Mold is a growing concern. National
media attention has alerted the public to the destructive and possibly toxic dangers of hidden mold spores that could affect
their family's health and their homes. EPA studies indicate that air levels of indoor pollutants may be two to three
times higher than outdoor levels. Most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors and are not aware of
the health hazards of this pollutant. You owe it to yourself to minimize your exposure to mold spores in the indoor
environment. Test for mold TODAY!
There are several ways you can become exposed to mold: *Breathing
in the spores from the air *Skin contact from handling an item that has mold growing on it. *Eating without properly
washing your hands after handling moldy objects.
Since there has been so much media hype surrounding mold, prospective
home buyers want a home that has been mold inspected. Mold sampling has become a standard practice during a home inspection.
You should not buy a home with mold, sell a home with mold, or live in a home with mold.
Assure
Home Inpection Services conducts the following services:
Visual Inspection: A visual
mold inspection is the initial step in identifying possible contamination problems. It will identify any visible water
leaks or moisture stains on ceilings, walls, floors, or under counters. Air Sampling: The purpose
of air sampling is to determine the type and amount of airborne mold in a building. Air sampling may be necessary if
the presence of mold, allergens or toxins is suspected but cannot be identified by a visual inspection. Tape/Swab
Sampling: Tape/Swab samples are usually collected from visible moldy surfaces by wiping the area with a sterile
swab. This type of sampling is used to identify specific mold types.
Mold Remediation:
Once the building has a visual mold inspection and the mold circumstance evaluated, action can be planned to remediate the
mold and prevent future contamination. Based upon site evaluations and sampling lab analysis results, Assure
Home Inspection Services can provide a detailed written mold inspection report, remediate the mold, and fix the water
problem.

The US EPA estimates 21,000 Americans die of radon-induce lung cancer
every year. The American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologies (AARST) estimate 10 million homes and 38 million
Americans are at risk from dangerous radon exposure.
Dangerous levels of indoor radon have been found in every
state in houses with or without basements--old and new.
Radon testing has become routine in real estate transactions.
Most corporate relocation services require that the seller assume all responsibility for radon testing and remediation. High
radon levels are easily and inexpensively fixed by Assure Home Inspection Services. Home buyers who
do not address this issue now may be forced to deal with it when they become home sellers. Knowledgeable buyers are
asking for a radon inspection and remediation clause in the sales contract.
Assure Home Inspection
Services and A-Plus Radon Detection are both trained and licensed Radalink Affiliates. Our comprehensive
radon measurement services produce reliable test results you and your family can depend on.
During a minimum
48-hour sampling period, the radon concentration, room temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure are continuously
measured and recorded at hourly intervals.
Upon ending the test, collected data is instantly transmitted to our
analysis center where it is carefully reviewed. The hourly readings and multiple tamper detection features enable our
analysts to check for adherence to the requirement for closed-house conditions and routine weather.
A Certified
Radalink Radon Report is processed and e-mailed to you within the hour of the data transmission.
Best of
all, a Radalink Radon Test helps to ensure a healthy home and surprise-free sale in the future. Radon problems are very
easily and inexpensively fixed by Assure Home Inspection Service, a NRPP/State qualified contractor.
Although, the cost may vary depending on the size and design of the home, it generally ranges from $1200-$3000. Properly installed mitigation systems really work, permanently reducing concentrations to acceptable levels. Since
most designs prevent soil gases from entering the home, the occupants will likely see a reduction in humidity, mold, mildew,
methane, pesticide gases and other air quality problems as well. Very little maintenance is required and operating cost
are generally less than $10 per month for fan electricity and minor loss of
conditioned air.
Since reduction systems lower the radon concentrations so effectively and eliminate peak
fluctuations, living in a mitigated home reduces one's risk of radon related lung cancer to as low as reasonably achievable.
