To help prevent things from escalating to this level, schedule a professional mold inspection in your home. This is especially important after any sort of water damage or when you’re about to buy a new home.

A mold infestation is a dangerous and often costly situation to deal with. Catch the problem early to mitigate any damage or health concerns.

The primary reason to schedule a professional mold inspection is for your own health. Mold can cause a number of health concerns, including respiratory diseases, asthma attacks, allergic reactions, depression, and in rare cases, death.

To protect your health and that of your family, you need to find every last bit of mold growing in your home. Then, you can schedule mold remediation services to eradicate the growth entirely.

When you purchase a new home, the lending company usually requests a home inspection before moving forward. You will most likely have to pay for this expense out of pocket. Unfortunately, most home inspectors are not mold experts. Most don’t even look for signs of mold in the home.

Because mold can remain hidden for quite some time, the inspector will likely miss the signs and typical locations where mold grows. A professional mold inspection, although an additional expense, will more accurately identify any mold growing in the home.

When buying a home, your real estate agent’s end goal is to sell you a property. Unfortunately, most real estate agents will not disclose that a house had mold. You will have to search through the documentation yourself or directly ask the previous homeowner for such information. Too few prospective buyers think of this step and wind up with an unexpected problem.

Even the seller may not disclose mold issues in the past. They could paint over mold damage or sheetrock exposed mold areas. Then, you’ll never know there was an issue until it pops up again. Don’t risk your health or that of your family based on someone else’s word. Bring in an expert to correctly identify any signs of mold.
