Mold Inspection in Nashville & Middle Tennessee

At SP&D Home Inspections, our professional mold inspections are designed to identify hidden moisture problems, fungal growth, and indoor air quality concerns that can affect both your home and your health.

Homes across Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee often experience mold due to humidity, roof leaks, plumbing leaks, crawlspace moisture, and poor ventilation. Mold can exist even when there is no visible staining.

What Is Mold and Why Is It Dangerous?

Mold is a type of fungus that grows where moisture is present. While some molds are harmless, others can cause allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and long-term health concerns. Mold also damages drywall, wood framing, insulation, and HVAC systems.

Because mold is often hidden behind walls, inside HVAC systems, or under flooring, professional testing is the only reliable way to determine indoor air quality conditions.

When to Order a Mold Inspection

• Musty odors or visible mold growth
• Recent roof, plumbing, or flood damage
• Respiratory irritation or allergy symptoms indoors
• Buying or selling a home
• Homes with crawlspaces or high humidity

How SP&D Performs Mold Testing

We perform visual inspections, moisture detection, and professional air or surface sampling when needed. Samples are analyzed by an independent laboratory and included in your written report.

• Indoor and outdoor air sampling for comparison

What Mold Results Mean

Mold reports identify spore counts and mold types found in the home. If elevated levels are detected, we explain the significance and recommend proper remediation steps so the problem can be corrected safely.
