Mold is everywhere. We need it in our environment to break down our trash and organic material in nature. That said, we also want to make sure there are no abnormal levels of mold in our homes. Three conditions that would warrant a mold inspection in a home include:

1.  A musty scent is detected or damp areas were discovered on drywall or flooring.
2.  A person living in the home has severe allergies, asthma, or has a suppressed immune system.
3. A prior water leak was disclosed, but no documentation exists to verify mold remediation.

If one or more of these is true about the home you are purchasing, we recommend having a mold inspection with lab analysis of swab and/or air testing conducted during the home inspection. This process takes about 30 minutes and lab results are available within two days of the inspection. The accuracy of the results is guaranteed for up to $3,000 if mold is found within 90 days after the survey.
