Lookmold Editorial Policy

At Lookmold, we believe that accurate, trustworthy information can empower you to take control of your home’s health. Our mission is to provide expert-backed content that helps you identify, prevent, and safely remove mold and moisture-related problems, without hype or fearmongering.

We take our editorial standards seriously, because your family’s safety matters.

How We Create Content

Our articles follow a clear editorial process:

  • Research: We reference high-authority sources such as the CDC, EPA, NIOSH, FEMA, and HUD.
  • Expert Input: Every guide is reviewed or written by professionals with field experience in mold remediation, indoor air quality, and building science.
  • Plain Language: We break down complex science into understandable, actionable advice.
  • Transparency: We cite all sources and disclose any affiliations or limitations clearly.

‍ About Our Experts

Lookmold content is led and reviewed by:

Brad brings decades of hands-on experience from real mold inspections, lab testing, and remediation oversight in homes and commercial buildings. You’ll see his insights woven throughout our guides.

Review and Update Process

We don’t publish and forget.

  • Our team updates pages regularly to reflect changes in building codes, best practices, and scientific consensus.
  • We monitor Google Search Central, CDC updates, and ACAC standards to keep our advice current.
  • Older articles are marked with the last modified date at the bottom of the page.

Corrections and Feedback

We strive for accuracy, but if you catch a factual error or outdated claim, we want to know.

Contact our editorial team to report an issue.
We’ll review it promptly and update the page with a clear correction if needed.

Use of AI and Automation

Some articles may use AI-assisted drafting for formatting, outlines, or summarization.
Every piece of content is reviewed by a licensed mold professional before it goes live.

We believe in using technology to enhance quality, not replace expertise.

How we get paid

Lookmold is independently owned. We do not sell the article itself or let a brand write our guides.

We earn money in two ways. Both are disclosed next to the action:

  • Phone referrals. When you call a number on this site, an independent mold contractor answers. We may receive a referral fee for that call. The call button says so.
  • Amazon Associates. Some DIY pages include product links to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, Lookmold earns a commission from qualifying purchases if you buy. The links go to Amazon, not to a contractor. That sentence sits in the product box, above the products.

Amazon does not sponsor or endorse Lookmold. A product in that box is there because it matches the job on the page, not because Amazon paid for a review.

Those relationships do not change the underlying advice: fix the moisture, and hire a pro when the job is bigger than a patch.
