Q: The Home Inspector found mold, should I back out of the deal?

A: We are happy to assess the mold problem for you. Some mold problems are very minor and can be fixed with little or no cost. Keep in mind Home Inspectors are obligated to report any mold they observe no matter how minor.

 

Q: Should I have mold testing before I purchase a new house?

A: If there is any reason to suspect there may be a mold or moisture problem in the house you want to purchase we recommend mold air testing is done. Mold air testing will help determine if there is hidden mold or any potential health risks to occupants. For more information see Mold Testing.

 

Q: How long before I can get ABM Environmental to inspect or test a home I want to purchase?
