How can I check for mold myself?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-check-mold.htm">Checking for mold yourself</a> is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. </p><p>Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:</p><ul><li><p><b>Basement</b>: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. </p></li><li><p><b>Bathrooms</b>: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. </p></li><li><p><b>Kitchen</b>: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.</p></li><li><p><b>Attic</b>: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How does a community well affect my mortgage or insurance?

• <div><p>The age of the well, installation methods, and maintenance logs can affect your home insurance premiums and any potential future claim. Mortgage companies can request proof of water quality before they approve the loan. Review all well information, including the Shared Well Agreement, before you make an offer to purchase.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect inspection costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on pipe length, accessibility, and whether additional services are required.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect audit costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.</p></div>

Q: How do I know which type of electrical inspection to get?

• <div><p>Full home electrical inspections are mandatory if you&rsquo;re buying a new home, but if you&rsquo;re just looking for a safety checkup, you have some flexibility. If you don&rsquo;t have any concerns and your property is relatively new, a basic inspection is usually sufficient. If it&rsquo;s been a long time since your home was last inspected, or it&rsquo;s an older home, a full home inspection can help catch any concerns that may fly under the radar.</p></div>
