Common Situations That Call for Mold Inspections

Mold inspections may be recommended in a variety of situations, including:

  • Buying or selling a home
  • Experiencing water leaks or flooding
  • Noticing musty or persistent odors
  • Seeing visible staining or discoloration
  • Living in areas with high humidity
  • Planning renovations that affect plumbing or ventilation

Inspections provide valuable insight and help guide informed next steps.

What Our Mold Inspections Cover

NorthStar Inspections evaluates accessible areas of the property for visible mold indicators and moisture-related concerns.

Inspection areas may include:

  • Attics and insulation areas
  • Crawl spaces and basements
  • Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas
  • Around plumbing fixtures and water heaters
  • Walls, ceilings, and flooring near moisture sources
  • Areas with past water damage

When appropriate, moisture readings and visual documentation are used to support findings.

Why Mold Inspections Are Important

Mold growth can spread quickly when moisture issues go unaddressed. In addition to damaging building materials, mold may affect indoor air quality and comfort. Identifying mold early can help reduce repair costs and support healthier indoor environments.


Mold inspections are commonly requested during real estate transactions, after water events, or when occupants notice musty odors or visible growth. Even when mold is not immediately apparent, inspections can help identify conditions that may lead to future issues.

Mold Testing and Sampling Information

In certain situations, mold sampling may be recommended to help identify the presence of mold spores. When testing is performed, results are presented clearly and explained in straightforward language.


NorthStar Inspections focuses on education and transparency. While we do not perform mold remediation, we help clients understand test results and common remediation options when further action may be needed.

Clear Reports That Support Confident Decisions

Every mold inspection includes a clear, easy-to-read report outlining observed conditions and findings. Reports include photos when applicable and explanations designed for non-technical readers.

Our reports help clients understand:

  • Where concerns were observed
  • Why conditions may support mold growth
  • What actions may be considered next

We believe information should empower property owners, not overwhelm them.
