A Crucial Step in Your Home Inspection

Why Mold Testing & Air Quality Matter

Mold in your home can cause significant health problems, especially for those with allergies, weakened immune systems, or respiratory conditions. Common issues include:
✔️ Breathing problems & allergies
✔️ Aspergillosis & infections
✔️ Bronchitis & chronic sinus issues

Mold thrives in damp environments and spreads quickly, often hidden within walls, ceilings, and floors. Surface cleaning is not enough—professional mold testing and air quality assessments identify hidden threats before they become costly problems.

The Importance of Air Quality Measurements

Airborne mold spores are invisible but can severely impact indoor air quality. Mold air sampling provides critical data on:
✅ Mold spore concentration – Detects elevated levels that could indicate hidden mold growth.
✅ Types of mold present – Identifies potentially harmful strains like Stachybotrys (black mold).
✅ Indoor vs. Outdoor air comparison – Determines whether mold levels inside are abnormally high.

Best Practice: Include Mold & Air Quality Testing with Your Home Inspection

At Western North Carolina Property Inspections LLC, we recommend mold air sampling as part of your home inspection. Even if mold is not visible, poor air quality can signal hidden mold problems—helping you take preventative action before major issues arise.
