Common Mold Inspection Questions
Can a home inspector find mold or diagnose moisture issues accurately?
Most home inspectors in Oklahoma are trained to evaluate general systems like roofing, HVAC, plumbing, and structure—but they are not mold specialists. Home inspectors usually do not perform in-depth moisture assessments, air quality testing, or write mold remediation protocols. Their inspections often miss hidden moisture problems behind walls, under floors, or in crawlspaces.
At Clean Air Detective, we go far beyond a standard home inspection. We’re IICRC-certified and use professional tools like thermal imaging cameras, air sampling pumps, moisture meters, and borescopes to detect mold and water damage accurately. Our detailed inspection reports are ideal for buyers, sellers, realtors, and remediation contractors and meet the standards required for insurance claims and legal documentation.

We use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, air sampling pumps, and borescopes to detect hidden mold and water damage — with no unnecessary demolition.
Do you work with doctors or functional medicine practitioners?

Do you offer mold inspections for homebuyers or real estate closings?
Yes, we provide fast and unbiased inspections for buyers, sellers, and agents. Ideal for the option period or before listing a home.
Why should I hire an inspector who doesn’t offer remediation?
We have no conflict of interest. That means our results are 100% focused on truth, not selling you mold removal services.
How do I know if I need a professional mold inspection?
Musty smells, strange health symptoms, past water damage, or visible mold spots are all signs you should schedule an inspection.
What health issues can mold exposure cause?
Mold can cause coughing, sinus issues, chronic fatigue, asthma attacks, and more — especially in sensitive individuals or children.
Can mold make you sick even if you can’t see it?
Yes. Mold spores can travel through the air and impact health even when hidden behind walls or in HVAC ducts.
What are the warning signs of hidden mold in a home?
Musty odors, discolored drywall, condensation, recurring allergies, and recent leaks are all common warning signs.
