Mold
Air and surface sampling for mold and for spore counts higher than what's outside your front door — plus the moisture conditions that let it grow in the first place, so the answer doesn't stop at "yes."
Air, swab, tape-lift and bulk samplesA certified inspector visits, an AIHA-accredited lab runs the samples, and you get a complete, scientist-reviewed report within 48 hours of the inspection — not the one to three weeks the industry treats as normal.
We test. We don't fix. Hoom does testing and inspection only. We never bid on the repair work, so the report says what we found and stops there.

We started with mold, because roughly 47% of US homes have dampness or mold. We kept going, because a house doesn't care which category its problem falls into — and neither should the people testing it.
Air and surface sampling for mold and for spore counts higher than what's outside your front door — plus the moisture conditions that let it grow in the first place, so the answer doesn't stop at "yes."
Air, swab, tape-lift and bulk samplesParticulates, humidity, ventilation and the airborne conditions of the rooms you actually sleep and breathe in, measured room by room, on site — the only way the numbers mean anything.
On-site readingsSampling for common household contaminants, so a vague worry about "something in the house" becomes a specific line item with a number next to it.
Lab-analyzedEvidence of infestation and the entry points, droppings and structural damage that come with it — photographed and located, so what we saw is in the file rather than in someone's recollection.
Evidence & entry pointsNo sales visit, no "free inspection" that turns into a quote for demolition. You book a test, and what you get back is a test result.
Your ZIP, the room, and what you're seeing or smelling. You get a price before anything is scheduled, and the quote costs nothing.
One of 100+ vetted inspectors walks the property, takes moisture and humidity readings, photographs conditions, and collects samples using ASTM-referenced methods — published standards for how a sample should be taken for a lab to stand behind it.
Samples go to an independent laboratory accredited by the AIHA — an accrediting body that audits environmental labs for competence. Our AI drafts the analysis from the lab data and the inspector's findings, and a Hoom scientist reviews and verifies every result before anything is released.
A complete written report, 1–2 business days after the inspection. If something needs fixing, we'll refer vetted local pros. Who you hire is entirely your call.
Step one takes a ZIP code and about a minute.
Start with step oneA lot of mold inspections are free. There's a reason for that: the company doing the looking is the company that sells the removal.
That's not a comment on anyone's character — it's a comment on structure. When the person searching for a problem is the same person who gets paid to take it out, the incentive points one direction, and it isn't yours.
Hoom does testing and inspection only. We're not a restoration company with a testing department. Our product is an accurate answer — including the answer you're hoping for, which is that nothing is wrong.
No restoration division waiting in the next room, no dehumidifier rental, no scope of work drawn up on the spot. There is no demo crew to keep busy and no removal invoice at the end of this — which is the whole point.
If the report finds something, we'll introduce vetted local pros who do that work. Hiring is your decision, and the report is yours — take it to any contractor you like.
The report is written and verified before any pro is introduced. What we found never depends on who might end up doing the work.
Full disclosure: when you hire a pro we've introduced, Hoom may earn a referral fee. We say so plainly because you should know how we make money. What we never do is perform the remediation ourselves — so no one at Hoom decides what needs fixing, quotes the work, or does it.
Ninety-five percent of our customers come to us organically, not from an ad. People send us to their neighbors after we've told them their house is fine. That only works if the answer is the product.
Not a verbal summary at the door. Not a PDF of photos with no interpretation. A written report with lab numbers, plain-language findings, and a scientist's verification on every result.

"We'd been chasing a smell for months and getting nowhere. The report told us which wall it was in — and that the rest of the house was clean."
"Our landlord wanted proof, not a complaint. We had a lab-backed report two days after the inspection and the conversation changed completely."
"They found nothing. I have never been so happy to pay for a piece of paper — and I believed it, because the people who tested weren't the people who'd get paid to rip out a wall."
Your ZIP is all it takes to find out whether we cover you.
Get my quoteYour quote covers the whole thing: the inspection, the accredited-lab analysis, and the full written report within 48 hours of the visit. Getting a quote is free and there's no obligation attached to it.
That happens often, and it's a real result — not a wasted appointment. You still get the complete report: the readings, the lab numbers, the rooms we cleared, and the reasoning. Being able to prove a house is fine is worth having, whether the person who needs convincing is a landlord, a buyer, or you at 2am.
If yours isn't here, call us. We don't sell remediation, so the call is about your situation, not a repair quote.
Call (424) 274-7425Your full report arrives within 48 hours — 1–2 business days after the inspection. The industry norm is one to three weeks, often because reports are still written by hand after the fact. Ours are drafted the moment the lab data lands, then verified by a scientist before release.
It depends entirely on what's growing, how much of it there is, and where — which is exactly what a test establishes. Your report gives you the species present, the levels found in each room, and how those levels compare with the air outside your own front door, because an indoor spore count means nothing without that comparison.
What we won't do is tell you what it will do to your health. We're a testing company, not a medical provider — so the report is written to be handed straight to a doctor, an insurer or a contractor, all of them reading the same numbers instead of a guess.
No — deliberately. Hoom does testing and inspection only. If your report finds something that needs work, we'll introduce vetted local pros who handle remediation, and you decide who to hire. The report is yours and you're welcome to take it to any contractor you like.
When you hire a pro we've introduced, Hoom may earn a referral fee. We never do the remediation ourselves, so the findings are written before anyone is introduced — and you're free to ignore the introduction entirely.
That happens often, and it's a real result — not a wasted appointment. You still get the complete report: the readings, the lab numbers, the rooms we cleared, and the reasoning. Roughly 47% of US homes have dampness or mold, which means a great many don't, and being able to prove it is worth having.
A typical residential inspection runs $450–$800, starting around $400 for smaller jobs. Larger or more extensive properties can exceed $1,000. Price depends on square footage, how many samples are needed, access, and whether you're adding air quality, toxins or pests to the scope. Your quote covers the inspection, the lab work and the report — and getting the quote is free.
Hoom operates in 31 US metros with a network of 100+ vetted, certified inspectors, and we're adding coverage steadily. The fastest way to find out is your ZIP code — put it in the quote form or read it to us on the phone, and we'll tell you before anything else happens. If we can't reach you yet, we'll say so plainly and that's the end of it.
A certified inspector from our vetted network — credentialed through industry bodies such as InterNACHI, a trade association that certifies home inspectors. They collect samples using ASTM-referenced methods, document conditions with photographs, and take moisture and humidity readings throughout. They don't quote repair work, because Hoom doesn't do repair work.
Partly, and we'd rather tell you than have you wonder. Lab data and the inspector's documentation go through an AI-assisted analysis that drafts the findings — that's how we get to 48 hours instead of three weeks. A Hoom scientist then reviews and verifies every result before it's released to you.
To be clear about what it isn't: the report is a finished document, not a chatbot. Every number in it has been checked by a person.
It's yours. Send it to a landlord, attach it to a purchase negotiation, hand it to a contractor for a bid, or file it with an insurer. Because we don't sell remediation, the findings aren't attached to a quote for our own services — which tends to make them easier for a third party to take at face value.
No cost, no obligation, no sales visit. We'll confirm we cover your area, send your price, and offer the earliest inspection slots near you. If we're not the right call for your situation, we'll tell you that instead.
Your ZIP is the first thing we look at, before anything is quoted or booked. If we can't reach you yet, we'll tell you and that's the end of it — no follow-up, no sales call.
