Selling ConcernsPutting a home up for sale is fraught with many uncertainties that most people deal with very well, but when it comes to finding a possible health issue in the home, such as a mold infestation the value of the home plummets so much that all other considerations are secondary. The Realtor can suggest mold remediation or removal to their client- preferably before the home goes up for sale. To help move things along, the realtor should have a company they can count on to quickly inspect the home and deliver a free estimate for mold remediation because if they don’t the client may move onto a new realtor. To keep the potential client from despair, the Realtor can explain that all mold problems begin with a moisture issue originating from a plumbing leak or lack of ventilation – both could just require an inexpensive repair, such as fixing the plumbing leak, turning the air conditioner on, or installing fans. Once the moisture issue is resolved, only the cleanup remains, such as killing the mold colonies, removing the overabundance of mold spores, repainting the walls and/or scrubbing woodwork to remove any ugly spotting left behind. Many of ECO Mold Remediation’s are completed within a week.
Realtors and their clients may also face a home inspection, done right before closing, reporting that mold was found in the attic or crawl space, the 2 most likely places for mold to be found. No fears or worries that the closing will be held up by a prolonged mold remediation project because ECO Mold Remediation of Charlottesville, if we’re contracted, can usually perform a Mold Remediation within a week. Many times, the moisture issues are caused by poor ventilation issues that can be fixed with an attic fan to ventilate the attic and/or a dehumidifier added to the crawl space to reduce the humidity level. It usually is not as horrible as the scary media makes it out to be (only the most sensational mold infestations are reported).
