Pre-Purchase Mold Inspection

A pre-purchase mold inspection helps buyers understand mold and moisture conditions before closing. PureAir coordinates timing with your inspection window and provides findings you can share with your agent.

What to expect

A clear, property-specific scope

The inspector starts with the property history and the reason for the visit. Accessible areas within the agreed scope are reviewed, relevant measurements are documented, and sampling is recommended only when it can answer a defined question.

  • Property history and concern review
  • Visual assessment of relevant accessible areas
  • Clear findings and recommended next steps

Why buyers schedule a mold inspection

A general home inspection may note staining or moisture without investigating mold further. A focused mold inspection looks more closely at those observations, plus areas such as attics, crawl spaces, bathrooms and under-sink plumbing.

Working within the transaction timeline

Access is usually arranged through the listing agent. Tell us your contingency deadline so the inspection and any laboratory sampling can be planned to report within that window.

What you receive

You receive documented observations, moisture readings where taken and laboratory results when sampling was part of the scope. The report is written for buyers, agents and sellers to read.

Common questions

Should I test for mold before buying a home?

It is worth considering when the home inspection notes water staining, a musty odor or past leaks, or when the property has areas prone to moisture such as a crawl space.

Who arranges access to the property?

Access is normally coordinated through the listing agent. PureAir works with your agent to schedule a time that fits the contingency period.
