Urgent Information About the Health of Your Mississauga Home

Over the years, the way of conducting real estate business has changed and improved in many ways and one of the "standard" practices that has been incorporated into most every transaction in an effort to protect my clients is a home inspection.
Recently however, I have come across an urgent health issue that everyone should be aware of.  Let me tell you what happened.
I sold a beautiful home to a lovely couple.  This home was in a great area, the home had been beautifully maintained with newer roof, newer windows and all in all a very "loved" home.  We performed a home inspection and a few items came up that were dealt with but it was moisture free and generally in great state of repair...and we decided to go ahead with the purchase.
Months later my clients were ready to paint one of the bedrooms and removed the baseboard only to find evidence of MOULD under the baseboard.
I immediately arranged for the home inspector to come back for another inspection of the area and also an indoor airquality test to be performed.  I contacted Mark Connolly of Mold Assessment Group GTA who performed an air quality test only to find an extraordinarily high presence of the very worst of moulds/molds!  Now here is the scary part...there was no moisture present in the walls at all and no evidence of black mould apparent on the wall!  Both the home inspector and the mold inspector performed moisture testing!
Apparently, a single occurence of moisture perhaps a one time leak...can be responsible for mold and just the moisture in the air can cause it to grow!
Here is my advice...have an indoor air quality test performed on your home for mould/mold and/or allergens.  You just never know what may be lurking in the walls, floors, ceilings.  There are many moulds that are completely harmless but some or not.  Protect your family and your home by having an indoor air quality test performed.
Mark Connolly from Mold Assessment Group GTA is a great contact as his ONLY business is testing and he does not perform any remediation so there is no conflict of interest.  Contact me if you would like more information.
