When you are in the process of purchasing a home or have spotted some mold under the bathroom sink, you might be wondering, “Do I really need a mold inspection?” In the case of mold, sometimes what you don’t know can hurt you! Here at AdvantaClean of West Knoxville, we recommend mold inspections for many different reasons. If you are on the fence about a mold inspection, here are a few things for you to consider.

First, in terms of cost, a mold inspection done before the purchase of a house could actually save you money down the road in terms of mold remediation. If you choose to purchase a home and it does end up having mold, you will be on the hook for the cost of remediation whereas if done before, you might be able to get the seller to chip in or cover the cost.

Second, a mold inspection can give you great peace of mind. Instead of wondering if you have sneaky mold in a crawl space or attic that is causing your family troubles with breathing or immunity, a mold inspection can put those fears to rest.

Third, a mold inspection can stop mold growth in its tracks. Mold will continue to grow and flourish as long as there is a source of warmth, darkness and moisture. If you catch it while it’s a small surface, the cleanup process is much easier and less invasive.

At AdvantaClean of West Knoxville, we want to help you with your mold inspection needs and remediation needs. Please call us at the first sign of mold, and let us take care of you today.
