Mold & Indoor Air Quality Inspection

What a Mold & Indoor Air Quality Inspection Is

A mold and indoor air quality inspection evaluates a home for potential mold growth, airborne mold spores, moisture intrusion, and environmental conditions that may affect occupant health and safety. At L&L Home Inspections, we follow InterNACHI Standards of Practice for Mold Inspections and conduct a thorough visual assessment of moisture-prone areas, ventilation systems, and building materials. When appropriate, we perform professional air and surface sampling, which is analyzed by accredited laboratories to identify the presence and type of mold. The inspection focuses on locating moisture sources, assessing indoor conditions, and providing clear guidance to protect both your health and your investment.

Why Mold & Indoor Air Quality Inspections Matter

Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours when moisture is present and often develops in hidden areas such as behind walls, under flooring, or inside HVAC systems. Poor indoor air quality may impact daily comfort and contribute to health concerns, especially for individuals with allergies, asthma, or respiratory sensitivities. Because mold and air quality issues are not always visible or immediately obvious, professional testing provides clarity when musty odors, unexplained symptoms, or prior water damage are concerns.

Why You Need a Mold & Air Quality Inspection

A mold and air quality inspection helps detect hidden mold in areas not visible during a standard home inspection and identifies moisture intrusion, leaks, or ventilation issues that contribute to growth. Certified laboratory results provide valuable documentation for real estate transactions and help protect residents from potential allergy triggers and respiratory issues. For buyers, inspection results offer the information needed to negotiate repairs, remediation, or concessions before closing, while homeowners gain a clearer understanding of their indoor environment.

Risks of NOT Getting a Mold & Air Quality Inspection

  • Ongoing exposure to airborne mold spores that may impact health
  • Undetected moisture problems that can lead to structural damage
  • Mold spreading through HVAC systems and ductwork
  • Higher remediation costs if issues worsen after closing
  • Poor indoor air quality affecting daily comfort and livability
  • Loss of negotiation leverage if mold is discovered too late

Moisture and mold don’t go away on their own, they get worse. A proper inspection identifies the source and provides a clear path forward.
