Why mold shows up in Accident
Accident sits high in Garrett County’s mountains, and its climate writes the mold story. Long, snowy winters and humid summers put building envelopes through hard freeze-thaw cycles, while a mix of older year-round homes, farmhouses, and seasonal cabins — many on well water and set on rural, wooded lots — creates plenty of cool, damp, slow-drying spaces where moisture collects.
Homes that sit unheated or closed up through part of the year, crawl spaces and basements cut into cold mountain ground, and the region’s real summer humidity all add up to hidden-moisture conditions that inspectors passing through rarely account for. An independent, remediation-free assessment gives Garrett County owners an honest read on what the mountain climate has done.
Most inspectors find mold. We find answers.
AMOLDBUSTER inspects and advises only — no remediation, no referral fees, ever. Because we don’t profit from the cleanup, our only job in Accident is to tell you the truth: what’s happening, why, and a clear action plan. We go deeper than a standard spore count for CIRS, MCAS, Lyme, and immune-compromised clients other inspectors overlook.
Every air sample comes with an outdoor control
Indoor spore counts cannot be meaningfully interpreted without a contemporaneous outdoor control, because indoor spore populations derive substantially from outdoor air. A report showing indoor counts with no outdoor reference is not defensible. Many firms skip it on screening work to save a sample. We do not, and we never have.

What you receive
A thorough walkthrough with moisture mapping and, where warranted, air or surface sampling sent to an independent accredited laboratory — then a written Field Findings Summary in plain English: what we found, what it means, and a prioritized blueprint you can hand to your physician, attorney, or a remediation contractor of your choosing.

Guided virtual investigations are available in 47 states, and consultation is available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
What we will and will not say about your home
We do not certify a space. We will not describe any building or room as safe, healthy, or suitable for any person or for any named condition. We describe conditions found and work performed, and we issue no clearance letters and no letters of suitability.
There are no accepted thresholds. There are currently no generally accepted regulatory or scientific threshold exposure limits for mold or microbial contamination in indoor environments. We interpret results contextually and will not certify a property against a threshold that does not exist.
We are not physicians. We do not diagnose, treat or interpret clinical laboratory results, and we will not state that any environmental finding caused any symptom or condition. Those judgments belong to licensed healthcare professionals.
