Here are some key factors to consider when identifying potential prospects for a mold inspection:
β’ Buildings with high humidity or water damage. Places like basements, bathrooms, kitchens, etc. are prone to excess moisture which can lead to mold growth.
β’ Buildings with a history of flooding or water leaks. Any structure that has experienced significant water intrusion in the past is a good prospect for a mold inspection.
β’ Older buildings, especially those constructed before the 1970s. Older buildings are more likely to have materials and systems conducive to mold such as porous concrete, asbestos, faulty plumbing, etc.
β’ Public buildings like schools, hospitals, apartments, etc. There is more at stake with mold issues in public and multi-family buildings. Owners may want to get inspected regularly.
β’ Complaints of musty smells, visible mold spots or health issues. If there are signs of mold or related problems being reported, that indicates the need for a professional mold inspection.
β’ When selling a property. Mold inspections are often required or recommended when properties are being sold or traded. This includes both residential and commercial real estate.
β’ Routine maintenance. For some properties, periodic mold inspections may be warranted as part of an ongoing maintenance and risk management program. Some businesses may inspect for mold quarterly or annually.
β’ Industry requirements. Certain industries may have regulations requiring mold inspections, such as schools, healthcare facilities, food service operations, etc. These types of businesses are obvious prospects.
