Hudson Valley Property Inspections has performed over 2500 air quality tests since the devastation caused by super storms Irene, Lee and Sandy in the Northeast over the past 16 years. I have seen the incredible damage that mold can do. The scariest scenarios happen when you can’t see the mold. Oh, it will appear eventually, and it could cost a pretty penny to have the problem eradicated. One tool used to test for mold that you can’t see is to take air samples and have them analyzed by a certified lab. This is not something that you want to do after you close on your dream home.
According to the New York Department of State, Division of Licensing Services, Section 197-5.16 Limitations and Exclusions (k.9), an inspector is not currently mandated to report mold findings. Because of this, most people do not realize that their home has mold issues because it is not always reported by an inspector or readily visible.
Once mold is airborne, it can spread throughout an entire home. Mold infestation can cause individuals to become ill. Small children, infants, the elderly, and people already suffering with health problems are particularly susceptible to health problems related to mold infestation.
