San Diego Mold Inspection – Why Do It?


Having mold in your house is nasty business. It’s even worsened by the fact that it can be hidden. That is why it is a good idea to schedule a San Diego mold inspection. And here’s why.

Unusual sights and smells

The most obvious signs of mold infestation are visual and olfactory.

  • The most common reason for people to call a professional is when they notice something unusual growing around their home. Growth on walls, furniture, or ceiling is when people start realizing that they need to address the problem. However, sometimes the thing you see may not be mold at all. Better call your San Diego inspection professionals.
  • Another common reason is that people smell something unusual. They often describe the smell of mold as damp or musty. So, if your house has developed an odor similar to that one, contact your local mold inspection experts as soon as possible.

Health issues

We all catch a cold from time to time. But, if it persists, if your health issues become constant, there may be more to it than not wearing enough layers.

  • The usual symptoms associated with mold infestation are itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. These symptoms are very similar to allergies. So, if your nose keeps getting runny, think about having your home inspected for mold. Sometimes a visit to the doctor isn’t the only option.
  • There are also people who have chronic respiratory issues, such as asthma. It would be wise to perform regular mold inspections if you are one of those people. Having mold in your home can make an already existing health problem worse.

Real estate business

Performing a mold inspection is extremely important, whether you’re buying, selling, or leasing a home. Nobody likes mold, so the value of your home increases if you can vouch that there isn’t any. Also, besides inspecting the roof or the swimming pool, have your dream house checked for mold before buying it. It will save you a lot of trouble in the long run, as well as quite a lot of money.

Remediation costs

Better safe than sorry. It is far more expensive to get rid of the mold that has infested your home than to perform regular inspections. All the materials infected with mold have to be removed. You cannot simply spray it and hope it disappears. And honestly, who would want to spend more money removing the mold after buying a house? Check it before you wreck it.

Peace of mind

As good a reason as any. If you are buying a new home, if there are children in your family, mold inspection becomes even more important. You want to make sure that your investment is as safe as possible, not only in terms of money spent. You need to feel at ease in your new home, and the only way to do that is to have it inspected thoroughly.
