Island Living Today - Home Inspection Series - Moisture & Mold

Home Inspection Series: Moisture & Mold

You’re getting ready to buy a home, you book a home inspection, and you get the report back. There’s a dark patch in the attic. Should you start panicking? Maybe, maybe not. 

Buying a home is a huge investment so it’s understandable that you’d be worried about the condition of your new home. In the first installment of Island Living Today’s Home Inspection Series, we’ll explore what to do if moisture (or the dreaded mold) is detected. 

On April 3, we chatted with a certified professional inspector and a property restoration expert and discussed:

• When moisture or mold is a cause for concern
• Steps buyers and sellers can take if water damage is suspected
• How to prevent and recover from unwanted moisture in the home
