Frequent Ask Questions
When it comes to mold concerns, not all inspections are created equal. While a general home inspector can provide a basic overview of a property, they are not licensed or trained to perform in-depth mold assessments. At True Check Mold & HVAC Inspections, we offer specialized mold inspection services performed by a certified and licensed mold assessor, giving you a far more accurate and health-focused evaluation.
The Key Differences
General Home Inspector:
-
Performs a limited inspection
-
Typically, does not perform complete mold testing or sampling
-
Usually, the inspector just sends you the lab results to you and tells you to call a Mold Remediation company. They don’t offer interpretation of the results (the most important part)
-
Does not provide detailed protocols for remediation
-
HVAC inspection is usually basic and non-invasive since they are not legally able to take a panel off the equipment for proper inspection and diagnosis. (State HVAC License required)
Licensed HVAC & Mold Assessor (True Check Inspections):
-
State-certified and trained specifically in mold assessment & HVAC
-
Performs comprehensive inspections, including hidden areas
-
Uses advanced tools like:
-
Air and surface sampling
-
Freon gages, Electrical meters
-
- Hygrometers and moisture meters
-
Infrared moisture detection
-
Identifies sources of moisture, not just visible mold
-
Evaluates HVAC system and Air Ductwork for operation and Warranty look up
-
Provides clear findings and remediation recommendations
-
Focuses on health, air quality, and long-term prevention
-
A licensed mold assessor is trained to find the root cause, not just the symptoms.

-
A few common situations occur during real estate transactions which can make a property a good candidate for mold testing:
-
Seller disclosed past water damage or mold issues
-
The home buyer or their family are in a sensitive population (allergies, asthma, known mold sensitivities, immunocompromised, infants, elderly, etc.)
-
Suspected mold growth is observed
-
Water damage is found
-
High humidity in the home and/or condensation issues found
-
Musty odors
-
Generally speaking tape lifts are the preferred capture method for surface samples. Tape lifts preserve the suspect growth and the corresponding structures much better than swabs. Swab samples are preferred when the surface to be sampled is extremely wet, heavily soiled with non-fungal debris (such as dirt, dust, etc), or difficult to reach with a tape lift.
Air samples are used to assess the types and levels of mold present in the air of the home. Air samples can be helpful in identifying mold issues that are impacting the indoor air quality of the home. Surface samples are done to determine the condition of building materials. Surface samples can help determine if discoloration on a surface is mold growth, and if so what kind of mold is present.
Yes, collecting an outdoor air sample is absolutely critical when sampling for airborne mold. Since there are no established “acceptable” levels for mold in the indoor environment, we must use a real time “control” sample collected from the outdoor air to provide a reference point for the types and concentrations of the naturally occurring mold in the air at the time of the assessment. Without an outdoor air sample, very little interpretation of your results can be made.
No, we can not determine the age of growth from any type of mold testing. This is of secondary importance for the vast majority of mold testing, though, as the focus is more on remediation.
