Many people don’t consider testing for mold and mildew a necessary aspect of a home inspection. As reported by the Environmental Protection Agency, studies have shown that mold and mildew spores in the air are affecting an increasing number of people medically. Aside from the health considerations, mold and mildew pose a serious threat to your home’s structural integrity. Applus+ Home inspections provides an optional mold test to its current home inspection packages so that our clients can be assured that neither their health nor their home will be at risk.

Mold and mildew grow in environments where there are sufficient amounts of moisture and a lack of ventilation. This means mold can even exist inside your walls. Our professional home inspectors will visually observe the areas conducive to mold growth and use our state-of-the-art thermal imaging technology to check hard-to-reach and unseen spaces.
