Why Every Home Needs an Annual Home Health Check

A simple yearly visit that protects your home — and your wallet

Most homeowners don’t think about moisture, ventilation, or hidden leaks until something goes wrong. By then, the damage is often expensive, disruptive, and completely avoidable. That’s why Mountain Air Restoration offers two levels of annual inspections designed to catch small issues long before they turn into major repairs:

  • Home Health Check (HHC) – a full visual and moisture evaluation
  • Comprehensive Home Health Check (HHC + Air Sampling) – everything in the HHC plus airborne mold testing and lab analysis

Both options give you clarity, documentation, and peace of mind, all in one visit.


What’s Included in Each Service?

1. Home Health Check (HHC) – $300

A thorough, visual, moisture?focused evaluation of the entire property.

Your HHC includes:

  • Exterior evaluation of grading, drainage, siding, roofline, landscaping, foundation, and outbuildings
  • Interior evaluation of all rooms, plumbing areas, windows, doors, and common moisture?risk locations
  • Attic inspection for leaks, insulation issues, ventilation problems, and microbial concerns
  • Crawlspace inspection for standing water, plumbing leaks, vapor barrier issues, and fungal activity
  • Moisture readings and visual mold assessment
  • Detailed written report outlining findings and recommended repairs
  • Repair estimates provided in most cases

This is the ideal option for homeowners who want a clear, affordable annual checkup without lab testing.


2. Comprehensive Home Health Check (HHC + Air Sampling) – $695

Everything included in the standard HHC plus airborne mold testing and professional lab analysis.

Your comprehensive evaluation includes:

  • Full HHC inspection (interior, exterior, attic, crawlspace, plumbing, windows, doors, and more)
  • Four airborne mold samples
    • 1 outdoor baseline
    • 3 indoor samples
  • Overnight delivery to our accredited lab
  • Analysis by trained microbiologists
  • MoldScore report showing whether mold originates indoors
  • Clear documentation with photos, notes, and recommendations
  • Repair estimate if any issues are found

Homes over 2,500 sq ft:

Add $100 to allow for the additional time required for a thorough evaluation.

This option is perfect for homeowners who want the most complete picture of their home’s indoor environment.


 Why Annual Checks Matter

Moisture problems don’t appear overnight. They develop slowly, quietly, and often out of sight. An annual inspection helps you:

  • Catch small issues early before they become expensive repairs
  • Avoid emergency situations caused by leaks, condensation, or drainage failures
  • Protect your home’s value with documented maintenance history
  • Save money long?term by preventing mold, rot, and structural damage

Whether you choose the HHC or the full comprehensive package, you’re taking a proactive step to protect your home.


What You Receive After the Inspection

Every service level includes:

  • A clean, easy?to?read report
  • Photos of inspected areas
  • Notes on any issues found
  • Clear, homeowner?friendly explanations
  • Recommendations for next steps

The Comprehensive HHC also includes:

  • Lab?certified air sample results
  • MoldScore interpretation
  • Guidance on whether mold originates indoors

We don’t use scare tactics or technical jargon. Our goal is clarity, not confusion.


Who Benefits Most From These Services?

  • Homeowners who want peace of mind
  • Landlords and property managers who need documentation
  • New homeowners establishing a baseline
  • Owners of older homes or crawlspace homes
  • Anyone who has had past water damage or mold issues

Why Central Oregon Homes Need This More Than Ever

Central Oregon’s climate swings — cold, wet winters followed by hot, dry summers — create ideal conditions for hidden moisture problems. Attic condensation, crawlspace humidity, and slow plumbing leaks are especially common in homes across Bend, Redmond, Sisters, and surrounding areas.

An annual Home Health Check helps you stay ahead of these seasonal risks and protect your home year?round.


A Small Step That Protects Your Biggest Investment

Your home is one of your most valuable assets. Whether you choose the $300 Home Health Check or the $695 Comprehensive Home Health Check with air sampling, you’re taking a smart, proactive step to protect it.

Mountain Air Restoration is ready to help you schedule your annual visit or set up recurring yearly service.
