You suspect mold but can't see it. Our detection process uses professional equipment and trained expertise to find what's hidden.
A collection of our customer reviews and experiences from our Google Business Profile.
You know something's off in your house. Maybe it's a musty smell you can't trace, or a room that leaves you feeling stuffy every time you walk in, even though nothing looks wrong. Whatever triggered your search, we hear this every week from Mapleton homeowners, and we can usually pinpoint the source on a single visit. Call us, and we'll come out and find what's hiding.
The most common call we get starts with a musty smell that has no visible source. You've already checked the obvious spots, moved furniture around, and the smell is still hanging around. Another common trigger is health symptoms that track with being home — congestion or headaches or asthma that settles down when you leave for work and comes back a couple hours after you get in the door.
Condensation showing up again and again on windows or cold water pipes is a quieter signal that moisture is collecting somewhere you can't see. This one catches a lot of people off guard here, because Utah County is dry and nobody expects a moisture problem in a place where the air strips your lips by February. But dry outside doesn't mean dry inside. A tightly sealed home running a humidifier all winter, a swamp cooler that ran too long into a humid August, snowmelt coming off the Wasatch benches in March — any of those can put water where it doesn't belong.
And if you had a plumbing leak or a burst pipe a few years back that everyone said was sorted, there's a fair chance something grew inside a wall that never dried out properly. Mapleton homes with unfinished or partially finished basements are especially prone to this, and spring runoff off the mountain raises the risk again every year.
Detection is detective work, and the right tools only matter in the hands of someone who knows how to read them.
Our NORMI trained inspectors start by walking the property with you, listening to what you've noticed and where you've noticed it. Airflow carries odors from hidden pockets in fairly predictable ways, and we know how to follow them back to the source.
Then we bring in the equipment. Moisture meters and protimeters read through walls, ceilings, and floors, so we can see where water is sitting behind a finished surface. Hygrometers measure humidity in enclosed spaces, which is how we find the microclimates where mold gets its foothold. If something concealed looks likely, we can collect an air or surface sample and send it to an independent lab for confirmation.
A typical visit runs one to three hours depending on the size of the property.
Detection pricing depends on the size of your home and how hard the problem is to track down. A smell localized to one room is a shorter visit than a whole house where symptoms are scattered and nobody knows where to start.
You'll get a clear quote before we begin, and that quote is what you pay at the end. No surprises on the invoice.
Skipping a proper detection tends to be the expensive choice in the long run. You can end up paying for remediation in the wrong place, then watching the same problem come back six months later.
We've assessed hundreds of homes across Mapleton, Springville, Spanish Fork, and the rest of Utah County, and we know how moisture behaves in homes built against the mountain. We know where it collects in basements and crawl spaces, and we know what a winter of sealed windows and running humidifiers does to a house that already has a moisture issue.
That local experience, paired with NORMI training and the right equipment, means we find things other inspectors walk past. Same day appointments are usually available, and every visit is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If we do confirm hidden mold, we can often treat it without tearing into walls, thanks to our VaPURE process.
Call Pure Air Restored at 385-685-3825 when you know something isn't right and you want it found today. We'll send a NORMI trained inspector out, usually same day, and we won't leave until we've figured out what's going on.
