Can mold growth be measured in a crawl space with Home Air Check?

We normally do not suggest monitoring for mold growth in crawl spaces that are highly vented. This is because the chemicals (mold VOCs) emitted by any mold growth are swept quickly out of the vents. In these cases, a visual inspection of the underside of the house is a preferred method for determining any mold growth. Where the crawl space is not vented nor has minimal venting, A Home Air Check can be an effective tool for finding active mold growth.
