Can I Do a Mold Inspection Myself? What Homeowners Should Know
You can check your home for obvious signs of mold, but a DIY mold inspection has limits. Mold often hides behind drywall, under flooring, inside cabinets, around plumbing, and in HVAC-related areas where homeowners can’t easily see it. This guide explains what you can safely look for yourself, what signs matter most, why air tests and swabs don’t always locate the source, and when mold dog inspections may be the better next step. If your home smells musty, has a water damage history, or still feels wrong after testing, it may be time to stop guessing.
