One Problem Can Involve a Lot of Moving Pieces

Each part of the process answers a different question about the home.

CLEAR connects those pieces, with HomeCleanse helping guide the process from one stage to the next.

Understand What May Be Present

We compare information from your home with information from your body to see where the two may align and help inform what comes next.

The Dust Test uses PCR technology to screen settled dust from your home for 36 mold species.

The MycoTOX Profile from Mosaic Diagnostics analyzes a urine sample for 11 mycotoxins.

Together, these two datasets can be reviewed side by side to look for areas of potential alignment and help determine whether further investigation of the home may be appropriate.

We have information about what may be present.

What may be present in the home?

This may be where we begin if…

  • You feel different at home.

  • A health professional suggested looking at your environment.

  • There has been water damage.

  • You have concerns but don’t yet know what’s happening.

Correlate can give us useful information when the answer isn’t already clear.

Find Where It’s Coming From and Why

Finding mold gives us one piece of information. A whole-home inspection helps us understand the rest.

Inspection by WeInspect, shared with permission.

A WeInspect inspector looks beyond the obvious area to investigate moisture, potential sources, affected materials, building conditions, and other areas that may be involved.

What are we trying to understand?

Where is the problem, how far does it extend, and why is it happening?

Remediation Is More Than Removing What You Can See

Once we understand the problem, mold remediation can be built around what was actually found.

The work is complete.

Next: Attest

Independently Verify the Outcome

After remediation, WeInspect independently evaluates the environment against predetermined criteria to determine whether the remediation has met the requirements for post-remediation verification.

Here’s one home, start to finish. Every home is different; this is what the process can look like when the pieces work together.

  1. STARTThe starting point

    This home started at Locate, with a whole-home inspection.

  2. LLocate

    A WeInspect inspector sampled 37 locations. Nine were marked top priority, across the bathrooms, living areas and attic, and the HVAC system was flagged too.

  3. EEliminate

    Opening up the affected areas showed growth that couldn’t be seen from inside the room. HomeCleanse remediated according to the inspection findings and the agreed scope.

  4. AAttest

    The first round of independent verification by WeInspect cleared 9 of the 15 areas tested and flagged 6. We went back, addressed those 6, and the retest passed.

  5. RRemain

    The homeowner added Guardian monitoring.

Questions About the CLEAR Process

Don’t see yours? Our team can walk you through it.

Do I always need to start with Correlate?

No. Correlate is useful when we need more information about whether mold may be present. If you already know there’s a mold problem, we may begin with a whole-home inspection instead.

If I can see mold, why do I still need an inspection?

Visible mold tells us where you’ve found growth. It doesn’t necessarily tell us the source, how far the problem extends, whether adjacent materials are affected, or whether another area of the home is involved.

A whole-home inspection helps us understand the full picture before remediation is planned.

Who performs the inspection?

WeInspect performs the whole-home inspection, investigating moisture, potential sources, affected materials, building conditions, and other areas that may be involved. Their findings help establish the source, extent, and appropriate remediation scope.

Does HomeCleanse perform the post-remediation verification?

No. Post-remediation verification is performed independently by WeInspect so HomeCleanse is not the company evaluating its own remediation work.

What happens if the home doesn’t pass post-remediation verification?

The findings help identify what still needs attention. We come back and address those items at no additional cost, then the environment is evaluated again, until it passes.

What if I’ve already completed part of this process?

Bring us what you have.

Our team can review existing test results, inspection findings, remediation information, or other relevant documentation and help determine what information may still be needed.

Do I need to coordinate all of these companies myself?

No. Part of CLEAR is helping keep the environmental process connected so you understand what is happening, who is involved, and what comes next.

How long does CLEAR take?

Timing depends on the home, findings, scope of work, scheduling, and whether additional work is needed along the way. Once we understand your situation, our team can give you a clearer idea of what to expect.

Will I need to leave my home during remediation?

This can depend on the remediation scope and conditions in the home. Our team will explain what applies to your project before work begins.

What does CLEAR cost?

Cost depends on what your home needs and which parts of the process apply. Once we understand your situation, our team can walk you through what to expect.

Do you work in my area?

HomeCleanse works with homes across the United States and internationally. Tell us where you are and our team will explain what’s available for your home.
