Mold Inspection App for US Surveyors
In short
DampApp Pro lets US home inspectors document mold and moisture on-site: calculate dew point and psychrometric values on the device, capture timestamped photos (EXIF-derived where available), and export full watermarked PDF reports — all natively offline on the generous free tier. Pro optionally adds cloud sync and white-label PDF branding.
Official source and scope
The US EPA says there are no EPA or other federal limits for mold or mold spores, so sampling cannot demonstrate compliance with a federal mold standard. State and local rules, licensing and landlord-tenant obligations vary; confirm the requirements for the property and jurisdiction. DampApp Pro records observations and is not legal, environmental or remediation advice.
US EPA: Mold Testing or SamplingMold inspections across the US span a wide range of climates — humid Gulf and Southeastern summers, cold-climate condensation in the Northeast and Midwest, and HVAC-driven moisture problems almost everywhere. DampApp Pro gives American inspectors a consistent way to record severe condensation and ventilation failures.
Document moisture clearly
1. On-device dew-point and psychrometrics
Enter dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity (in °F or °C) to calculate dew point on the device, helping you show why moisture is condensing on cold surfaces and supporting your remediation recommendations.
2. Timestamped photo evidence (EXIF-derived where available)
Each photo carries its EXIF-derived capture time (or attachment time when EXIF is unavailable), giving you a dated visual record of conditions at the time of inspection.
3. Offline PDF reports
Generate comprehensive PDF reports on the device without any cellular reception — useful in crawl spaces, basements and vacant properties.
Habitability and disclosure in the US
Across most US states, residential leases carry an implied warranty of habitability, and several states require some form of mold disclosure or address mold within their habitability and landlord-tenant frameworks. The specifics vary state by state. A clear, dated inspection record helps owners, managers and inspectors document the condition of a property and the basis for any remediation — and DampApp Pro is built to capture that record.
This is part of a wider international move toward enforceable rental housing-condition standards, from the UK's Renters' Rights Act 2025 to New Zealand's Healthy Homes Standards.
US mold inspection — FAQs
Is there a single federal mold standard for US inspections?▾
No. There is no single federal mold standard for residential property. Inspectors commonly reference ASTM and IICRC guidance, the ICC family of codes (such as the IRC), and state-level habitability and disclosure rules, which vary considerably. A clear, dated inspection record helps document conditions against the framework that applies in your state — confirm the current requirements before relying on them.
Can DampApp Pro record temperatures in Fahrenheit?▾
Yes. Enter dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity in °F or °C and the app calculates dew point on the device, supporting your explanation of why moisture is condensing on cold surfaces and the basis for any remediation recommendation.
Does it work offline in crawl spaces and basements?▾
Yes. The generous free tier supports full offline surveys and watermarked PDF export with no cellular reception — useful in crawl spaces, basements and vacant properties. Pro optionally adds cloud sync when you reconnect and white-label PDF branding.
Can I use reports for habitability and insurance discussions?▾
Yes. DampApp Pro produces dated PDF reports with EXIF-derived photo times (with attachment-time fallback). Free reports carry the DampApp Pro watermark; optional Pro adds white-label branding for owners, property managers, attorneys and insurer discussions.
For US inspectors and property managers
Use DampApp Pro for mold and moisture diagnostics, or PropertySurvey Pro for whole-property condition reports.
