Not every inspector just looks for cracks and leaks.

Sometimes the real story is what’s growing where you can’t see it.

Mold doesn’t care about fresh paint or a staged living room. It cares about moisture, poor ventilation, and the spaces no one checks until it’s a problem.

As a home inspector, I don’t just identify visible issues — I look for the conditions that let mold take hold: hidden leaks, crawlspace humidity, attic condensation, and HVAC problems that quietly feed it.

If you’re buying, selling, or just want peace of mind in your own home, a proper inspection can catch these issues early.

Curious about what’s really going on behind the walls? Let’s talk.
