Molds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on
virtually any substance when moisture is present. Molds
produce tiny spores to reproduce. Mold spores waft through
the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold spores
land on a damp spot indoors, they begin growing and
digesting whatever they are living on in order to survive.
When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold
growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture
problem remains undiscovered or un-addressed.
Everyone is exposed to some mold on a daily basis without
evident harm. It is common to find mold spores in the air
inside homes, and most of the airborne spores found indoors
come from outdoor sources. Mold spores primarily cause
health problems when they are present in large numbers and
people inhale many of them. This occurs primarily when there
is active mold growth within home, office or school where
people live or work. People can also be exposed to mold by
touching contaminated materials and by eating contaminated
foods.
If
indoor mold contamination is extensive, it can cause very
high and persistent airborne spore exposures. Persons
exposed to high spore levels can become sensitized and
develop allergies to the mold or other health problems. Mold
growth can damage your furnishings, such as carpets, sofas
and cabinets. Clothes and shoes in damp closets can become
soiled. In time, unchecked mold growth can cause serious
damage to the structural elements in your home.
Molds produce health effects through inflammation, allergy,
or infection. Allergic reactions (often referred to as hay
fever) are most common following mold exposure. Typical
symptoms that mold-exposed persons report (alone or in
combination) include:
-
Respiratory problems, such as wheezing, difficulty
breathing, and shortness of breath
-
Nasal
and sinus congestion
-
Eye
irritation (burning, watery, or reddened eyes)
-
Dry,
hacking cough
-
Nose
or throat irritation
-
Skin
rashes or irritation
-
Headaches, memory problems, mood swings, nosebleeds, body
aches and pains, and fevers are occasionally reported in
mold cases, but their cause is not understood.
Molds will grow and multiply whenever conditions are
right-sufficient moisture is available and organic material
is present. Be on the lookout in your home for common
sources of indoor moisture that may lead to mold problems:
-
Flooding
-
Leaky
roofs
-
Sprinkler spray hitting the house
-
Plumbing leaks
-
Overflow from sinks or sewers
-
Damp
basement or crawl space
-
Steam
from shower or cooking
-
Humidifiers
-
Wet
clothes drying indoors or clothes dryers exhausting
indoors

What Did
I hear about a free inspection?
Yes, you heard right! If I do an inspection on a newly built
home I will come back and do the inspection again one year
later at no cost. In a years time a new home will settle and
gradual changes may occur that could be problematic as the
home ages. An inspection may help you to correct these
issues before they become expensive.
I understand
the emotional investment during property transactions and know
that timely and sensitive delivery of the message is as
important as its content. When discussing the deficiencies I
will offer solutions and possible maintenance suggestions,
giving you greater confidence in negotiations.
