Yes. We serve Comstock Township and all of Kalamazoo County, including rural addresses and riverfront properties along the Kalamazoo River corridor. Mike travels directly to your property. No office visit is required.

Yes. Properties near the Kalamazoo River with a history of even occasional basement flooding are at elevated risk for mold in wall cavities, floor framing, and crawl spaces. Mold can establish itself in areas that appear to dry out completely on the surface. A certified air quality test identifies whether mold is present and at what concentration, which determines the appropriate response. Insurance documentation and pre-remediation testing are both common requests from Kalamazoo River area homeowners.

Mold testing at Lakeshore Air Testing starts from $150. Final cost depends on property size, the number of sample locations, and the type of sampling required. We provide an exact quote before scheduling with no hidden fees. Travel to Comstock Township is included.

A farmhouse from the 1940s should be tested for both asbestos and lead paint before any renovation begins. Pre-1960 rural construction in this area commonly includes asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, roof felt, and ceiling materials, along with lead paint on all original surfaces. Disturbing either without prior testing creates a health and legal liability. We test for both in a single visit and provide written reports accepted by Kalamazoo County permit offices.

Yes. Standard home inspections do not include mold testing, asbestos surveys, or lead paint identification. For older Comstock properties near the river or with any history of moisture, adding these tests before closing is a sound investment. We can typically schedule within 24 to 48 hours and deliver results within most contingency windows.

Yes. Outbuildings, garages, and barns built before 1980 can contain asbestos-containing materials in roofing, siding, and insulation, particularly if they were constructed with corrugated roofing panels or spray-on insulation common in agricultural structures of that era. We can include outbuildings as part of a comprehensive property inspection or test them as a standalone service.

Most residential inspections in Comstock take between 1 and 2.5 hours on-site, depending on property size and the number of services. Larger rural properties with outbuildings may take longer. Lab results return within 24 to 48 hours. We deliver a written report and a free phone consultation to walk through every finding.
