At the home / Washington, DC metro area
Home mold moisture-source and extent audit (EPA guidance) — Washington, DC.
Inspect a Washington, DC-area home for moisture sources and visible mold growth using the EPA area threshold. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Inspect a Washington, DC-area home for moisture sources and visible mold growth using the EPA area threshold. The agency that publishes and updates this exact guidance runs its headquarters here, so this tile names EPA's own home city.
Offer to pay $150. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
No special training is needed. Never scrub, sand or aerosolize growth before it is assessed; growth over about 10 square feet, any HVAC involvement or sewage origin goes to professional remediation, no exceptions, and occupant respiratory or allergic symptoms go to a clinician.
The full safety list for this job:
- This is a moisture-source audit and mapping only, never remediation itself.
- This packet is independent of and not affiliated with the EPA: named as the real, verified home of the guidance this standard applies, not an endorsement or partnership.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- moisture meter
- flashlight
- tape measure
- hygrometer (relative humidity meter)
- camera
- notebook or data sheet
- N95 mask
Steps
- 1. Walk the home and inspect all standard moisture-risk points: roof and gutters, plumbing fixtures and under-sink areas, windows, foundation, appliances (washer, water heater, refrigerator), and HVAC system.
- 2. Record any active leak, past water-staining, or condensation found at each point, and photograph it.
- 3. Take indoor relative-humidity readings with the hygrometer in problem-prone rooms (bathrooms, basement, kitchen).
- 4. If visible mold-like growth is found, put on an N95 mask before approaching closely, and photograph it and measure its extent in square feet without touching, scrubbing, or disturbing it.
- 5. Note whether the growth is on or near an HVAC component, or traces to sewage or other contaminated water.
- 6. Ask occupants whether anyone has experienced respiratory or allergic symptoms tracking time in the home, and record the answer.
- 7. Identify and document the moisture source causing any leak or condensation found, and coach the occupant on the specific fix (repair the leak, add ventilation, run a dehumidifier) without performing remediation on visible growth.
- 8. Route the finding: growth over about 10 square feet, any HVAC-system involvement, or a sewage/contaminated-water origin goes to a professional remediation contractor; any occupant symptom goes to a clinician.
- 9. Log all readings, photos, measurements, and routing decisions on the data sheet with date and address.
What counts as done
- All standard moisture-risk points inspected and recorded (roof/gutter, plumbing, windows, foundation, appliances, HVAC)
- Indoor humidity reading(s) recorded in problem-prone rooms
- Any visible growth photographed and its extent measured (sq ft) WITHOUT disturbance
- Routing recorded: self-manage vs professional remediation per the EPA threshold, plus any clinician referral for occupant symptoms
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
