On every My Pure Environment treatment
Is that smell in the basement after the melt actually mold, or just a damp house? Mold Inspection & Testing in Spokane, WA answers that with numbers rather than a guess: a moisture survey of the property, air and surface samples, and a written report from an independent accredited lab that says what is there, how much, and whether it needs remediation.
My Pure Environment runs inspections and testing for homeowners, buyers, sellers, landlords and property managers from our base on Spokane's South Hill. Terry does many of them. This page explains who needs a test and why, which of our seven inspection and testing services fits your situation, and what the report gives you afterward.

Why call a private inspector instead of the health district?
Because the health district will tell you to. Spokane Regional Health District states on its own website that it does not run a mold or indoor air quality program, does not do in-home assessments or testing, and refers residents to a trained private professional. Washington has no state mold remediation license either, and neither does Idaho. So there is no certificate on a wall that settles the question. What settles it is the lab.
That is why every inspection we do ends in a report from an independent accredited third-party lab, not an opinion from the person who would also like to sell you the remediation. Samples are logged, sent out, and analyzed by people who have never met us. You get the results in writing, and if remediation is not needed, the report says so and we go home.
Who in Spokane needs a mold test, and what for?
Buyers and sellers, first. A pre-listing inspection on a South Hill house lets the seller fix a damp basement before it turns up in the buyer's report and knocks the price around. A pre-purchase inspection on a Spokane Valley ranch tells the buyer what is under the floor before they close. Realtors on both sides of the Inland Northwest send us these jobs every month, and the written lab report travels with the transaction.
Landlords and property managers, second, and here the law does the asking. Under RCW 59.18.060, a Washington landlord has to give tenants the Department of Health's mold information at lease signing and fix the leaks and ventilation defects that cause mold. The City of Spokane went further in 2023: before a lease is signed, a landlord must disclose any history of mold in the unit, what remediation was done, and any tenant-reported health concerns. A lab report at turnover is how you document that history rather than argue about it later.
Homeowners, third. If someone in the house is unwell and you suspect the air, we test the air, but we do not diagnose people. Our page on mold toxicity covers what the EPA and CDC say about mold and health. The report tells you what is in the house; your doctor tells you what it means for you.
Which inspection or test do you need?
Mold Testing is the general service: air samples inside and outside for comparison, surface samples where we see growth, moisture readings, and the lab report. Air Quality Testing is the right call when nothing is visible but the house feels wrong, and it reads spore counts per zone against an outdoor baseline so you can see whether the problem is inside at all.
The room inspections follow where Spokane houses fail. Attic Mold Inspection checks the roof deck, insulation and fan venting after a winter of ice dams. Basement Mold Inspection reads the foundation walls for seepage lines and efflorescence and tests behind finished walls that may be hiding wet framing. Bathroom Mold Inspection puts a meter behind the tile and checks whether the exhaust fan pulls anything at all. Crawl Space Mold Inspection looks at the vapor barrier, the vents, the ductwork and the joists under a ranch house, which is where the Spokane Valley calls usually go.
Post-Remediation Clearance Testing is the last step after any remediation, ours or someone else's. Air samples go to the lab and the report confirms whether the spore counts came down. Buyers, landlords and insurers ask for this document, and it is the one we recommend you do not skip.
Is the air in a closed-up Spokane house different from the air outside?
Yes, and for longer stretches than most places. Across the five summers from 2020 to 2025, Spokane saw around six unhealthy smoke days a season, and the worst recent days in September. Regional guidance during smoke is to keep windows and doors shut, set the HVAC to recirculate and run filtration continuously. That is the right advice for smoke, and it is also a sealed box with a loaded filter and rising humidity. Then winter comes, and the valley's inversions trap cold air and pollutants near the ground from December to February while the furnace pushes the same indoor air around the house for months.
An outdoor reading tells you about smoke. An indoor sample tells you what that sealed house has been growing. When the two disagree, the inspection finds out why, and the fix is usually a fan, a duct or a damp corner rather than the sky.

Frequently Asked
What people ask us.
Have a question we haven't answered? Contact us, or call 866-940-1153.
Not by default, but ask. On the EPA's radon map Spokane County is Zone 1, and Kootenai County across the Idaho line is Zone 1 too, so the same basements and crawl spaces we inspect for moisture are the ones worth testing for radon. It is a separate test with separate equipment, and we can talk through it during the consultation.
Most homes take an hour or two on site, longer for a large house or a commercial building. Samples then go to the lab, and we send you the written report with plain-language notes as soon as the results come back. We schedule Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm.
You can, and it will almost always find mold, because mold spores are in most houses and in the air outside. What a kit cannot tell you is whether the count inside is higher than the count outside, where the moisture is coming from, or whether the number means remediation. That comparison is the whole point of a professional test.
The law does not require a test, but it does require disclosure. Washington's RCW 59.18.060 has you give tenants the state mold information at lease signing, and Spokane's 2023 rental ordinance has you disclose any history of mold and the remediation performed before a lease is signed. A lab report at turnover is the simplest way to know what you are disclosing.
You get the report and a straight recommendation. If the numbers call for remediation, we explain the options, including our own whole-home treatment, and give you a written scope. If they do not, we tell you that too, along with the moisture fix that will keep it that way.
