The IAQ Health Method
How an IAQ Health Inspection Works
A consistent, visual workflow from the first walkthrough to the final report. Built for HVAC professionals in the field.
01Inspect
Return, supplies, AHU, plenums, air ducts. A standardized inspection protocol for residential HVAC systems: moisture, filter bypass, duct design, suspect microbial growth, and testing.
- 02
Document
Using the Mold Sentinel app, technicians document photos, observations, and recommendations onsite. AI assists with report generation, and the technician reviews and approves the homeowner report before delivery.
03Analyze
Mold samples are shipped to an independent, accredited laboratory for analysis. AI-assisted chain-of-custody form and pre-labeled overnight shipping simplify dispatch and support rapid laboratory turnaround.
- 04
Report
Two reports from one inspection: first, a homeowner-friendly Mold Sentinel report; then, a custom HVAC Mold Analysis Report combining the inspection findings with independent laboratory results for technician review and delivery.

Industry Guidance
What Industry Authorities Say About HVAC Cleanliness and Mold
The IAQH inspection method lines up with guidance from the organizations that set HVAC and indoor air standards.
ASHRAE
Sets HVAC design and ventilation standards
ASHRAE recognizes that moisture and accumulated dust can support mold and other microbial growth inside HVAC systems. Its guidance emphasizes moisture control, effective filtration, proper drainage, and access for inspection and cleaning.
Source: ASHRAE position documentsU.S. EPA
Federal environmental agency
EPA recognizes that moisture in HVAC systems can support mold growth and that spores may enter living spaces. Its guidance calls for correcting the underlying moisture problem, considering cleaning where substantial visible mold is present, and replacing wet or moldy duct insulation.

HVAC cleaning industry association
NADCA recognizes that moisture in HVAC systems can support mold growth. Its guidance emphasizes correcting moisture problems, physically removing contamination, cleaning the entire system rather than ducts alone, and verifying cleanliness.

When and Why to Test for Mold
Confirm suspected mold
Distinguish mold from look-alike material and investigate evidence of growth within HVAC components.
Investigate sources and pathways
Compare material entering return ducts, suspect growth inside the system and findings at supply outlets to help understand potential movement into living spaces.
Support a forensic investigation
Document findings and inform further investigation or corrective work, including when occupants have mold-related health concerns.
Testing complements inspection and moisture assessment. Surface samples do not prove airborne release, and environmental results do not diagnose illness or establish its cause.
