NYS-licensed mold testing for Latham homeowners, real estate buyers, agents, and attorneys. An established town of colonie hamlet, predominantly single-family homes from the 1960s through 1990s with newer infill. Air sampling, surface samples, infrared moisture inspection, and third-party lab analysis.
Latham has a substantial mix of housing styles and ages — and that mix is exactly why generic mold inspection approaches miss problems here. Many Latham basements were finished in the 1980s and 1990s without modern moisture barriers — when those finished basements get a foundation crack or a sump issue, mold develops behind the drywall long before it shows on the surface. The right mold testing approach in Latham starts with understanding which kind of property you're standing in before any samples are collected.
Air Test Pros is a NYS-licensed mold assessor (License 24-6ZXG4-SHMO) serving Latham from our Clifton Park headquarters about 5 miles south. Every Latham inspection combines a thorough visual walkthrough with calibrated moisture and thermal imaging, followed by lab-analyzed air or surface samples that identify exactly which mold species are present and at what concentration.
Latham homeowners have plenty of mold-testing options, including national chains. What sets Air Test Pros apart is that we're a Albany County-focused local team — we know the housing stock, the soil conditions, and the local building department contacts that make our reports more useful than a generic out-of-area assessment.
We’ve worked properties throughout Latham — from the Route 9 commercial strip and the established neighborhoods east of Albany-Shaker Road to the quieter residential streets — and we know what conditions to look for before we even open the door. Many Latham basements were finished in the 1980s and 1990s without modern moisture barriers — when those finished basements get a foundation crack or a sump issue, mold develops behind the drywall long before it shows on the surface.

Here's what a Latham mold inspection actually involves on our end:
You get a written report within 2-5 business days of the lab returning results. It includes the spore counts for every sample, comparisons to the outdoor baseline, photos of any issues found, and a section called “What This Means” that translates the data into actionable next steps.
Latham homes built in the 1960s-80s often have undersized attic ventilation by today's standards — when winter ice dams form, water backs up under the shingles and that moisture is what we eventually find as attic-sheathing mold years later.
Mold inspection isn’t a one-size-fits-all process — the testing strategy we apply to a an established Town of Colonie hamlet, predominantly single-family homes from the 1960s through 1990s with newer infill is different from what we’d do at a brand-new construction nearby. Our Latham inspections account for the property’s age, the surrounding microclimate, the foundation type, and the moisture history you tell us about during the initial call.
Most Latham residential mold inspections fall into one of three pricing tiers:
Every Latham mold testing job starts with a free written estimate. The numbers above are typical ranges — actual quotes depend on property size, sample count, and turnaround timeline.
Air Test Pros also serves Latham’s neighboring communities for mold testing — including Colonie, Loudonville, and Cohoes. If you have multiple properties or are coordinating inspections across the region, just let us know during the estimate call.
In addition to mold testing, Air Test Pros provides radon testing, asbestos testing, lead paint testing, PCB testing, and indoor air quality testing for Latham properties. Combining services on the same visit often qualifies for a multi-service discount — ask when you call.
