Mold Inspections
At Classic City Home Inspection, we offer professional mold inspections for homes and properties throughout Athens, Watkinsville, Winder, GA, and surrounding areas. Mold can be a hidden health hazard, often forming in areas where moisture goes unnoticed—such as behind walls, under flooring, in crawlspaces, or around leaky plumbing. Whether you’re buying a home, concerned about a musty odor, or responding to recent water damage, a mold inspection can help identify issues before they become serious.
David, an experienced and licensed home inspector, brings the knowledge and care needed to evaluate mold risks and provide clear, honest insight into what’s happening inside your home.
Why Mold Inspections Matter
Mold can affect both your home’s structure and your health. Long-term exposure to mold spores may cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health concerns—especially for children, seniors, or individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems. Structurally, mold often grows in areas of trapped moisture and can lead to wood rot, drywall damage, and insulation breakdown if left untreated.
A professional mold inspection is your first line of defense. It helps:
- Confirm whether mold is present
- Identify moisture sources contributing to growth
- Locate hidden problem areas behind walls or in crawlspaces
- Provide documentation for landlords, buyers, sellers, or remediation specialists
- Offer peace of mind after leaks, flooding, or HVAC issues
What We Look For
During a mold inspection, David conducts a detailed evaluation of the property, focusing on areas where mold is most likely to thrive. This includes:
- Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas
- Basements and crawlspaces
- Attics and poorly ventilated rooms
- Areas around windows, plumbing fixtures, and water heaters
- HVAC systems and ductwork
David uses visual assessment methods to identify signs of visible mold, water staining, discoloration, warping, or high humidity. If elevated risk or mold presence is suspected, we may recommend further testing or remediation by a certified mold specialist.
