BUYING A HOME OR PROPERTY?
Is there a musty smell in the building? Are
there visible signs of water damage on the walls,
ceiling, floor, anywhere? Has the home ever
experienced a leaking basement, a roof leak,
a plumbing leak, a sink or sewer back-up or
overflow, a flood, or any other water problems?
VISUALLY SEE MOLD?
Have a mold inspection to check for additional
mold and the source of the mold problem. Also,
have the mold tested to determine if it is toxic
or allergenic.
SMELLS MOLDY OR MUSTY?
Again trust your instinct, if it smells like
mold, it probably is. Many times mold grows
behindwalls or in attics, crawlspaces, or basements
and is not readily visible. Have a mold inspectionto
check for mold and the source of the mold problem.If
mold is found, have it tested to identify and
determine if it is cosmetic, allergenic, pathogenic,
or toxic.
UNEXPLAINED
HEALTH COMPLAINTS?
Your environment may be contributing to or causing
your health problems. Have a mold inspection
to find or rule out mold. If mold is found,
have tests done to identify and determineif
it is toxic or allergenic.
