First Time Home Buyers did the home have any water intrusion into it

First Time Home Buyers did the home have any water intrusion into it, a having a Mold Inspection and Testing can help to know for sure. When your going to buy a new or a used home, you should think about also have a Mold Inspection.

Here are some question you really should ask yourself, when your looking at homes on the market.

• Was there any kind of musty smell in the home or other buildings?
• Was there at all any visible signs of water damage in any where in the home?
• Did the home have a wet basement?
• Did the home your looking at, ever had any roof leaks?
• Did the home ever have a plumbing leak?
• Does the home have a crawlspace?
• Did you have any allergic symptoms, as you were looking at the home? Like sneezing, runny or itchy nose, watering or itchy eyes, did anyone start wheezing and coughing, or an asthma attack as you viewed the home?

On behafe of Leilani with Souza Realty out in California, I'm adding this tip to the list, from her fine comment.

• If the interior has been freshly painted, look even harder...it may been done to cover up something.
