Do You Need a Mold Assessment or a Mold Inspection Report with Testing?

Are you concerned that your health is being undermined by hidden mold?

Are you concerned that mold is damaging your vacation property and/or harming your guests and revenues?

Are you buying a vacation property and want to make sure it doesn’t have a hidden mold problem?

Depending on your situation, an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Specialist can come to your home, condo or office and perform a Free Mold Assessment or conduct a Mold Inspection with a Report and Testing to identify potential species of mold.

When buying a vacation property along the Gulf Coast, it is highly recommended that you request a Mold Inspection with, images, a report and lab analysis before closing the sale.

Why? Because many home Inspectors are not physically looking for mold and state that in small print. If they do offer mold testing, it is typically just an “air sample” which is notoriously inaccurate because of so many variables that affect the results.

For example, many times the “air samples” will come back negative, yet you can physically see mold inside the HVAC unit and ductwork.

Another issue to consider when just relying on a home inspector during the purchase of your property - home inspectors are referred to you by realtors. If home inspectors find too many issues during their inspection and “kill the deal” then realtors stop referring them and they lose business.

You ask any realtor off the record, and you will find this to be a little secret! This is especially true in those Buyer Beware states like Alabama! Home inspectors play an important role in a real estate transaction, for sure, but looking for mold isn’t one of their strengths.

However, if you aren’t involved in a real estate transaction and you are concerned about health issues and/or property damage, many times our Indoor Air Quality specialist can visually identify and uncover hidden mold activity and/or water damage and explain the root causes without charging you for lab analysis and an inspection report. This is what we refer to as a Free Mold Assessment.

This area along the Gulf Coast produces one of the highest concentrations of mold spores daily in the entire US!

Why is that important? Because when you combine high levels of humidity with high levels of naturally occurring mold spores, your homes and condos become a favorite breeding ground for this new generation of molds that are more aggressive and harmful than at any time in our history.
