Mold Inspection Services LLC

What Mold Inspection Services LLC does

Mold Inspection Services LLC, operating as Mold Testing Services (MTS), is a single-practitioner environmental consulting firm founded in 2010 by Mike Meyer in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The firm specializes in mold testing, moisture damage assessments, and indoor air quality (IAQ) evaluations for residential, commercial, healthcare, and institutional clients across eastern South Dakota, NE Nebraska, SW Minnesota, and NW Iowa. Service delivery is entirely field-based, with the owner traveling to client sites to conduct assessments, collect samples, and produce written reports; lab analysis is outsourced to AIHA-certified partner laboratories.

The underlying technology stack consists of calibrated air-sampling pumps (Air-O-Cell or Allergenco cassettes) for total/non-viable spore collection, Andersen samplers with growth media for viable/culturable mold identification, PTRAK ultrafine particle counters, penetrating and non-penetrating moisture meters, relative humidity data loggers, and thermal/infrared cameras for moisture mapping. Visible mold samples are analyzed via tape-lift microscopy at $35/test and airborne samples at $50/test, with 2-3 day turnaround. Pricing is structured per assessment, ranging from $150 for a basic quick visible screen to $400-$1,000 for a comprehensive damage assessment with lab analysis, written report, and travel fees added on top.

MTS generates revenue through professional service fees paid by individual homeowners, realtors, cleaning and restoration firms (ServiceMaster, Steamway's, Rainbow International, Kelsey's), healthcare facilities, and nonprofits. The go-to-market motion is direct field sales combined with referral-driven demand from restoration partners and the regional real estate community; lead generation is supported by an SEO-oriented educational website and thought-leadership conference presentations. The company operates with no external funding, no parent entity, and effectively no technology platform beyond the founder's expertise and instruments.
