“Wow! Me and my husband were blown away with Pure Air. Randy was VERY knowledgeable, kind, and hard working. He really cared about our situation and it showed! Highly recommend this company for anyone with even a suspicion of mold.”
Some of the worst mold problems we’ve dealt with in Birmingham had nothing visible on the walls. The homeowner just knew something was off: a smell that wouldn’t leave, a cough that got worse after dinner, or a room that felt different from the rest of the house. Mold hides well, and it’s patient. If you wait until you can see it, you’re usually years behind, but we can usually track it down in a single visit.

“Wow! Me and my husband were blown away with Pure Air. Randy was VERY knowledgeable, kind, and hard working. He really cared about our situation and it showed! Highly recommend this company for anyone with even a suspicion of mold.”
“Jack came out and immediately found the mold we had been suspecting for awhile. My husband was suffering from brain fog and headaches. My son had been to the ER multiple times last year because of breathing issues. Since getting the mold removed my son and husband’s issues have disappeared. I was shocked at the difference in the air sampling from before and after.”
“Scott Kennemer came to our home and sat down and explained the entire process to us. Next Ry and Dee came out and explained everything they would be doing for the day. Our situation is a 100% better — the pulmonary doctor is amazed at how much better my husband can breathe. I can’t say enough good things about this company and the employees!”
“Pure Air of Alabama came to the rescue. Ri the tech did an awesome job — I slept in my room after treatment for the first time in 2 weeks. Mold gone, breathing good, no musty smell anymore. I would use Pure Air again and again.”
“Great company! I reported a possible mold problem around 11:00 in the morning and had the room cleaned before 7:00 that night. I know that is not always going to be possible, but we had a problem that needed attention asap and they made it happen.”
“From the 1st phone call to the final visit, everything could not have gone any smoother. A gentleman came to my house for a site visit — he was transparent and made me feel comfortable with the process. Dee was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this company!”
The usual trigger is a musty smell you can’t pin down. You’ve checked behind the couch, opened every cabinet, pulled the washer away from the wall, and the smell is still there. The other big one is health stuff: congestion that clears up when you’re out of town, headaches that come back the second you walk through the front door, asthma that’s suddenly worse for no reason. Condensation keeps forming on your windows or AC vents. A pipe leaked two years ago and you thought it was handled. Birmingham humidity does a lot of the damage people don’t see. Dew points sit in the mid-70s for weeks in July and August, and HVAC systems pull moisture into wall cavities and crawl spaces faster than most homeowners realize. Older homes in Highland Park, Forest Park, and Avondale are especially good at hiding it.
Detection is investigation work. You need the right tools and enough experience to know what they’re telling you. Our NORMI-trained inspectors walk the property first, following airflow, odor trails, and the small visual clues that usually get missed. Stains along a baseboard. Paint that’s barely bubbled. A closet that feels colder than the hallway outside it. Then we bring in the equipment. Moisture meters read through drywall and subfloor to find water you can’t see. Protimeters check deeper into the framing. Hygrometers map the humidity pockets where mold actually wants to live. Most inspections take a couple of hours on site, sometimes longer for larger or more complex properties. If something concealed is indicated, we pull air or surface samples and send them to an independent lab for confirmation before we recommend any remediation work.
Cost comes down to property size and how much detective work the job takes. A home where the smell is coming from one obvious room goes quicker than a 3,000 square foot ranch with symptoms in every bedroom. Our pricing reflects the inspector’s time, the equipment used, and any lab work involved. You get the number in writing before we start. No hidden fees, nothing sprung on you at the end. Skipping professional detection usually costs more down the road, because remediation done in the wrong spot is money poured straight into drywall.
Finding hidden mold is the hardest part of this whole process, and it’s where most companies cut corners. We’ve inspected hundreds of properties across Jefferson and Shelby counties. We know what Birmingham humidity does to attics in August and what a crawl space looks like after a decade of poor drainage on red clay. Same-day appointments are usually available, and every inspection is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If we find something, we’ll show you exactly where it is and explain how our VaPURE technology handles it without tearing half the house apart to reach it.
Call Pure Air Alabama at (866) 928-5551 when you know something isn’t right but can’t find the source. We’ll come out, track it down, and tell you exactly what you’re dealing with, usually the same day.
The first step is a free telephone consultation with a specialist. It helps you understand why you have mold, the causes, and what can be done about it — including Pure Air Alabama services, availability, and pricing.
