Mold in the Home or Business
The first thing to understand about mold is that there is a little mold everywhere – indoors and outdoors. It's in the air
and can be found on plants, foods, dry leaves, and other organic materials. It's very common to find molds in homes
and buildings. After all, molds grow naturally indoors. And mold spores enter the home through doorways, windows,
and heating and air conditioning systems. Spores also enter the home on animals, clothing, shoes, bags and people.

When mold spores drop where there is excessive moisture in your
home, they will grow. Common problem sites include humidifiers,
leaky roofs and pipes, overflowing sinks, bath tubs and plant pots,
steam from cooking, wet clothes drying indoors, dryers exhausting
indoors, or where there has been flooding.
Many of the building materials for homes provide suitable nutrients for
mold, helping it to grow. Such materials include paper and paper
products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, wood and wood products, dust,
paints, wallpaper, insulation materials, drywall, carpet, fabric, and
upholstery.

The importance of mold in the real estate market today
Much has been made of indoor mold in advertising and the media
lately, so it’s a common concern for property owners and buyers. It's
common to find mold even in new homes or businesses. Whether
you’re selling your current home or looking into buying one, it’s vital
to get a mold inspection. Presence of active mold can drastically
affect the resale value of any property.

For property owners, a mold inspection will either put your mind at rest or make you aware of any problems that
could otherwise cause delays; or deal breakers once you’ve entered into negotiations with a buyer. A professional
mold inspection by AAA Advanced Home Inspections will give you a detailed report with digital pictures and a signed
report from an accredited laboratory expert before you put the home up for sale. Imagine being able to show a “clean
bill of health” to potential buyers that express concerns – they’ll be impressed by your thoroughness and commitment
to your home.
For buyers, getting a mold inspection will ensure that you’re not surprised by costly clean up and the potential health
hazards of mold. A mold inspection/clearance test will put your mind at rest to know the property is not a sick
building. This is highly recommended if the buyer is sensitive to molds. If any mold is found to be present and active
in the home, the mold inspection will allow you to ask the seller to do the clean up prior to buying the home.
Remediation can cost thousands of dollars.

Exposure to mold
Everyone is exposed to some amount of mold on a daily basis, most without
any apparent reaction. Generally mold spores can cause problems when they
are present in large numbers and a person inhales large quantities of them.
This occurs primarily when there is active mold growth. For some people
that have immunosuppressed conditions, a small exposure to mold spores or
toxic mycotoxins can trigger an asthma attack or lead to other health
problems. For others, symptoms may only occur when exposure levels are
much higher.
The health effects of mold can vary. The production of allergens or irritants
can cause mild allergic reactions and asthma attacks. The production of
potentially toxic mycotoxins can cause more severe reactions, and in rare
cases death.

Should I be concerned about mold in my home or business?

spores. It is possible to become sensitized to these mold spores and develop allergies or other health concerns, even
if one is not normally sensitive to mold. If it is a business, your employees will not be working to the best of there
ability and can be absent from work as well. Illness that will result of loss of income and production.
Left unchecked, mold growth can cause structural damage to your home or business as well as permanent damage to
furnishings and carpet.
