Check mold risk for any address
How to check mold risk using only an address: enter it and the model reads climate, terrain, building records and disclosure history for that property. No inspection, no access, no email required.
What an address alone produces — worked example, illustrative figures
| Module | Weight | What it read | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regional Moisture Burden | 20 | Postal-code climate profile: humidity, annual rainfall, flood and storm exposure. | 13.4 |
| Terrain and Drainage | 10 | Elevation and slope at the coordinates. Low-lying relative to surroundings. | 6.0 |
| Building Vulnerability | 25 | Parcel record: built 1994, stucco cladding, full basement. Construction year verified. | 18.2 |
| Disclosure and Event History | 45 | No disclosure uploaded. Federal hazard exposure only. | Not analysed |
| Data completeness | — | Three of four modules analysed; construction year verified from a parcel record. | Reported alongside the score, not folded into it |
What you get from an address alone
A score with its band, the drivers that produced it, and a data-completeness figure reported separately so you can tell a well-founded estimate from a thin one.
The drivers are the useful part. "Elevated, 55" tells you where the property sits. "Elevated, 55, driven by 1994 construction with stucco cladding, a full basement and low-lying terrain" tells you what to ask about and where an inspector should start.
No email, no payment and no access to the property is required to get this far. The free check is deliberately gateless because the decision it supports — is this worth looking at more closely — is not one anyone should have to pay to make.
Coverage
The full model runs in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Those are the states where the soil and terrain profiles are built out and where the statutory disclosure forms can be read and normalised — the PA SPD, the NJ SPCDS and the DE SDCR.
Addresses outside those three states still score. What is missing is the disclosure layer, which is the largest module, so a score there rests on climate, terrain and building data alone. The report says which modules were analysed rather than presenting a partial score as a complete one.
What it cannot tell you
Whether there is mold in the building. The model never enters the property and nothing it reads would change if a colony started growing today. It estimates conditions.
Whether the building has been maintained. A regraded lot, a replaced roof or a corrected drain rarely reaches a record, so a well-kept property in a vulnerable category will score as its category until someone tells the model otherwise.
Anything about the health of the people in it. That is a question for a clinician with the person in front of them, and a property estimate has nothing to contribute in either direction.
What an undisclosed history contains. Silence in the record is not evidence of absence, and the model cannot distinguish the two.
Questions people ask
- Do I need the owner's permission?
- No. Everything the model reads is either public record or commercially available property data. Nothing about the check touches the building or notifies anyone.
- How long does it take?
- The address lookup and scoring run against several external data sources, so it is a matter of seconds rather than instant. Where a source is unavailable the report says which module was affected instead of quietly substituting a default.
- Can I check a property I do not own?
- Yes, and that is the common case — buyers checking before an offer, agents checking a listing, landlords checking a portfolio.
- What if my address is not found?
- New construction and recently subdivided parcels are the usual causes. The geocoder falls back through several sources, and where none resolves the address the check says so rather than scoring a nearby one.
