Mold Warning Signs Checker

This checker collects observations that can help describe a moisture problem in your home. Select signs you have already noticed in accessible areas, such as a recurring stain, a musty odor or condensation. Do not open a wall, disturb visible growth or enter an unsafe attic or crawlspace to search for more signs. The room and timing of an observation matter more than reaching a particular total.

The result changes as boxes are selected. It is a general guide, not a test result, a mold identification or an assessment of health effects. Several signs can come from the same leak, and few selected signs cannot rule out concealed moisture. A single persistent wet area can still need investigation.

Use the result to decide what information to bring to a discussion about moisture inspection or cleanup. Testing is considered when it can answer a defined question; visible mold does not automatically require sampling. Note recent leaks, attempted repairs and where conditions return. Your selections stay in this browser and are not submitted to Reno StormGuard. Print the observations for reference, or reset the checker when reviewing a different part of the house.
