Why get a mold
inspection? For the safety and health of you and your family.
A house is
the single largest investment most individuals will ever make.
More and more purchasers are
coming to understand the wisdom of a thorough mold inspection prior to
committing to its purchase. Mold inspections have proven to be a positive and
educational experience for prospective homebuyers.
An impartial inspection by a professional Mold Inspector will provide a large
measure of protection from unpleasant surprises and allow you to make an
informed decision about your purchase. The purpose of an inspection is to
determine the condition of a property at the time of purchase, or afterwards in
cases involving litigation, in order to disclose the following:
-
heavy concentrations, or large impacted areas
(usually defined as repairs in excess of $1,500)
-
replacement and repair requirements
-
potential health concerns
Typically an inspection
takes between 1 and 1.5 hours, occasionally longer.
Knowing what to expect will help you make an informed decision about the value
of your home as well as the costs of future upkeep.
Some molds cause problems in housing, affecting the health of residents and the
structural soundness of the buildings.
