Does TrueSight Travel Statewide for Mold Inspections?

Short Answer: Yes. Longer Answer: Here's How It Works.

If you're in Oklahoma and you need environmental testing, I can get there. That's not a marketing claim — it's a logistical commitment. I regularly travel beyond the OKC metro to serve clients in Tulsa, Lawton, Stillwater, Duncan, Enid, and the towns in between that Google Maps has to think about for a second before routing.

Rural properties, lake homes, small towns that don't have local mold inspectors (or worse, only have remediation companies pretending to be inspectors) — I serve them all.

Why Statewide Coverage Matters

Here's the problem most Oklahomans outside the metro face: if you don't live in OKC or Tulsa, your options for independent environmental testing range from limited to nonexistent.

Some areas have no local mold inspectors at all. Zero. If mold grows in your house in Woodward, your choices are hope it goes away, call a remediation company that'll happily tell you it's terrible (and they can fix it for $8,000), or find someone willing to drive out.

Other areas have inspectors who are actually remediation companies wearing a different hat — with the obvious conflict of interest that creates. When the person diagnosing the problem is the same person who profits from finding one, the diagnostic process becomes... let's call it "motivated."

Everyone in Oklahoma deserves access to independent, unbiased testing. Where you live shouldn't determine whether you can get an honest assessment. And it shouldn't determine whether "honest" and "assessment" come from the same inspector.

How Statewide Service Works

Step 1: Contact Me With Your Location

Call, text, or fill out the contact form. Give me your city or zip code, what kind of testing you need, and whether there's a timing deadline (closing date, renovation start, health situation). I'll figure out the logistics — that's my job, not yours.

Step 2: Get a Complete Price — One Number

For locations outside the 45-mile OKC zone, I calculate a mileage fee based on actual distance — not a blanket surcharge, not a negotiated premium, not "depends on what I'm doing that week." You'll get a total price that includes:

• The full inspection
• All air and surface sampling
• AIHA-accredited lab analysis
• Detailed report with findings and recommendations
• Travel (mileage fee — disclosed, agreed upon, done)

One number. That's the number on the invoice. Not "starting at." Not "approximately." The actual price you pay.

Step 3: Scheduling

For distant locations, I often schedule early-morning departures so I arrive on-site at a reasonable hour. Depending on your area, I sometimes coordinate multiple inspections in the same region on the same day — this occasionally lets me reduce individual mileage fees because the travel cost gets distributed.

If you know neighbors or community members who also need testing, let me know. Same-day regional scheduling benefits everyone.

Step 4: Identical Quality Everywhere

Whether you're in Nichols Hills or a rancho outside Chickasha, the inspection process is identical. Same equipment, same protocols, same lab. The thermal camera doesn't get cheaper when I cross the county line:

• Comprehensive visual assessment of all accessible areas
• Moisture mapping with professional-grade meters
• Thermal imaging for hidden moisture behind walls and ceilings
• Air sampling with calibrated pumps and standardized protocols
• Accredited laboratory analysis — same lab, same turnaround whether you're in OKC or Okmulgee
• Detailed report with actionable findings, not vague "we found some mold" conclusions

Mileage Fee Quick Reference

Area	Distance from OKC	Typical Mileage Fee
OKC Metro	0-45 miles	None
Stillwater Area	~60 miles	$60-80
Shawnee/Ada Area	~40-80 miles	$50-90
Lawton Area	~85 miles	$90-120
Tulsa Metro	~100 miles	$100-150
Enid Area	~90 miles	$90-130
Eastern Oklahoma	~120+ miles	$130-180

These are estimates based on distance. Contact me with your specific address for an exact quote. Your actual fee may be lower — especially if I can coordinate your inspection with others in your area.

Rural Properties: More Surprises Behind the Drywall

I've inspected rural properties throughout Oklahoma, and here's what I've observed: there are often more surprises behind the drywall in rural homes — not because they're worse homes, but because nobody was looking.

Urban and suburban homes get more casual oversight: neighbors notice roof damage, HOAs flag exterior maintenance, frequent visitors comment on smells. Rural properties can have moisture problems develop for years without anyone noticing except the mold.

Well Water

If you're on well water, water quality testing becomes particularly important. Oklahoma's geology creates naturally occurring mineral concerns, and agricultural areas have runoff that municipal treatment catches but wells don't. There's no city treatment plant between the aquifer and your kitchen faucet — whatever's in the ground is in your water.

Outbuildings and Shops

Barns, workshops, and storage buildings have ventilation patterns dramatically different from homes. A metal shop building with a concrete slab, no HVAC, and closed doors 360 days a year creates a humidity chamber. I've found mold growth in outbuildings that had been growing undisturbed for years — nobody opened the door to check because there was no reason to go in there until there was.

Older Construction

Many rural Oklahoma homes predate modern building codes — some by decades. Pier-and-beam construction with minimal ventilation, crawlspaces that sit directly on Oklahoma's clay soil, and foundations that were designed for a different era of building science. These aren't bad homes. They're homes that were built with the knowledge of their time. But they often need different inspection attention than a 2015 suburb build.

Deferred Maintenance

Properties that sat vacant, were tenant-occupied without attentive oversight, or simply had deferred maintenance accumulate moisture problems in the quiet. A roof leak from two years ago that nobody fixed. A bathroom drain that's been slow-leaking under the subfloor. A foundation crack that widens every summer when the clay shrinks. These things add up without anyone noticing — and by the time someone does notice, the mold has been growing for a while.

Lake Properties: Beautiful Views, Elevated Humidity

Lake Thunderbird, Lake Texoma, Grand Lake, Lake Eufaula — Oklahoma has beautiful lake properties, and they all share one environmental reality: proximity to a large body of water means elevated ambient humidity.

Lake homes — whether primary residences or vacation properties — face specific challenges:

• Higher baseline humidity that makes moisture control harder year-round
• Seasonal vacancy (vacation homes) where HVAC isn't running and humidity builds unchecked for weeks
• Proximity to soil and water that increases crawlspace and foundation moisture
• Construction that prioritizes views over ventilation — large windows and decks look great, but they can create condensation patterns in the walls

I travel to inspect lake properties throughout Oklahoma. The mileage fee applies based on distance, but the inspection quality doesn't diminish with miles driven.

Why Not Just Use a Local Company?

Fair question, and one I appreciate because it shows you're thinking about this like a consumer, not just a customer. If a local inspector exists and they're genuinely independent (not a remediation company also doing inspections), and they're qualified — great. Use them. I'm not going to tell you that driving from OKC is always better than hiring someone local.

But here's why people often choose me even with the mileage fee:

• Independence: In smaller markets, the only available "inspectors" are remediation companies with conflicts of interest. When the person who tells you what's wrong is the same person who profits from fixing it, the diagnosis tends to be... generous
• Accredited lab work: My samples go to an AIHA-accredited laboratory with chain-of-custody documentation — not a local lab with a handshake agreement
• Volume of experience: I've performed hundreds of inspections across Oklahoma's full range of housing stock, construction eras, and climate conditions. Pattern recognition matters in this work — a crawlspace problem in Ada looks a lot like a crawlspace problem in Chandler, and knowing the pattern helps me find what's hidden
• No conflicts: I don't do remediation. I don't sell remediation. I don't refer to a preferred remediation company that kicks back referral fees. I find what's there, tell you what it means, and let you make your own decisions

Sometimes the best local option is genuinely good. I'm not trying to compete on every rural project. But when independent, qualified, conflict-free testing isn't available locally, I fill that gap. That's why statewide service exists.

Scheduling for Distant Locations

For locations 60+ miles from OKC, I typically need 3-5 business days of lead time rather than the 1-2 days that metro scheduling usually requires. This helps me coordinate travel efficiently and sometimes bundle your area with other appointments.

However — for urgent situations (active water damage, real estate closings with hard deadlines, time-sensitive health concerns), I'll work with you on faster turnaround. Explain the situation when you call. "My closing is Thursday and the inspector flagged moisture" gets a different scheduling response than "we're curious about the basement."
