If you are in the process of buying a home, especially in the humid climates of the Midwest, here is why you need to look beyond the standard checklist and invest in a professional mold inspection.
You can’t always see a mold problem, but you can breathe it. Many homes that appear "spotless" to a general inspector actually have elevated levels of airborne fungal spores. These spores can be triggered by a previous flood that was "cleaned" but not properly dried, or by high humidity levels in a basement.
A standard home inspector does not perform air cell sampling. A professional mold inspection, however, includes taking air samples from various rooms and comparing them to outdoor "baseline" samples. This is the only way to determine if the "invisible" air you are breathing is concentrated with spores that could lead to respiratory issues, headaches, or long-term health complications.
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.
