is mold a problem in arizona?
Although the dry climate in Arizona is not as conducive to mold growth as in more humid climates, homes and building in Arizona are certainly not immune to mold issues. Sources of moisture such as plumbing leaks and exterior drainage issues are common potential factors leading to mold problems in Arizona homes and buildings.

A mold air test will identify and quantify mold spores present in the air. This method is useful in situations where visible mold may not be present, or simply if peace of mind is desired. This service is a great add-on to our general home inspection services which already include a visual mold check. Per industry standards, our mold air testing service includes three air samples that are taken on-site and sent to a nationally accredited laboratory for analysis. A detailed mold report is delivered in approximately 48 hours of performing the sampling.
