At Tiger Home Inspections, we believe you aren't just buying a home—you’re buying the air inside it. We provide data-driven assessments to ensure your High Country home is a healthy environment for your family.
Our Specialized Services
We go beyond visual inspections to provide professional sampling and laboratory analysis for two major indoor concerns:
1. Mold Testing & Analysis: Mold can begin to grow and shed spores within 24–48 hours of a water event. Our process identifies hidden growth that a simple walkthrough might miss.
Air & Surface Sampling: We collect air samples (typically one per 1,000 sq. ft.) and use swab or tape samples for any visible growth.
Laboratory Analysis: All samples are analyzed by a nationally accredited, certified testing laboratory to ensure the highest level of accuracy and legal defensibility.
Fast Turnaround: We provide quick, easy-to-read reports designed to meet tight real estate deadlines.
2. Indoor Air Particulate Testing: Breathe easier by knowing exactly what is in your air. Our particulate testing provides a microscopic look at the debris commonly found in mountain homes.
Comprehensive Screening: This test identifies mold spores, but also detects pollen, dust mites, skin cells, fiberglass fibers, and other common allergens.
All-in-One Reporting: Because particulate testing includes a full mold analysis, you receive a holistic view of your home’s air quality in a single, streamlined report.
When Should You Test?
Professional testing is highly recommended if you notice any of the following "Red Flags":
Recent Water Event: Recent leaks, floods, or heavy snowmelt intrusion.
Visible Growth: Velvety, slimy, or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or under sinks.
Musty Odors: Persistent "damp" or earthy smells, even if no mold is visible.
Physical Sensitivity: Increased allergies, headaches, or respiratory issues among occupants.
