Livewell Inspections provides professional mold inspections, moisture evaluations, and indoor air quality testing services in Charleston, South Carolina..
We help homeowners, buyers, and property owners identify moisture issues, evaluate potential mold conditions, and understand what’s actually affecting their indoor environment—without pressure or unnecessary testing.
LIVEWELL INSPECTIONS

We perform detailed mold inspections focused on identifying moisture sources, conditions that support mold growth, and areas of concern throughout the property.
Our process goes beyond a basic visual walkthrough. We employ a variety of tools and methods to evaluate both visible and hidden conditions.
When needed, we tailor the inspection and testing approach based on what we find—so you get relevant, useful information without unnecessary sampling.

Livewell Inspections provides professional mold inspection and testing services for homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals throughout Charleston, SC and surrounding areas.
We provide inspection and testing only—we do not perform mold remediation.
This allows us to remain fully independent, with recommendations based solely on the conditions we observe—not on selling additional services.

After the inspection, you receive a detailed report outlining our findings, moisture conditions, and any laboratory results if sampling is performed.
We present the information clearly and in context—so you understand what was found, what it means, and what (if anything) should be done next, without unnecessary complexity or alarm.
Reports are typically delivered within 24 hours, with lab results added as they become available.

Mold problems are not always visible. A professional inspection may be helpful if you notice any of the following:
• Musty or damp odors inside the home
• Visible mold growth or discoloration on walls or ceilings
• Recent leaks, flooding, or water damage
• Condensation or high humidity in crawlspaces or attics
• Unexplained allergy symptoms that worsen indoors
• Buying or selling a home and want to check for hidden issues
We help identify moisture issues and determine whether mold may be present.
AIR SAMPLING FOR MOLD SPORES
Hidden mold isn’t always visible. Air testing helps detect what’s circulating in your home.
Learn why air sampling for mold spores is one of the most important steps in a mold inspection.
INSIDE YOUR HVAC SYSTEM
Mold inside ductwork can spread throughout your entire home.

FINDING HIDDEN MOISTURE
Not all problems are visible. Thermal imaging helps detect hidden moisture that can lead to mold growth.
Learn how thermal imaging detects hidden moisture and when it’s used.
TESTING VISIBLE MOLD
When mold is visible, sampling helps identify exactly what type is present.
Learn more about surface mold sampling and when it’s recommended.
WALL CAVITY INSPECTION
Mold often grows where you can’t see it. We use a small camera to visually confirm mold growth inside wall cavities without unnecessary damage.
Learn how wall cavity inspections help identify hidden mold.
WALL CAVITY AIR TESTING
Mold often grows where you can’t see it. Air samples help detect hidden contamination inside wall cavities.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY TESTING (NON-MOLD PARTICLE ANALYSIS)
Not all air quality concerns are related to mold. This testing helps identify dust, fibers, and other airborne particles that may be affecting your indoor environment.
