Extensive drywall colonies

Bathroom shower ceiling
"Steam trap at the ceiling corner with visible biofilm. Classic Cladosporium pattern. Check caulk lines and grout for follow-on colonies."
Indoor wall discoloration
"Moisture wicking visible from baseboard upward. Rust on adjacent fixture suggests growth older than 6 months. not tenant-caused."
Basement wall colonies
"Dark patches on concrete where cold foundation meets humid air. Likely cause: inadequate basement dehumidification or groundwater seepage."
Shower liner discoloration
"Pink-orange streaks consistent with Serratia bacteria (not true mold but feeds mold). Replace liner and monitor grout for 30 days."
Grout line darkening
"Uncertain. could be mold OR embedded soap scum. Recommend scrubbing test and rescan in 7 days to confirm biofilm vs dirt."
Built on the same research the CDC and EPA use.
Our checklist and our AI are built straight from the same research used by the EPA, the WHO, Harvard, and the rulebook every real mold inspector follows.
If you can see mold, you have to fix it. Mold will keep growing until you stop the water.
Living in a damp, moldy home raises your risk of asthma and breathing problems by 30 to 50 percent.
Mold spores can give even healthy people a stuffy nose, wheezing, red eyes, and skin rash.
About 47 percent of US homes have visible mold or water damage that needs fixing right now.
Exposure to indoor dampness and mold is associated with increased risk of respiratory symptoms, asthma, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Areas exceeding 10 square feet of mold contamination require professional remediation with containment, HEPA filtration, and post-clearance testing.
What is IICRC S520 in plain English?
The IICRC S520 is the official rulebook that every real mold inspector in the United States follows. It tells a pro exactly where to look in your home, how to tell real mold from a water stain, and when the problem is bad enough to call a specialist. Our app checks the same 160 spots the rulebook tells pros to check. Same list, same logic, on your phone, in five minutes.

Forensic report

Other mold apps miss the mold that makes you sick.
We tested every competitor on the App Store. They all share the same flaws. We fixed them.
160 hotspots vs their 15
Competitors give you a 15-item generic list. We walk you through all 160 spots a certified inspector checks across 12 rooms.
Forensic reasoning, not a snapshot
We infer how long mold has been there (rust on fixtures), where water's coming from (ceiling cracks), and whether it's your fault. Others just say "mold: yes/no."
Honest about hidden mold
30-50% of mold hides in walls, HVAC, subfloor. Every other app pretends to find everything. We tell you exactly what a moisture meter would catch that a camera can't.

Real questions. Straight answers.
Is this a replacement for a professional inspection?
No. and we'll tell you so on every report. Mold Scanner AI is a forensic triage tool. Around 65-70% of mold is visible to a smartphone camera. The other 30-35% hides inside walls, HVAC, under flooring. For anything we flag as uncertain, or for high-stakes situations (real estate, litigation, insurance), hire a certified inspector. We help you know when to call them.
What makes this "forensic" vs other mold apps?
Other apps look at a photo and say "mold: yes/no." We cross-reference visible mold against rust patterns on fixtures (which estimate how long the mold has been there), ceiling cracks and staining (which point to the water source), and your own symptoms (matched to common mold types). The output isn't a verdict. it's a case file.
How fast is it really?
5 minutes for a quick scan (25 highest-risk spots). 15-20 minutes for the full 160-hotspot walkthrough. The AI processing takes ~3 seconds per photo. You walk your home with a friend narrating. we do the rest.
How do you protect my photos?
Photos go to our Vercel-hosted API, get processed by the vision model, and are NEVER stored on our servers. EXIF location data is stripped before upload. Nothing is used for training without your explicit opt-in. All traffic is HTTPS encrypted.
