"This house makes me sick!"

Mold is everywhere when we get our Spring rains in Kansas City, but you really don’t want the mold INSIDE your house. Whether it’s the house you currently live in or one you’re thinking of buying, call to schedule a mold test for the health of your family. A recent documentary on the BBC chronicled a family of five where each family member suffered from respiratory problems, headaches, chronic fatigue and other health issues. The cause was simply the mold in their house. Once the mold was eliminated, so were their health problems.

When we test for mold, we look for visible mold to sample and we also check the air in the house for invisible mold spores. The key is to find the cause of the mold. Mold needs moisture to grow, so we look for moisture entry points like leaky roofs, basements, or water pipes, anything that could add moisture to a mold problem.

Having a mold test done, perhaps along with your home inspection, gives you added peace of mind for your family’s health and safety. Call today to schedule your inspection and/or mold test, 913-268-0222. Whole house inspections, radon testing, and mold testing, we can do it all for you.
