A visual inspection is the initial step in identifying possible contamination problems.  It will identify any visible water leaks or moisture stains on ceilings, walls, floors or under counters.  The air conditioning and heating systems, the attic and crawl spaces under homes will receive a visual inspection as well.  The use of equipment, such as a boroscope, to view spaces in ductwork or behind walls, and moister meters are used to help identify hidden sources of mold growth and the extend of the water damage.  Mold sampling will be recommended if there is any noticeable mold growth, musty odors, visible water damage or stains, poorly maintained HVAC systems or construction defects.  By combining a visual inspection with air, tape or swap sampling, the Inspector can help identify the hidden source of mold, allergens and indoor pollutants and the extent of any acute or chronic water or moisture damage.
Mold has the potential to cause health problems and even make a home uninhabitable.  However, everyone is affected differently when in contact with mold.  The mold that may not bother one person may severely affect another.  Some mold can produce allergens, irritants and in some cases, potentially toxic chemical substances known as mycotoxins.  People who are sensitive and exposed to mycotoxins can become ill.  Allergic reactions to mold are common.  They can be immediate or delayed.  People diagnosed with allergies and asthma may be very sensitive to mold. Mold can cause asthma attacks.  Others at risk may include: infants, children, the elderly, immune compromised patients, pregnant women and individuals with existing respiratory conditions.
