When to inspect for mold?

Every time a home is bought or sold it should be inspected for mold. People assume that if they cannot see mold then it isn’t present. That’s not true. Mold can hide in walls and floors and the mold will create toxic gasses making people sick. People will live for years fighting poor health not knowing that it is the hidden mold that is the cause of the problem.

There is no way to know what kind of water damage may have happened in the house you are planning to buy. The only way to find out if mold is present is with a mold inspection. If the house was sitting vacant without HVAC running, then there is a good chance heavy humidity created mold in the porous surfaces of the walls, a drop ceiling or carpet. You really need to get the home tested before putting your family at risk.

The most credentialed mold inspector in North Atlanta is Tom Talen with Violet Frog. He is an environmental specialist. Fully licensed and insured.
