However, a clean bill of health from a general home inspector isn’t the only thing you should rely on to tell you the house is "healthy." That’s why MES partners with local inspectors to provide a more comprehensive inspection.
A standard home inspection is "non-invasive." This means the inspector is generally prohibited from moving furniture, pulling up tacked-down carpeting, or opening up walls. They look for what is visible to the naked eye.
The problem? Mold is a master of disguise. It thrives in the dark, damp, and unventilated corners of a home that are rarely "visible." Mold often grows:
- Behind drywall in rooms with previous plumbing leaks.
- Underneath laminate or hardwood flooring.
- Inside HVAC ductwork.
- In the tightest corners of a crawlspace where a general inspector may not venture.
Before you commit to a thirty-year mortgage, ensure you aren't also committing to a hidden health hazard. Investing in a professional mold inspection provides the one thing a standard inspection cannot: total peace of mind.
