Mold Inspection in Guthrie, OK

Careful documentation for Guthrie’s historic buildings and renovations

Guthrie’s historic built environment includes Victorian-era commercial architecture and buildings from Oklahoma’s territorial period. The Oklahoma Historical Society’s survey of the Guthrie Historic District records individual buildings and their construction dates. That history is useful context for planning an assessment, but it is not evidence that a particular building contains mold or asbestos.

In an older Guthrie property, share known changes to roof drainage, plumbing, windows, and interior finishes. A room may contain several generations of materials. We document accessible water staining, suspect growth, and moisture conditions, and identify access limitations rather than assume what is behind historic finishes.

If renovation is part of the plan, discuss suspect building materials before they are disturbed. Mold and asbestos require different sampling methods and answer different questions. Jonathan is an Oklahoma state-licensed asbestos inspector; asbestos inspection is $250 and bulk samples are $40 each. For larger work, call for custom pricing and a scope matched to the property.

What’s included in your $250 inspection

The full property inspection includes the attic and crawl space where safely accessible. We discuss the areas of concern and document any access limitations.

• Visual inspection: accessible materials, water staining, visible suspect growth, and evidence of water damage.
• Moisture mapping: readings that help document damp materials and the extent of the concern.
• Infrared screening: surface temperature patterns that guide a closer look, checked alongside moisture measurements.
• Borescope camera: inspection through suitable accessible openings where appropriate; concealed areas may remain outside the view.
• Detailed protocol report: photos, findings, recommendations, and guidance for discussing corrective work.

Air, swab, and tape samples are selected when they can help answer a question. Analysis is performed by an independent third-party accredited laboratory. Sampling is priced separately and discussed before collection. Learn about air and surface sampling.
