Buying a Home? Selling a Home? Watch Out for Mold!

If you're buying a home, it's essential that you have it inspected for the presence of mold before making an offer. As a structural repair company, we have seen firsthand the toll that mold and moisture can take on a home's foundation. As a new homeowner, the last thing you want is to spend more money on costly, unexpected repairs and crawlspace renovations. If you are selling your home, you should also be certain that no mold problems exist before placing your home on the market.

Finding and Identifying Crawlspace Mold

Crawlspaces are breeding grounds for mold and mildew, especially in humid climates. Crawlspaces with excessive moisture and poor ventilation are particularly prone to mold spores; stuffy air and a foul odor are two signs that mold is present. It can often be found growing in corners and in moist areas of crawlspaces. Mold can be toxic and lead to allergic reactions and serious health problems, so it's time for a professional inspection if you think your home has mold.

How Do You Know If You Have Mold?

The most common signs of mold in your home include:

• Musty odor throughout the home
• Damp spots on walls
• Dark grey splotches
• Consistent cold and flu-like symptoms
• Water leaks in roof or attic
• Flood damage
• Water stains on the walls or ceilings
• Peeling paint on walls
• Warped paneling
• Dry rot
• Poor ventilation

What Happens During Mold Remediation?

We'll explain what happens during mold remediation in your home or office, including: 

• Inspection - Our team of professionals will search for visible signs of mold on your property.
  Containment - We'll seal off the areas where mold is found to contain it and prevent the spread to other areas. We'll shut off fans, heaters, and cooling systems in your home to ensure spores cannot move to other places.
• Air Filtration - We shut off the HVAC system and bring in big negative air machines to prevent cross-contamination of air in the quarantined area with clean air in the rest of the living area. We also use large air scrubbers to clean the air.
• Mold Clean-Up - We use anti-fungal substances to clean the areas with mold and prevent any more from growing in the same area. We use an approved biocide cleaner for areas like the bathtub and sinks with non-porous surfaces. If these areas are infected with deep mold growths, the surfaces must be removed and replaced.
• Sanitize - The last step is sanitizing your home, including furniture, clothing, and curtains.
