Mold Assessment Plan - Residential

Why we created the Mold Sense Home Risk Assessment Tool

After decades of treating mold-related illness and investigating contaminated buildings, we witnessed the same frustrating pattern: people bouncing between doctors who didn’t understand mold illness and remediation companies who only focused on the building – never the complete picture.

We Knew There Had To Be a Better Way

That’s why Dr. Andrew Heyman and Larry Schwartz joined forces to create Beyond Mold – America’s first complete solution that addresses both the health and home aspects of mold contamination. Our mission is simple: provide a clear roadmap to help you achieve a life without mold.

A Clear, Science-Based Path to a Healthier Home

• Assess

• Clean

• Maintain

• Protect

Your home plays a critical role in your health — especially when mold, moisture, and small-particle contamination are involved. The Beyond Mold For Home pathway gives you a medically informed, step-by-step framework to evaluate your living space, reduce harmful exposures, and maintain a healthy and stable indoor environment.

Phase I: Do I have a problem in my home?

The Mold Sense Home Risk Assessment tool will help you identify potential moisture sources and determine whether they may be impacting your indoor environment. Grab a high beam flashlight and use this tool to perform a visual inspection of the exterior and interior of your home. 

• You will be looking for exterior conditions that can lead to moisture entry such as failing caulk, roof or flashing concerns, gutters that discharge at the foundation, missing downspout extensions, and poor grading or drainage.

• You will be looking for interior conditions such as staining, bubbling or peeling paint, warped trim, musty odors, condensation, or any signs of past leaks.

The assessment tool will score 8 areas of your home and create a list of all areas that need correction or further assessment. The 8 areas include:

• Exterior

• Roofing

• Exterior Drainage

• Topography

• Foundation

• Interior Drainage

• HVAC

• Plumbing
