Looking into purchasing a new home? Unless it’s literally a new build, there’s a possibility that mold may be present in your prospective home. In fact, mold is a fungus that produces spores in the air, whether you’re inside or outside. But it only propagates if it lands on moisture. So, the key to a mold-free home is to keep it dry, mopping up spilled water, repairing leaks as soon as you notice them, and having a well-constructed roof. If you’re planning to buy a home and want the peace of mind of knowing whether or not dangerous colonies of mold are present, get a mold inspection with AccuSpect Inspections. Here are a few reasons why this inspection is so important.
Mold is not always bad— without it, we would not have life-saving penicillin or life-changing cheese. However, when mold is growing in your home, it can be a dangerous threat to you and your family. According to the Michigan Department of Health, untreated mold spores can cause health issues such as runny eyes and headaches but can also exacerbate asthma and other illnesses in adults. AccuSpect Inspections provides quality mold inspection and testing to keep your family safe. If you suspect that your home may be infected with mold, call (734) 467-7328 for an immediate consultation.
