Phoenix Arizona Mold Inspection | Phoenix Arizona Mold Testing
Welcome to the home of the largest mold inspection only company in the nation; Phoenix Mold Inspection & Testing. Offering air and surface sample collection to determine the presence and source of indoor mold growth. When hired before a mold removal, the report we provide offers a detailed protocol for what needs to be done to remedy a situation. At the very least we should be used after an Arizona mold remediation company is hired to perform a clearance test. This will ensure the company you hired carried out all the necessary steps and have in fact brought you air quality back to normal levels.
If this is the first time that you have heard or dealt with the possibility that mold is negatively impacting your home or business; you are not alone. Dealing with indoor air quality symptoms from mold like feeling sick, strange smells, or odd sights is unfamiliar territory for most people. Questions that you have are similar or the same to many we have answered in the past. Our certified inspectors have performed numerous inspections on properties with situations just like yours. We are here to help and are happy to answer any questions that you may have prior, during, or after an appointment is made.

Jordan Orta
Professional Background:
I bring six years of experience in the water and mold remediation industry and four years in the roofing industry — two fields that give me an inside understanding of how water gets into a building and what it takes to fix the damage properly. I hold a Contractor license (CR 61) and IICRC certifications in Applied Structural Drying (ASD), Water Damage Restoration (WRT), and Applied Microbial Remediation (AMRT), along with an associate's degree in applied science.
Major Metro Served:
I serve the greater Phoenix metro area, and what I like most about Phoenix is the sunsets and the people, who are typically pretty awesome. A lot of people assume our dry desert climate means mold isn't an issue here, but that's not the case — monsoon storms, roof and plumbing leaks, evaporative coolers, and AC condensation can all create hidden moisture problems. Because Valley homes aren't built with constant dampness in mind, those issues often go unnoticed until they've grown, so knowing where moisture hides here is a big part of what I do.
Motivation:
What I like most about being a mold inspector is helping people whose living situations are affecting their health. Identifying a potential mold issue is often the first step toward getting them into a healthier, safer environment, and that makes the work genuinely meaningful.
Success Story:
I responded to an apartment where the tenants were having health issues and didn't know why. During the inspection — with the help of my infrared camera — I discovered water underneath the flooring and a slow leak from a pipe in the wall. The leak had caused substantial mold growth that was being introduced into the air. The tenants were moved out of the hazardous environment, the mold was removed, and their symptoms improved significantly. It may not seem like much, but inspections like these are the most fulfilling to me.
Why Choose MI&T Phoenix?
Because of my background in the restoration and roofing industries, I have hands-on experience removing and treating mold damage as well as inspecting for it. That matters because improperly treating or remediating water or mold damage can be tricky — and can even make the problem worse — so having that knowledge on your side can be crucial to getting the inspection, and the fix, right.

Mold Inspection & Testing Phoenix
For anyone trying to minimize the costs of a mold remediation, mold testing Phoenix is offers just that. It may even be possible that the symptoms you are experiencing could be due to something other than mold. A mold test can also determine that the mold you see is non-toxic that you could clean by yourself. If you bring in an individual affiliated with a mold removal company, it is possible that they might not be truthful about the two situations listed above. Of course there are mold remediation companies that do operate ethically, but why would you put yourself in that situation if there is a better option out there. MI&T offers that option and can also minimize costs by specifying the exact area that needs work done. The smaller the area that needs to be contained, the smaller the bill will be.There are 2 different types of mold tests that we offer. Air samples are taken with spore traps and an air pump. These are used to take samples of air from general areas or cavities behind walls. The air samples collected inside a residence or business will be compared to an outside sample that serves as a baseline. Having a control makes our report legally binding and normal levels of mold exist in every indoor environment. Seeing what is normal for your area allows us to prove that there is indeed issues that need to be dealt with. Surface swabs or tape lifts are used when visible mold growth is present. Some species of mold are not easily airborne including the dreaded black toxic mold. That is why collecting these swabs is highly recommended as well.
Breathing in elevated levels of mold on a regular basis from living or working in a building with toxic mold growth is nothing any individual should have to experience. While it may seem like a silly topic, more and more evidence of the negative health effects of mold are coming out everyday. Symptoms are often similar to allergies not only in how it makes people feel but also because not all people are impacted equally. So do not write off someone else’s complaints simply because you do not notice the same things.
Your health and happiness is our number one priority, please call us at 623-242-2966 if you would like more specific questions about your property answered or are ready to schedule an appointment.
