Clean Air DetectiveMold 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.
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.

When can I schedule a Norman inspection, and how long does it take?
Our Norman-based business serves local properties, with 10 AM and 1 PM inspection slots Monday–Saturday, subject to availability. A typical visit takes 1–3 hours depending on the property and scope. Share access needs and deadlines when booking.
When will my mold laboratory results be ready?
Standard mold laboratory turnaround is typically 3 business days. Expedited analysis costs $20 per sample and applies to all selected samples or none. It is next-business-day lab service, subject to laboratory availability and submission deadlines, excluding weekends and holidays. Completed report timing is confirmed separately.
Can Norman homeowners, renters, and property managers book an inspection?
Yes. Clean Air Detective serves Norman homes, rentals, and businesses. Describe the concern and coordinate access with the appropriate property contact, including attic or crawl-space access where present.
Should I schedule if I notice a musty odor but cannot see mold?
A recurring odor, water stain, or known leak can help guide an inspection even without visible growth. We evaluate accessible conditions and moisture, discuss sampling when useful, and document limitations. Infrared screening does not see through walls or identify mold by itself.
Do I need air, swab, or tape samples for every inspection?
No. Sampling is selected when it can help answer a specific question and is discussed before collection. The inspection report explains observations and moisture findings; independent laboratory results are included when samples are collected. We provide inspection and testing only, with no remediation sales.
