Mold is a type of fungus that lives indoors and most of the time is not visible at sight. You should not buy a home with mold, sell a home with mold or live in a home with mold.
A mold inspection is your first line of defense. A visual inspection is the initial step in identifying possible contamination problems. It will identify any visible water leaks or moisture stains on ceilings, walls, floors or under counters. The air conditioning and heating systems, the attic and crawl spaces under your home will receive a visual inspection as well.
The use of equipment, such a boroscope (to view spaces in ductwork or behind walls) and moisture meters are used to help identify hidden sources of mold growth and the extent of the water damage. Mold sampling will be recommended if there is any noticeable mold growth, musty odors, visible water damage or stains.
