Should you test for mold? Mold can be present in any home, especially in those with present or past moisture damage or leaks. Some people are more sensitive to mold than others and could become very sick from airborne or surface mold.
Mold testing can be expensive in comparison to a home inspection. However, the health ramifications and other home issues causing the mold could be worse. What other home issues you’re asking?
Did you know it’s a scientific fact mold does not grow if a moisture source is absent? Additionally, mold does not just die off if the moisture source is remedied but instead enters a Non-Viable Stage (like hibernation). So ask yourself, WHERE OR WHAT is that moisture source keeping that mold growing?
Air sampling is a great way to measure mold spores within the air in an environment and determine if there is a moisture problem that isn’t visible. Our qualified inspectors are equipped to conduct mold air sampling and surface sampling in your potential new or existing home.
At Orgova Home Inspections, we can perform mold sampling along with your home inspection and have the lab results typically in 24 to 48 hours.
