Clean Air DetectiveClear information for your Edmond property
Whether you own a home, manage a commercial space, or are considering a property purchase in Edmond, signs of past water damage can raise questions that a fresh coat of paint does not answer. Clean Air Detective documents accessible conditions and helps you understand what needs further attention.
Owner Jonathan Vest serves Edmond from Norman. His background includes hands-on water damage restoration experience, and his current work focuses on independent environmental inspection and testing. Meet your inspector and review his credentials.
Buying, selling, or investigating a musty room?
A mold-focused assessment can help investigate a concern identified during a general home inspection, a disclosure about a past leak, or an unexplained odor. It is also useful when occupants or property managers notice recurring staining or damp materials.
- Before a purchase: share inspection findings, known repair history, and your decision deadline.
- For an occupied home: describe where and when odors or moisture appear, including changes during air-conditioning use.
- For a business or rental: identify affected rooms, access arrangements, and the questions the assessment needs to answer.
A mold inspection has a different scope from a general home inspection. Learn about mold inspections for real estate transactions.
From moisture investigation to a written report
- Review your concerns. We discuss the property, previous leaks, repairs, and areas you want investigated.
- Inspect accessible areas. The property inspection includes the attic and crawl space where safely accessible. Visual observations, moisture mapping, and infrared screening guide the assessment.
- Discuss sampling. If air or surface samples would help answer a specific question, we explain the options and costs.
- Document the findings. You receive a detailed report with photos, recommendations, and laboratory results when samples are collected.
Infrared screening helps locate temperature differences for further investigation; it does not identify mold or reveal everything inside a wall. We document access limitations and areas that may need further investigation.
Choosing the right mold test
Air sampling and surface sampling answer different questions. An indoor air sample, considered with an outdoor control, provides information about airborne spores at the time of sampling. A swab or tape sample helps examine suspect material at a selected surface.
Samples are analyzed by a third-party laboratory. The report considers results with visible conditions and moisture findings so that a single number is not the entire assessment. Explore air quality testing or read about targeted wall-cavity sampling.
What does an Edmond mold inspection cost?
Our listed mold inspection is $250, including moisture mapping, infrared screening, a detailed report, photos, and recommendations. Sampling is separate: the two-sample air quality test is $120, and additional air, swab, or tape samples are $60 each.
Larger commercial or multi-area projects may need a custom quote. See all service prices and confirm the inspection and sampling scope when scheduling.
Edmond mold inspection questions
Can you inspect before my inspection period ends?
Contact us with the property location and your deadline so we can discuss availability and laboratory timing. Tell us about any expedited-result needs before booking; scheduling and testing options need to be confirmed for your appointment.
What if the affected area has been painted or repaired?
Provide any earlier photos, repair invoices, and information about the original leak. The assessment documents what can be observed and measured during the visit; covered or inaccessible materials may require further investigation.
Can you check after a restoration company finishes?
Yes. Post-remediation verification is available to evaluate the completed work within an agreed scope. Share the original findings and the contractor's work details when arranging that visit.
Edmond resources when a water leak is involved
For a property served by Edmond's water system, the city publishes a water-leak reporting guide (PDF). It explains how reported leaks are investigated and how the response differs for leaks on the city side or customer side of the meter.
If a leak affected the building, keep the repair details and photographs for your inspection. For an Edmond property purchase, ask the seller for available leak and repair history and share your inspection deadline when scheduling.
Clean Air Detective serves Edmond from Norman. We assess accessible building conditions and moisture concerns; plumbing or utility repairs are handled by the appropriate provider. If your property uses another water provider, contact the utility shown on your bill for its reporting process.
Independent findings to guide your next step
Clean Air Detective does not sell mold remediation or asbestos abatement. Our role is to inspect, test when appropriate, and explain the findings. You choose who performs any needed repairs or remediation.
