Same-day response when our basement flooded. They dried it out and removed the damaged drywall before mold could spread.
Very knowledgeable about mold types. The lab identified it, they removed it, and re-tested to confirm.

No, many inspections happen because of a musty smell, past water damage, or just wanting a clear picture before a renovation or home purchase.
