What you actually receive
Most inspection companies will not show you the deliverable until after you have paid for it. Here is every document an inspection produces, section by section.
Short answer
A Sterling mold inspection produces a 30–35 page assessment report — turnaround same day – 24 hrs. Where samples are collected it also produces a 25–30 page laboratory analysis addendum, delivered with the accredited laboratory’s own certificate and the signed chain of custody. Where remediation is warranted it produces a written remediation protocol your contractor works to and is held to.

The deliverable is the product
An inspection is two hours in someone's house. What lasts is the document — and it is the part nobody in this market will show you before you buy.
Compare three mold inspection websites and you will read the same adjectives: thorough, professional, trusted. None of them will tell you how many pages you receive, which standards the report is written under, whether the equipment is named, or whether anyone interprets the laboratory data you paid for.
Those are answerable questions, so we answer them. Every section of every document we issue is listed on these pages, in the order it is printed, with the standards it cites and what each section is actually for. If a competitor’s report does not have a limitations section, a chain-of-custody reconciliation, or ranked recommendations, you will now be able to tell.
The laboratory reports numbers and explicitly declines to interpret them. A certificate tells you a raw count and a classification. Turning that into a conclusion about your building is the licensed assessor’s work, and it is the part most often skipped — the certificate gets forwarded with a sentence of commentary. Ours runs to twenty sections.
What the documents are written under
Cited by name in the documents themselves, not just claimed on a website.
Common questions
A mold assessment report of roughly 30 to 35 pages, delivered within 24 hours. If samples were collected you also receive a laboratory analysis addendum of about 25 to 30 pages, together with the accredited laboratory's own Certificate of Analysis and the signed chain of custody. If remediation is warranted, a remediation protocol is written for your contractor to work to.
