Although I have recently written about this, I must reiterate the gravity in my day to day dealings. Often, (Arrayofsolutions.com, Douglas Whitehead) I have been sequestered by frantic home sellers to assist them in passing the inspection which the sale of the home is contingent upon. There is no rhyme or reason as to how some homes, severely affected by the presence of mold both in the home and the crawl space pass or fail their inspection. One standard that is definite is a moisture level below twenty percent in the crawl space. That is black and white and consistently enforced. What is a mystery to me is how some gorgeous homes that have been meticulously maintained are given a failing grade while others in much, much worse condition are given a passing grade. The trauma occurs when a home sale progresses to being under contract and the buyer hires a private inspector or mold remediator and they say that mold is present in the crawl space. I have witnessed what could be a thousand dollar job if done prior to the sale grow to a three thousand plus job at the behest of the purchaser. Once again, I say; ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’. If you or someone you know is selling their home, I can provide a full inspection, with the knowledge of what local Upstate inspectors are looking for, for only one hundred dollars in the Greater Grenville’s area. Having worked as a licensed builder in the upstate, I will be able to tell you where your code requirements are and if you need to make some repairs.
Call Douglas Whitehead at ‘Arrayofsolutions.com’ today for an inspection to prevent the pitfalls that many good people are falling victim to in the Upstate area. Not only do I provide a complete twelve-page inspection report with detailed problem areas, I also am able to look at another companies recommendations and in some cases, prove that their opinion is incorrect. The best job I get is one that costs my company no money and requires no further labor on my part. In closing, call Douglas Whitehead at ‘Arrayofsolutions.com’ today for an affordable inspection or a one hundred dollar mold test with same day results if done before three pm.
