Short answer
Most residential mold inspections take 60 to 120 minutes on site, and laboratory results come back in one to three business days depending on the analysis ordered.
A single-room investigation after a known leak is quick. A whole-house inspection with a crawlspace, an attic and multiple bathrooms takes the full two hours, and large commercial buildings are scheduled by square footage.
If you have an escrow deadline or a landlord dispute clock running, tell us when you book — rush lab turnaround is available on most sample types.
Why it matters in San Diego
A Hillcrest condo might take an hour; a large Poway home with an attic and crawlspace takes longer.
