To test for mold in a house, start by looking for visible signs like black spots or a musty smell, especially in damp areas like basements or bathrooms. You can buy a DIY mold test kit at a hardware store; it usually involves taking a sample with a swab or tape and sending it to a lab for analysis. For a more thorough check, hire a professional inspector who uses moisture meters and air sampling to detect hidden mold behind walls or under floors.

Whether insurance will pay for a mold test depends heavily on your policy and the cause. Most standard homeowners insurance excludes mold testing and remediation unless the mold resulted from a covered peril, like a sudden pipe burst. If the mold is due to long-term neglect or humidity, you're likely paying for the test out-of-pocket. Always call your insurer first to clarify coverage before scheduling any test.
