How Much Does Mold Inspection Cost for Commercial Buildings in Texas?

Mold in a commercial facility isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a health and liability risk. Whether you're managing an office complex, school, warehouse, or healthcare facility, understanding the cost of mold inspections and testing can help you plan for both compliance and occupant safety.

At Champion Environmental, we specialize in environmental testing for commercial and institutional buildings across Texas. In this article, we break down what’s included in a commercial mold inspection, what drives the cost, and what you can expect to pay in 2024–2025 based on regional data.

What’s Included in a Commercial Mold Inspection?

A professional mold inspection typically includes:

• Site assessment and visual inspection

• Moisture detection using infrared or digital meters

• Air and/or surface sampling

• Lab analysis for mold spores and species

• A comprehensive findings report with recommendations

Depending on the facility type, additional documentation or testing may be required to meet OSHA or regulatory standards.

Mold Inspection Costs in Texas (Commercial Estimates)

Costs for mold inspection in commercial settings vary by property type, square footage, and the number of test samples required. Here’s a general breakdown:

Service Type	Texas Price Range	Average Cost

Factors That Influence Commercial Mold Testing Costs

Every commercial building is different, but here are the primary factors that affect mold testing costs:

• Facility Size and Layout – Larger or multi-story buildings require more testing points.

• Occupancy Type – Healthcare, education, and food-related facilities often require more thorough documentation and follow-up.

• Sampling Needs – Air quality testing, surface sampling, and moisture mapping can add to cost.

• Urgency – Rush or emergency testing services may include premium rates.

When Is Mold Testing Necessary?

Mold testing is often recommended in commercial buildings when:

• Tenants, employees, or staff report odors or symptoms

• Visible mold appears on walls, ceilings, or HVAC components

• You’re preparing for renovations or re-occupancy

• Compliance documentation is required for insurance, leasing, or legal purposes

Champion Environmental evaluates the situation to determine if testing is required, or if a visual inspection is sufficient.
