Mold can be a serious threat to both your property and your health. Often hidden from view, mold can grow in damp, dark areas of your home, leading to respiratory issues, allergies, and even structural damage. A professional mold inspection is the only way to accurately detect mold and assess the extent of the problem. Comprehensive mold inspection services from National Property Inspections provide the peace of mind you need to ensure your home is safe and healthy for you and your family.
Why Is Mold Testing Important?
- Protect Your Health: Mold exposure can cause a range of health problems, particularly for those with allergies, asthma, or weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, skin rashes, and more severe respiratory issues. Inspecting for mold helps you identify and address the source before it negatively impacts your health.
- Prevent Structural Damage: Mold can weaken the structural integrity of your home by feeding on building materials like wood, drywall, and insulation. Left untreated, mold can cause significant damage that requires costly repairs. Mold inspections help catch the problem early, preventing extensive damage.
- Peace of Mind: Whether you suspect mold or just want to ensure your home is safe, professional inspections provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing your living environment is healthy.

- Signs You Should Book a Mold Test
NPI inspectors start with a thorough consultation to understand your concerns and the areas of your home that may be affected. Here are a few things you might look for to determine whether you should schedule mold testing with NPI.
Musty Odor
A persistent musty smell, especially in certain areas of your home, can indicate the presence of mold, even if you can’t see it.
Water Damage or Leaks
Homes that have experienced water damage, leaks, or flooding are at high risk for mold growth. Testing is essential after any such incidents.
Visible Growth
If you see mold growing on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces, testing can determine the extent of the infestation and identify the type of mold present.
Health Symptoms
Unexplained allergic reactions or respiratory issues that seem to worsen at home could be caused by mold. Testing can confirm if mold is the culprit.
What Does an NPI Mold Inspection Include?
At NPI, our Certified Mold Inspectors perform mold inspections according to the standards set forth in the National Association of Mold Remediators and Inspectors (NAMRI). We offer two types of mold inspections: Partial and Full.
1. Partial Mold Inspection
For a partial mold inspection, areas of microbial growth will be sampled with direct sampling per the client’s request, as well as a minimum of two air samples. The samples will be examined by an accredited lab. NPI will process the results and deliver to the client shortly thereafter.
Someone may be interested in a partial mold inspection if he/she only has a specific location(s) of suspected microbial growth they want tested. Most people need a full inspection, however, as mold is not always visible and a full mold inspection is a more comprehensive approach involving mold concerns in a building.
2. Full Mold Inspection
For a full mold inspection, NPI mold inspectors examine all areas of the building, inside and out:
- Lots and grounds
- Exterior of the building, including walking the roof when possible
- Structural components of building
- Mechanicals, plumbing, HVAC
- Interior rooms, including accessible attics and crawl spaces
During this inspection, Certified Mold Inspectors pay special attention to areas that are likely to have higher moisture, including plumbing, kitchen appliances, bathrooms, fixtures, laundry equipment, attics, etc.
We use specialized equipment to discover issues in addition to what we observe by visual and olfactory (smell) observation. We traverse the interior with an infrared camera, looking for areas of potential concern behind walls and ceilings, conduct multiple instant air quality tests with an AirAdvice monitor, use a thermo hygrometer to determine conditions that promote mold growth, obtain air and surface sampling, etc. When there is an area of concern identified, further investigation and testing will be performed.
The client will receive a detailed Mold Inspection Report, identifying and explaining all mold concerns discovered at the property, including all lab reports, AirAdvice reports, and information on maintaining a healthier home.
