Who Receives Your Inspection Report
In accordance with Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC Lic. #23070) canons of professional ethics, TDLR Mold Assessment Consultant rules (MAC #1974), and Texas SPCS rules (#089201), your inspection report and laboratory findings belong confidentially to you—the contracting client.
We release inspection reports strictly to the contracting client and to parties you explicitly authorize (such as your buyer's agent, insurance underwriter, or title closer). Unlike volume inspection aggregators, we never sell your inspection data or contact information to home warranty call centers, moving companies, alarm companies, or repair contractors.
Access, Correction & Deletion Requests
Quote and booking records are transmitted over 256-bit TLS encryption and stored in access-restricted Google Cloud / Firebase infrastructure. Statutory inspection reports and state-regulated WDI / TDLR mold records are retained for the minimum periods mandated by Texas administrative law and professional liability standards.
To request a copy, correction, or deletion of non-statutory personal contact data, email info@securedinspections.com or write to Sphaerus LLC d/b/a Secured Inspections®, 617 8th Ave N, Texas City, TX 77590.
