Protect your family's health and your investment with professional mold sampling and radon gas testing — added to your inspection by a Certified Master Inspector®.
Mold and radon are two of the most common environmental hazards found in homes, and both share a dangerous trait: you usually can't see them, smell them, or detect them without testing. Proven Home Inspection offers professional mold sampling and radon gas testing that can be added to any home inspection, giving you a complete picture of your indoor environment before you commit to a purchase.
Mold sampling identifies the type and concentration of mold spores in the air and on surfaces, while radon testing measures levels of radon gas using EPA-protocol equipment. Both tests are performed by Dennis Shirley, a Certified Master Inspector® with more than 8,500 inspections completed across northeast Georgia, and results are delivered alongside your inspection report so you have everything in one place.
Radon occurs naturally throughout the Georgia clay-soil region, and mold can develop anywhere there has been past moisture intrusion — a leaky roof, a damp crawlspace, an old plumbing problem. Testing turns these hidden unknowns into clear facts you can act on, whether that means negotiating, remediating, or simply moving forward with confidence.
Mold sampling and radon testing can each be added to your home inspection — or combined for full environmental peace of mind.
Air samples that identify the type and concentration of mold spores present indoors, compared against outdoor baseline levels.
Visual assessment of visible mold growth, staining, and the moisture conditions that allow mold to develop and spread.
EPA-protocol radon testing using precision monitoring equipment to measure gas levels against the federal action level.
Mold samples are analyzed by an accredited laboratory, with clear results identifying spore types and concentrations.
You receive a clear written report with your findings, the action level, and practical recommendations for next steps.
If elevated levels are found, Dennis explains your options and points you toward qualified remediation specialists.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, according to the EPA. It seeps up from the soil and can accumulate to dangerous levels inside a home without anyone knowing — the only way to find out is to test.
Mold is equally serious. Beyond the structural damage it causes, mold can trigger allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems, especially in children and people with sensitivities. Once it takes hold behind walls or under floors, remediation can be expensive.
Testing before you buy means you find out on your timeline — with room to negotiate, remediate, or walk away — rather than discovering the problem after you've moved your family in.
Your testing results are delivered alongside your inspection report, documented clearly and explained in plain language so you understand exactly where you stand.
From your first phone call to final report delivery, here's exactly what to expect.

Questions after the report? Call Dennis directly. We make sure you understand every finding.
Yes. Radon occurs naturally as uranium in soil and rock breaks down, and it's found throughout Georgia — including the northeast region. Because levels vary house to house regardless of the neighborhood, the EPA recommends testing every home. The only way to know your home's radon level is to measure it.
A standard radon test runs for a minimum of 48 hours using continuous monitoring equipment to capture an accurate average. We coordinate the test timing with your inspection so your results are ready alongside your report.
Mold testing is worth considering any time there's a musty odor, visible staining on walls or ceilings, or a history of water intrusion or past leaks. It's also smart on older homes, homes that have been vacant, and any property where you simply want confirmation that the air is healthy.
Absolutely — that's the most common way clients use them. Both mold sampling and radon testing can be bundled with your general home inspection so you get one complete picture of the property. Just ask when you schedule and Dennis will set it up.
Elevated mold or radon isn't a deal-breaker — both can be remediated. If your results come back high, Dennis will explain what the numbers mean and point you toward qualified remediation specialists. You'll have the facts you need to negotiate or plan with confidence.
