Bad News for a Home Buyer or Seller
Moisture in a poorly sealed home generally means one thing: mold. There are many reasons a home can develop a moisture problem - including a brand new home being sealed too tightly! That’s bad news for a home seller or buyer, and news that you are far better served to have upfront. The sooner you discover moisture intrusion in your home, the better. Early detection allows for the source of the moisture to be quickly addressed, thereby eliminating future growth of mold and further damage to your property.
Finding Mold in the Home
Mold is easily visible upon the typically white walls and ceiling of a home. High humidity, meaning anything at or above 60% the relative humidity mark, can often be detected in a room, such as a bathroom or a basement storage closet. This is the humidity level at which mildew, or mold, forms, and the scent of mildew is pretty hard to miss. Other places mold is commonly found include spaces near vents, beneath windows, sinks or in the vicinity of HVAC equipment. But what about dangerous mold that lies in less perceptible places within the home?
