East Point’s 1920s–50s historic bungalows are some of the most character-rich homes in metro Atlanta — and some of the most mold-prone. Aging plumbing, pier-and-beam crawl spaces, and decades of Georgia humidity make hidden mold a common find. Atlanta’s Best Restoration provides independent mold testing across East Point from $299, and we’ve tested homes right here in the area. We take air and surface samples, have them analyzed by an accredited Atlanta lab, and give you straight answers about what’s in your property. Our testing is independent: when we test a property, we don’t remediate it — we coordinate remediation through a trusted third-party company. No conflict of interest, no incentive to find problems that aren’t there. Call 404-480-8338 to schedule.
What the $299 Mold Testing Package Includes
- Visual inspection of the property, with photo documentation
- Moisture readings to find where water is getting in
- 1 outdoor control sample + 1 indoor room sample (air cassette or tape-lift)
- Lab analysis and a clear written report, explained in plain language
- Additional rooms or samples: $75 each
How It Works
- Call 404-480-8338. Tell us what you’re seeing or smelling and which rooms are affected. Testing is paid up front at booking, and we pay the laboratory directly.
- We test. A certified technician inspects the property, takes moisture readings, and collects your air and surface samples.
- You get answers in 3–4 days. Lab results come back with a plain-language explanation of what was found and what — if anything — should happen next. Need them faster? Same-day and expedited results are available at an additional cost — the lab charges more for rush analysis, so the rush charge is passed through. If remediation is needed, we coordinate it through a trusted third party, so you don’t have to shop contractors yourself.
Why Independent Testing Means Unbiased Results
Some companies test and then sell you the cleanup. That business model has a built-in incentive to find mold everywhere. We structured our company the other way: Atlanta’s Best Restoration tests and coordinates — remediation on any property we test is handled by a trusted third-party company, and we receive the referral. Our job is to tell you the truth about what’s in your air and on your surfaces, backed by accredited lab results. If the lab says your home is clear, we’ll tell you that. If it isn’t, we’ll show you exactly what the lab found and coordinate the next step.
Why East Point’s Bungalows Are Prone to Hidden Mold
East Point’s historic bungalows went up when pier-and-beam crawl spaces and galvanized plumbing were standard — and much of that original construction is still in service. Crawl spaces that were never encapsulated collect ground moisture year-round; in summer, warm humid air condensing on cool ductwork and floor joists keeps wood damp enough for mold to thrive unseen. Galvanized supply and drain lines corrode from the inside out, producing slow leaks inside walls that can run for months before anyone notices a stain. Add mature tree cover shading roofs and siding, gutters that spill toward foundations, and window AC units or aging central systems struggling with humidity, and you have a recipe for hidden growth. We’ve seen it firsthand testing homes in East Point: the musty smell when the system kicks on, the staining around floor vents, the soft spot in a closet floor. Testing tells you what’s actually there — and what isn’t — before you spend a dollar on remediation.
