IICRC-certified technicians • Residential & commercial inspections
Restoration Mate provides mold inspection and testing across Toronto and the GTA, led by IICRC-certified lead technicians. A mold inspection and report costs around $250 for an average-sized home. Mold testing, which adds air and surface sampling with lab analysis, is $450.
An inspection finds visible and hidden mold and the moisture causing it. Testing adds lab-confirmed results when mold is suspected but not visible, or when you need documentation for insurance, a sale or a landlord. Mold is not always visible, and guessing can lead to unnecessary remediation or missed problems. Not sure which you need? Start with an inspection.

Mold inspection and mold testing are two different services. Many homes only need an inspection; testing is added when you need to know what is in the air.
| Mold inspection | Mold testing | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A visual walk-through of your home to find signs of mold and the moisture causing it | Specialized equipment samples the air (and surfaces where needed), and a certified laboratory analyzes the samples |
| What you get | A written report of findings, moisture sources and recommended next steps | A detailed lab report with spore counts by mold type, an indoor and outdoor comparison, and our recommendations |
| Best when | You can see mold or water damage, or want to know how far a problem has spread | You smell mustiness but see no mold, mold keeps coming back, someone has symptoms, or you need documentation for a sale, a tenancy dispute or before remediation |
| Cost | Around $250 for an average-sized home | From $450, including sample collection and lab analysis |
Not sure which you need? Book an inspection first. If our technician finds signs that call for testing, we will recommend it and explain why. See how mold testing works.
Proper inspection helps determine whether mold is active, where moisture is coming from, and whether remediation is necessary. A professional assessment prevents over-treatment and helps address the root cause of mold growth.
If laboratory testing is required, samples may be collected and sent to a certified lab for analysis.
When a visual inspection is not enough, we test the air. Our technicians use specialized air sampling equipment to measure airborne mold spores in the areas you are concerned about, and a certified laboratory analyzes the samples.
Air quality testing is useful when you smell mustiness but cannot see mold, when someone in the home has unexplained symptoms, or when you need documented results. See how testing works and what it costs.
Mold thrives in moist environments, and several common factors contribute to mold growth in your home. Whether you live in a modern house or one of the older homes in the area, unchecked moisture can lead to serious mold problems. Here are the top causes of mold infestations:
✔ Water Damage – Past or present water damage from floods, plumbing leaks, or burst pipes can create the perfect conditions for mold to grow.
✔ Indoor Humidity – High indoor humidity levels (above 60%) can encourage mold spores to settle and spread on walls, ceilings, and furniture.
✔ Damp Basement – A damp basement with poor ventilation, condensation, or foundation leaks is a prime location for mold colonies to develop.
✔ Leaking Roof – A leaking roof allows water to seep into walls and ceilings, leading to hidden mold infestations that worsen over time.
✔ Mold and Moisture Trapped in Older Homes – Older homes may have outdated insulation, poor ventilation, or past leaks that create ongoing mold issues.
Since mold may not always be visible, regular inspections and moisture control measures are essential in preventing infestations. Addressing these risk factors early can protect your home and indoor air quality from the harmful effects of mold.
A mold inspection and report in Toronto and the GTA costs around $250 for an average-sized home. Mold testing, with air and surface sampling and lab analysis, is $450.

A mold inspection is a visual walk-through: we look for signs of mold and the moisture behind it. Mold testing goes a step further.

You receive a detailed report, so decisions about remediation are based on measured results rather than assumptions.
Laboratory results usually take several days. If indoor levels are elevated compared with outdoors, or the lab finds types of mold that point to hidden growth, we explain what the results mean and recommend a remediation plan, including containment, air filtration and safe removal of affected materials. If levels are normal, the report documents the results for your records.
Mold testing in Toronto typically starts at $450, which includes sample collection and laboratory analysis. The final cost depends on the size of the property and the number of samples needed.
