what levels.
Partial Mold Inspections
Only worried about one room or a specific leak? We offer partial mold inspections, ideal for investigating wet basements, roof corners, or other target areas without needing to inspect the entire property.
Mold Testing and Sampling
We offer mold testing and inspection using surface samples and air samples, which are sent to certified labs for analysis. These results help certify whether mold is present and what type it is—black mold, toxic mold, or common household fungi. Test for mold before jumping to remediation.
Scope of Work Development
If mold is confirmed, we provide a clear, unbiased protocol or scope of work that a contractor can follow. This ensures you only pay for the remediation services you need, based on facts and certified lab data—not sales tactics.
Asbestos and Environmental Testing
In older homes, mold inspections may uncover materials that require asbestos testing. We can include environmental and industrial air quality testing for safer living and working spaces.

When to Hire a Mold Inspector
You should hire mold inspection and testing services if:

- You see visible staining or mold spots
- You’ve had recent flood, leak, or roof damage
- Your HVAC system or crawlspace shows signs of excess moisture

A professional assessment helps you determine whether remediation is necessary—and if so, how to solve the issue efficiently.
