Are you in the process of acquiring a new residential or commercial property? Or perhaps your home recently suffered water damage, and you fear the presence of mold? No matter the circumstance, you need to know whether mold is present. Burgess Inspections, a mold inspection expert, gives Richmond, VA residents and business owners four reasons to get a mold inspection.

1. Knowledge is power.

Before you sign on the dotted line, you want to know fully the condition of the property you plan to purchase or lease. If you already own the property, knowing the facts from a mold inspection gives you the knowledge you need to make an informed decision about how to proceed.

2. Avoid health risks.

The presence of mold could pose health risks to you or the people in your home or business. If a property does have mold, you may decide to steer clear of the property or to look into mold remediation services if you already inhabit the property.

3. Make a plan.

If mold testing comes back positive, you get to develop a plan for how to proceed. If you’re trying to decide whether to purchase a property, you may decide to back out or use the results during negotiations. Homeowners who discover mold in their current home can determine how to get rid of the mold and make the home livable again. But you can’t act until you know!
