Mold and moisture inspection · Boise, Meridian, NampaA free look first. Numbers when you need them.
Something smells off. A stain came back after it was painted. Someone in the house coughs at home and stops coughing on vacation. The free visit answers one question about one spot, out loud, before the tech leaves. The $279 Full Inspection puts instruments on the whole house and ends in a written report you keep, and the fee comes off the job if you hire us.

Home Health Snapshot
Describe what you are seeing or smelling and a person who does this work answers you. If it needs eyes, a certified tech comes out and looks at the one area you called about. No charge, no obligation, and nothing in writing.
- A moisture meter on the material you are worried about
- The same reading taken on a dry spot in the same building, so the number means something
- Temperature and relative humidity in that room
- The obvious source, if there is one: the sink, the water heater, the window, the crawlspace hatch
- A straight answer out loud before the tech leaves
You hear one of three things: this is fine, this is worth watching, or this needs instruments on the whole house. If nothing is wrong, that is what you hear, and the visit ends there.

The whole house
and a written report$279
One technician, one visit, instruments on every part of the house a moisture or air problem can hide in, and a written report in your portal at the end of it.
- Thermal imaging and moisture detection
- LiDAR moisture mapping and humidity testing
- Crawlspace and attic inspection
- Wall-cavity imaging and odor source tracing
- A written report with readings, photos, and next steps
Credited in full against the job if you hire Peak. No minimum, no expiry.
If the visit turns into a covered claim, the fee goes on the estimate as the emergency service call, which is the carrier's line rather than yours.
For when the free visit finds something, or when you want the whole building on record before you decide anything.
Everything the visit coversNo written report. The free visit covers the one area you called about, not the whole house, and the answer is spoken rather than documented. That is the honest limit of what a no-charge visit can be. If you need readings across the building, photos, and a report you can hand to an agent, a lender, or an adjuster, that is the Full Inspection.
What the $279 visit covers
A musty smell in a hallway can source three levels away from where you smell it. That is why the paid visit is the whole house and the free one is not. This is the Full Inspection sweeping one building, instrument by instrument. The diagram follows as you read.
01
It starts with what you noticed
Most of these inspections start with something small: a musty smell in a hallway, a stain that came back after it was painted over, a cough that clears up when you leave the house. The room side of a wall tells you almost nothing. The instruments are for everything behind it.
02
Thermal imaging
An infrared camera reads surface temperature. Wet material holds temperature differently than dry, so a cold patch on a warm wall marks moisture behind it, without opening anything. The camera finds candidates. It does not confirm them; that is the meter's job.
03
Moisture readings
Meter pins put numbers on what the camera flagged. Readings at the base of the wall, at 12 inches, at 24, the pattern says whether water is wicking up from below or coming in from above. Every number goes in the report with its location.
04
LiDAR mapping and humidity
A LiDAR scan from the phone maps the room, and our software places every reading on that map, so each number lands on a floor plan instead of in a notebook. Relative humidity and dew point get logged in the same pass, a house holding 60 percent humidity in this climate is making its own moisture problem.
05
The crawlspace
Under the floor: vapor barrier condition, standing moisture, insulation, and a humidity reading down where this valley's houses get wet first. This is where the visual mold assessment usually earns its place, growth starts where nobody looks.
06
The attic and ventilation
Up top: whether the attic is actually venting, whether the bath fan ducts outside or dumps into the insulation, staining on the sheathing. Basic air quality metrics get logged on the same pass, and the ventilation check ties the upstairs numbers to the downstairs ones.
07
One visit, the whole house
Pull back. One concern in a hallway became documented findings at five locations across three levels. That is the point of the inspection: the smell, the stain, and the crawlspace humidity are often the same problem showing up in three places, and one sweep finds the connection.
08
The report
You get a digital report: findings in plain language, the readings by location, photos and thermal images, and next steps in order. If remediation is recommended, a detailed estimate follows. If a finding is past what our instruments answer, we say so and recommend third-party testing.

Describe what you are seeing or smelling. A person who does this work reads it and responds within 24 hours. No charge for the answer or for the visit, whatever the answer turns out to be.
Describe the concern.
What you are seeing or smelling, when you first noticed it, whether the home has had water leaks before, whether anyone in the house has symptoms, coughing, unusual odors, visible discoloration, and how urgent it feels to you. Links to photos help if you have them.
We review it and respond within 24 hours.
A person who does this work reads it, not an autoresponder. The details you give, the season, the room, the history, usually narrow it down before anyone drives anywhere. If what you describe is a known problem with a known fix, we may say so on the phone and save you the visit.
A certified tech comes and looks at the one spot.
A meter on the material, temperature and relative humidity in the room, and the source checked if it is visible. You hear the answer while they are standing there. If the house needs instruments in every room and a report on paper, they say so, and the $279 Full Inspection is the next rung, on your call.
The review and the walk-through cost nothing and commit you to nothing. If the honest answer is that it is minor, or not our trade, that is the answer you get.
Describe your concern to book the free Snapshot
We respond within 24 hours. Sometimes the answer is the answer and no one has to drive anywhere. If you already want the whole house instrumented and a written report, say so below and we book the Full Inspection directly. If water is moving right now, call instead. The phone is faster.
What the Full Inspection covers
One technician, one visit, instruments on every part of the house a moisture or air problem can hide in, and a written report in your portal at the end of it. $279.
- Professional thermal imaging and moisture detection
- An infrared camera reads surface temperature differences that mark wet material behind walls and ceilings. The camera finds candidates; a moisture meter confirms them with numbers.
- LiDAR moisture mapping and humidity testing
- Readings pinned to a scan of the room, so the report shows where the problem is, not just that one exists. Relative humidity and dew point tell us whether the house is producing its own moisture.
- Basic air quality metrics and ventilation check
- How air is actually moving through the house, and coarse indicators of what is in it. This is instrument screening, not lab analysis, see the note on third-party testing below.
- Crawlspace and attic inspection
- The two places moisture problems start and nobody looks. Vapor barrier condition, insulation, ventilation, staining, standing moisture.
- Wall cavity imaging
- Seeing inside a closed wall without opening it.
- Visual mold assessment
- What is visible, where, and on what material. Identifying species takes lab testing, which we recommend separately when findings warrant it.
- Odor source investigation
- A musty smell has a source. We trace it to a material and a location instead of guessing from the hallway.
The $279 is credited in full against the job if you hire Peak for the work. There is no minimum job size for that and no window it expires in. If the visit turns into a covered claim, the fee goes on the estimate as the emergency service call, which is the carrier's line rather than yours.
The exact services performed are at the technician's discretion, based on your concern and what is appropriate for the home. A slab-on-grade house has no crawlspace to inspect. You are paying for the answer, not for a checklist to be recited.
What you get back
A written report in your customer portal, in language a homeowner can read. The free visit does not produce one. This is the thing the $279 buys that free cannot.
- Findings in plain language: what we found, where, and how we know.
- The readings, moisture levels by location, relative humidity, temperature differentials.
- Photos and thermal images of anything worth showing you.
- Clear next steps, in order: what needs attention now, what to watch, and what is fine.
You get a detailed estimate for any recommended remediation after the inspection, line items, not a figure over the phone. You know what the work costs before anyone touches the house.
Depending on findings, we may recommend specialized third-party testing: comprehensive mold testing, asbestos or lead hazmat testing, or an industrial hygienist evaluation. When a question is past what our instruments can answer, we say so and tell you who answers it.
3Peak Home Plan
Or make the Full Inspection annual
The Peak Home Plan is $18 a month, which is $216 a year. It includes the $279 Full Inspection once a year, and every dollar of dues comes back as two dollars of repair credit, up to $2,000.
How the Home Plan worksQuestions we get about the two visits
Is the Home Health Snapshot really free?
Yes. Describe the concern and a person who does this work answers you within 24 hours. If it needs eyes, a certified tech comes out to the one area you called about, puts a meter on the material, reads temperature and relative humidity in the room, and tells you what they find before they leave. No charge and no obligation. There is no written report with the free visit.
What is the difference between the Snapshot and the Full Inspection?
Scope and paperwork. The Snapshot is free and covers the one spot you called about: a meter on that material, humidity in that room, and a straight answer out loud. Nothing in writing. The Full Inspection is $279 and covers the whole house: thermal imaging, moisture meters, LiDAR mapping, humidity readings, wall-cavity imaging, crawlspace and attic, and odor source tracing, ending in a written report in your portal with readings and photos. The $279 is credited in full against the job if you hire us.
What does the Full Inspection cost?
$279, and it is credited in full against the job if you hire Peak for the work. There is no minimum job size and no expiry on the credit. The exact services performed are at the technician's discretion based on your concern and what is appropriate for the home. If remediation is recommended, you receive a detailed line-item estimate for that work after the inspection, before anything else happens.
Do I get the $279 back?
It comes off the job. If you hire Peak for the work the inspection recommends, the $279 is credited in full against that job, with no minimum and no window it expires in. If the visit turns into a covered claim, the fee goes on the estimate as the emergency service call, which is the carrier's line rather than yours. What a carrier chooses to pay is between you and the carrier.
Do I have to do the free Snapshot before the Full Inspection?
No. If you already know you want the whole house instrumented and a written report, say so in the form or on the phone and we book the Full Inspection directly. The free visit comes first for most people because it costs nothing and often answers the question in one spot.
Does the inspection include mold testing?
It includes a visual mold assessment: what is visible, where, and on what material. Lab identification of species is a different service, and when findings warrant it we recommend comprehensive third-party mold testing, hazmat testing for asbestos or lead, or an industrial hygienist evaluation rather than doing it halfway ourselves.
What happens after the inspection?
You get the written report in your portal: findings, readings by location, photos and thermal images, and next steps in order. If we recommend remediation, a detailed line-item estimate for that work follows, and the $279 is credited in full against it if you hire us. If we recommend third-party testing, we say which kind and why.
Is there a way to get the inspection every year?
Yes. The Peak Home Plan is $18 a month, or $216 a year, and includes the $279 Full Inspection once a year. Dues are also matched two to one into repair credit, capped at $2,000. Details are on the Peak Home Plan page.
