Mold Inspection ($475*).
A very common myth among home buyers is that home inspectors are actively looking for evidence of mold while performing the general home inspection. In some cases, the inspector is expected to see or smell mold that may be hiding behind the walls. By choosing this additional service, your inspector will perform a general mold inspection using specialized equipment that collects a series of air samples and/or surface samples throughout the home. These samples will be shipped overnight to a nationally recognized lab to analyze the samples for the presence of mold. As a result of the samples collected, the inspector will provide an electronic report which will outline the lab results. This mold inspection is a general inspection and non-destructive in nature, intended to identify active visual mold growth or airborne spores present in the home at the time of the inspection.
