Inspecting Homes for Your Peace of Mind
Mold Inspections
Top Notch Home Inspections LLC now offers mold inspections. We will check your roof, exterior, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, attics, and interior for signs of water intrusion. We check moisture, humidity and temperature, the things mold needs to grow. If we find mold, we offer testing as well.
When Do You Need a Mold Inspection?
- The home has a history of water damage — floods, leaks, roof issues, plumbing failures. Water history means mold risk.
- The seller's disclosure mentions mold or water issues — Oklahoma requires sellers to disclose known mold or water damage. If it's on the disclosure, investigate further.
- You smell something musty — Your nose knows. Musty odors indicate active fungal growth somewhere.
- Visible staining on walls or ceilings — Even if it "looks old," that staining could indicate contamination that was covered up rather than remediated.
- The property was vacant for extended periods — Empty homes often have HVAC issues, poor ventilation, and unaddressed moisture problems.
- Older homes with basement or crawlspace — These areas are notorious for hidden moisture issues, especially in Oklahoma's climate.
- Anyone in your household has respiratory issues or mold sensitivity — Knowing before you move in is worth the investment.
