What Is a Mold Inspection — And Why Root Cause Matters

Many companies offer mold testing — few know how to find the why behind the issue. Our inspectors are ASHI-trained, meaning we apply building science principles and inspection protocols to every mold investigation.

We evaluate the entire property as required, including:

• Roofing, flashing, and drainage systems

• Crawlspaces and basements using robotic access

• Attic ventilation and insulation

• HVAC systems and ductwork for moisture or microbial buildup

• Foundation grading and siding integrity

• Moisture intrusion using thermal and moisture meters

Then we use Sporecyte sampling to scientifically confirm what we see.

Advanced Mold Testing with Sporecyte

We use Sporecyte air and surface cassettes to collect samples, which are analyzed in an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 PJLA-accredited lab. This AI-enhanced system provides fast, visual, and reliable results, often with better clarity than traditional labs.

Sporecyte Benefits:

• Faster turnaround times to make timely decisions

• Color-coded, easy-to-understand reports

• Visual lab-grade confirmation of mold spores and quantities

• Paired with on-site inspection findings for deeper context

When combined with our home inspection protocols, Sporecyte becomes a tool for diagnosing the problem, not just reporting a result.

Crawlspace Mold Detection with Robotic Crawlers (coming soon)

Crawlspaces are notorious for harboring mold and poor air quality conditions — yet they’re often inaccessible. Our crawler robot solves this by capturing real-time video and photos under your home without putting anyone at risk.

We inspect:

• Vapor barriers

• Subfloor insulation

• Plumbing leaks

• Standing water

• Mold staining on joists or sheathing

This visual documentation supports our moisture findings and Sporecyte results, helping us trace mold back to its environmental trigger.

Indoor Air Quality Testing – Know What You’re Breathing

Mold is only part of the air quality equation. Our indoor air quality testing evaluates your home’s overall airborne environment. We use Sporecyte air sampling combined with home diagnostic inspections to assess:

• Mold spores

• Humidity levels

• Ventilation effectiveness

• HVAC cleanliness

• Dust, dander, and irritant buildup

• Environmental conditions that affect long-term respiratory health

Many homeowners in Fort Smith experience air quality problems related to poorly sealed crawlspaces, aging ductwork, and improper bathroom or attic ventilation. We diagnose these using the same standards and tools we apply to full home inspections.
