Water leak, now tenant wants mold inspection

[Kristy F.]

Hello,

One of the apartment windows leaked water after a series of storms in our area. I quickly had it resealed and peeled off wet drywall replaced within 2 days. Now my tenant is asking for a mold inspection on the rest of the walls around the window that got wet. I don’t see any mold from photos (just some water stains).

I have no prior experience with mold. Is an inspection expensive? I’m also worried that if the inspection does turn up mold, I would have to do an extensive rehab. Any advice appreciated.

Im in Ohio but I found a company that will test for free. They swab, tell you the level and threat risk and provide a treatment plan if necessary. Bactronix is the company but not sure if they are local to you.
