Purchasing A Foreclosure Property?

Foreclosure properties present many great opportunities for

Home Buyers.  Unfortunately, with these great opportunities, come many hidden problems.  One of which, is MOLD! 

The first thing to remember is that Mold is present everywhere.  It is elevated levels of mold and the source of the problem that should be investigated prior to purchasing a home.  Foreclosure properties often present ideal conditions for mold growth.  Mold requires moisture to grow. Often these properties are vacant for extended periods of

time without any environmental controls such as air conditioning.  Without proper air flow, moisture can gather in homes and promote mold growth in a very short time.  The good news is that most foreclosure homes with elevated mold growth can be remediated in short order.  However, it should be noted that, unless mold is visible on surfaces, it is very difficult to tell if a property has a mold problem. 

Kross Inspectors offers a simple air sampling service that can inform home buyers if there is an elevated level of mold in a home. Air sampling is a simple procedure that compares the mold spore count of the interior of the property to the mold spore count of the exterior atmosphere.  The comparison can identify if the property requires additional diligence in improving indoor air quality prior to moving in. 

This is just another quality service offered by Kross Inspectors helping Home Buyers make informed decisions.
