Mold Inspection in Norman, OK

Mold inspection and testing for Norman homes and businesses.

Clean Air Detective is locally owned by Jonathan Vest and serves Norman homeowners, renters, property managers, and businesses. If you notice a musty odor, staining, a past leak, or suspected mold growth, an inspection can help document the concern and identify moisture conditions that need attention.

Our $250 mold inspection includes a full property inspection, including attic and crawl space where safely accessible, moisture mapping, infrared screening, a detailed report, photos, and recommendations. We discuss access limitations and sampling needs for the property.

An inspection plan for Norman’s historic districts and established neighborhoods

Norman’s Chautauqua and Miller neighborhoods became the city’s first local historic districts in 1995 and 1997, under a Historic District Ordinance the City Council adopted in 1993. The Miller district’s twelve blocks sit between Symmes, Classen Boulevard, and Miller Lane, with contributing homes dating to the 1920s. That history makes the repair history of an individual property useful background for an inspection; the neighborhood name alone does not establish a mold problem.

For a pre-1960 Norman home with patched plaster, replaced cabinets, or a past plumbing leak, gather the repair dates and photographs before the appointment. We can compare the visible condition with moisture measurements and document accessible attic or crawl-space areas. A stain may reflect an old event or a current concern, so its appearance should be considered alongside measurements.

Many mid-20th-century Norman homes are now being renovated. If an older property is being updated, tell us which materials will be disturbed and whether any previous testing exists. Mold inspection and asbestos inspection answer different questions; we can discuss the appropriate scope before work begins.

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.
