Mold Testing in Glendale
Glendale mixes 1910s and 1920s bungalows and Spanish Revival homes, canyon houses below the Verdugo Mountains, and plenty of apartment buildings, so the likely moisture source depends on which part of town you're in. We only test, and inspections are $495 for one dwelling up to 2,000 sq ft.
Where does moisture come from in Glendale homes?
Glendale shares the foothill climate of the wider Pasadena & Foothills area. The housing tells you more:
Boom-era bungalows
Much of central and south Glendale was built during the 1915 to 1929 boom. Raised foundations, original plumbing and wood windows are common in those houses.
Canyon neighborhoods
Streets in the canyons along the Verdugos sit on narrow, sloped lots. Water coming off the hillside in a storm can collect against the back wall of the house.
Apartment buildings
Glendale has a large number of mid-century and newer apartment buildings, where leaks between floors and windowless bathrooms are the usual problems.
Where does mold usually show up in Glendale?
- Crawlspaces under 1920s homes, especially below bathrooms
- Back walls and lower rooms of canyon homes after rain
- Bathrooms in apartments with no window and an undersized fan
- Ceilings under an upstairs unit

Mold testing in Glendale: FAQs
How much does mold testing cost in Glendale?
Inspections are $495 for a house or unit up to 2,000 sq ft. Surface samples cost $125 each with lab analysis, and you approve them before we take them. Full cost guide
Do canyon homes need a different kind of inspection?
The inspection is the same, but we focus on the uphill side, any rooms below grade and the path water takes around the house. If there is a crawlspace, it can be added for $250.
Can apartment owners book a whole building?
Yes. Multi-unit buildings are quoted by scope, and the report is organized by unit so owners, managers and tenants can all use it.
