Clear Answers About Your Mold Concern
Mold is not always limited to the area you can see. Moisture can remain behind drywall, beneath flooring, inside cabinets, near windows, or within other concealed building materials.
Our free initial inspection helps identify visible growth, moisture-related warning signs, and accessible materials that may require further attention. We explain what we find and recommend an appropriate next step based on the property’s condition.
What our free mold inspection may include
- Discussion of the mold or moisture concern
- Visual inspection of accessible areas
- Review of visible stains or suspected growth
- Moisture readings in affected materials
- Inspection of nearby walls, ceilings, and flooring
- Evaluation of musty odors
- Identification of materials that may require remediation
- Preliminary remediation recommendations
Should You Have Your Property Inspected for Mold?
You do not need to wait until mold covers a large surface. Odors, recurring moisture damage, and changes in building materials can provide early warning that a concealed problem requires attention.
Signs it is time to request a mold inspection
Mold Returns After Cleaning
Recurring growth may mean moisture or contamination remains inside the material or in a connected area.
A Musty Odor Has No Obvious Source
Persistent odors inside closets, cabinets, bathrooms, or other enclosed spaces may point to concealed mold growth.
Stains Are Spreading Across Materials
Discoloration that expands across drywall, ceilings, flooring, or wood may require more than surface treatment.
Materials Remained Wet After a Leak
Drywall, insulation, carpet, cabinets, and framing that stayed damp may develop mold even after the visible water disappears.
Mold Appears in Several Areas
Growth in multiple rooms or along connected surfaces may indicate a broader moisture and contamination problem.
What Happens During a Free Mold Inspection?
Our inspection process is designed to help you understand the visible concern, the moisture conditions surrounding it, and the next step your property may require.
We Review What You Have Noticed
We ask where the odor, stain, or suspected growth appeared, when you first noticed it, and whether the property recently experienced water damage.
We inspect accessible areas
We visually examine the affected space and nearby walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinets, closets, and other accessible materials.
We check for moisture indicators
When appropriate, we use moisture-detection equipment to check whether visible or surrounding materials contain elevated moisture.
We explain what we find
We review the visible conditions, moisture findings, affected materials, and any areas that could require closer evaluation.
We recommend the next step
Depending on the findings, we may recommend moisture correction, structural drying, professional remediation, independent mold testing, or continued observation.
Practical Guidance Without Unnecessary Guesswork
A mold concern can leave you unsure whether the property needs cleaning, drying, remediation, repairs, or laboratory testing. We inspect the accessible conditions and explain the recommended next step in straightforward language.

Sam and Ali were absolutely fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, they were professional, thorough, and incredibly communicative. They came out multiple times to assess the situation and provided a detailed, transparent quote that clearly outlined the scope of work—no hidden fees, no surprises. What really stood out was their honesty and the time they took to explain everything. The level of detail they provided gave us full confidence in their knowledge and capabilities. They were easy to talk to, responsive, and clearly dedicated to helping their clients understand every step of the process. If you're looking for a company that is reliable, transparent, and truly knows their stuff choose A/S general contracting. I 10/10 recommend them.

The entire crew at A/S General Contracting were great! They kept me informed every step of the way. They were professional and did a great job on my restroom restoration. Magda helped me through the entire insurance process and I am so appreciative. I definitely recommend their services.
Rebecca GomezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
A/S general contractor was recommended by a friend and so glad I went with them. They were able to come in and remodel our house after a flood and it far exceeded my expectations. They turned a stressful situation to easy and stress free for us. Special shoutout to Sam, for keeping things honest and straight forward. I knew what I was getting from the get go and if I had any issues he was able to correct them within the hour. Sam is detailed oriented and you can he shows that he cares about the customers by his actions.
Chad WhitehouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Two years after the “shoddy” work they performed we are having to completely replace the flooring. They shot pin nails into laminate flooring but that isn’t the worst part. The patchwork they used to lay a sub floor was crap. They know what they did. They all like to agree and blame the homeowner for whatever goes wrong. One tone even suggesting they because we live in a “trailer house,” the floor would never be perfect. Well now we see clearly what kind of a pieced together project they did, we now have someone who is fixing this fiasco! Don’t use them

Any leak damage will take time and patience. Ali, Greg and Abel were great. Good communication! Good follow through! Scheduling was clearly communicated. Every project takes time, but these guys took care of the little details. They also helped me get the most from my coverage. This is my 3rd time working with A/S Contracting. I would recommend them to anyone.

Olivia BueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We had a major water leak that required us to file a claim through our insurance company, and our plumber referred us to A/S General. From the very beginning, Greg and Sam were incredibly helpful, guiding us through the entire process and helping expedite everything with our insurance company. Greg, Sam, and their entire team were professional, thorough, and communicative every step of the way. The construction crew consistently showed up on time, worked efficiently, and always left the work area clean at the end of each day. Thanks to their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, our home is now in even better condition than before the water leak. We highly recommend A/S General to anyone in need of home restoration or construction services. Thank you to the entire team for taking such great care of our home!

I like to stay current and hip, whether thats rearranging furniture, window treatments, fresh paint, crown mold,etc ...His team has been there to help me manage my spaces. Hard to find good communication and customer service today, your in good hands with this company

I highly recommend A/S General Contracting and will most definitely be requesting their services again. I had major water damage in my house and the repair and replacement done was outstanding. The pricing was reasonable and the worked with me in every aspect of the job. Sam Abraham was very attentive, helpful, handled everything quickly and professionally. Customer service was astonishing and they worked very quickly to get me my house back to 150%. I am beyond pleased work they did. Well made, durable and worth every penny. The service, product and overall experience was outstanding.

I just want to start of by saying that this company went an above and beyond for us to get the scope writing and administrative negotiations with our insurance.I feel we received the most money so our insurance would take care of the flood we had at our home.
Andy R.August 23, 2024Verified
Requested to do the job asap. Told Sam Abraham we have house guests coming in at the middle of the week. He sent a crew to see what needs to be done. By Monday, they started fixing the damage and late afternoon, the same day, the job was done. Sam Abraham didn't promise but he produced the result. Ben L

Had some water damage in my shower and closet due to a burst pipe leak. A/S General Contracting came in and worked with my insurance to get my shower back to peak shape. Appreciate the professionalism and communication from Sam every step of the way. When I had a question he was easily accessible. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Special thanks to Hugo as well for the good work.
Eric M.June 10, 2024Verified
The team has been on time,quick, understanding & professional. I can say a lot of people are not like that now and days. Sam and Travis were amazing at what they do. Need more good people like them. From somebody from the military nothing makes me happier than someone that is on time and staying true to their word. Continue the good work you do gentlemen.
Angel E.June 1, 2024Verified
Sam and A/S General were great to work with. Sam was very helpful in walking us through the insurance process for our water damage and was even able to get us more money then our other contractor. Sam was always available no matter how many questions I had. I would definitely recommend this company for any restoration project and Sam is by far one of the best individuals I have had to work with.

Why San Diego Properties Develop Mold Concerns
San Diego’s climate varies between coastal, urban, inland, and hillside communities. Properties near the coast can experience marine humidity and condensation, while inland buildings may develop moisture problems after leaks, appliance failures, roof damage, or seasonal storms.
Older houses may contain plaster walls, original flooring, aging roofs, and enclosed cavities that hide moisture. Condominiums, apartments, and mixed-use buildings can also have shared walls, ceilings, and flooring systems that allow water to affect adjoining spaces.
A free mold inspection can help determine whether visible growth, odors, or damaged materials are connected to an active moisture condition.
Areas commonly inspected for mold and moisture
- Drywall, plaster, and wall cavities
- Ceilings and attic materials
- Flooring and subflooring
- Bathrooms and laundry areas
- Kitchens and appliance areas
- Cabinets and built-in storage
- Closets with limited ventilation
- Windows and exterior walls

Free Mold Inspection FAQS for San Diego Properties
Is the initial mold inspection really free?
Yes. Our initial inspection of accessible areas is provided without an inspection fee. If laboratory testing, destructive investigation, or an independent environmental assessment is recommended, those services may involve a separate cost.
Does a free mold inspection include laboratory testing?
No. The free inspection focuses on visible conditions, accessible materials, and moisture indicators. Air or surface samples require laboratory analysis and are separate from the initial inspection.
Can you inspect for mold behind walls?
We can check accessible surfaces and use moisture-detection equipment to look for signs of concealed dampness. Confirming conditions inside a closed cavity may require material removal, specialized testing, or a separate invasive inspection.
How long does a mold inspection take?
The time depends on the size of the property, number of affected areas, accessibility, and extent of the moisture concern. We can provide a better estimate after learning more about the property.
What happens if mold is found?
We explain the visible conditions, affected materials, moisture concerns, and recommended next step. Depending on the situation, the property may need moisture correction, structural drying, containment, material removal, HEPA cleaning, independent testing, or repairs.
