Why Inspect
for Mold?
The South Florida climate, construction
designs and building codes, lend themselves to the growth of MOLD. It has been
determined by the E.P.A. and the C.D.C., that mold can present certain health
risks. Due to the diversity of our immune system, adverse reactions to mold
differ.
- At Precise

sophisticated field tools to help sample

Molds not only affect humans and animals,
but also can degrade the structural integrity of certain building materials,
possibly putting a structure at risk. Insurance companies are now denying mold
claims and excluding or severely limiting mold damage coverage on home owners
insurance policies.
It is therefore advisable to ascertain the
presence of mold, and the types, so that that proper remediation can be
accomplished. Under the ideal conditions, molds grow fast, so the sooner mold is
discovered, one can minimize the remediation expense and reduce exposure to and
thus minimize health risks associated with mold.
Conducting a professional mold inspection
will help you determine if the indoor environment and structure have been
compromised and to assist you in making the correct decisions. A mold inspection
is "an investment prevention".
