According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, approximately 38% of homes suffer from mold and fungus growth due to excessive moisture.
National media attention has alerted the public to the destructive and possible toxic dangers of hidden mold spores that could affect their family’s health and their homes. EPA studies indicate that air levels of indoor pollutants may be two to three times higher than outdoor levels.
Mold, the most dangerous offender of all, often goes undetected because of its invisibility. Most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors and are not aware of the health hazards created by these spores.
Since there has been media attention surrounding mold, prospective home buyers want a home that has been tested for mold. Mold sampling has become a standard practice during a home inspection. You should not buy a home with mold, sell a home with mold, or live in a home with mold. A mold inspector is your first line of defense. CPC inspectors are experienced and trained to detect any signs of an unhealthy environment.
