Mold Testing & Inspection
FES is C14 State Certified for mold remediation. We offer free visual inspections that include moisture readings and thermo imaging — plus purchased air sampling and swab testing when lab confirmation is needed.
Overview
Not every mold concern requires a paid test. Start with a free visual inspection: our C14 State Certified inspectors use moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate hidden moisture and potential microbial growth. If visible mold is present, we can collect a swab sample for lab analysis. For non-visible concerns, air sampling detects airborne microbial issues behind walls and in HVAC systems. You get a clear report with findings, photos, and honest recommendations — never sales pressure.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about mold testing & inspection for Franklin and Middle Tennessee homeowners.
How does mold testing work with Franklin Environmental Services?
We start with a free visual inspection that includes moisture readings and thermal imaging. When lab confirmation is needed, we collect air or swab samples and provide written results. Call (615) 364-8354 to schedule in Franklin and Middle Tennessee.
Do I need mold testing if I only smell something musty?
A musty odor is a common reason to inspect. Smell alone does not prove mold type or level — a visual inspection plus moisture readings shows where water is feeding the problem, and lab sampling can confirm when needed.
How do I know if I have a mold problem?
Common indicators include musty smells, visible discoloration on walls, ceilings, or in the crawlspace, ongoing allergy or respiratory symptoms, and any history of leaks or moisture intrusion. A professional inspection with air or surface sampling is the only way to know for certain.
How much does mold testing cost?
A swab sample is $150, and air sampling usually costs $450.
