When you are selling a home, you become a resource for your customers. Many are new to the area and don't know whom to call when they have an issue with their home. Real estate professionals should have a list of dependable vendors they can recommend to a client or customer in need.

Any home builder knows that mold is everywhere. It is tough to find a carpenter or specialty contractor who hasn't encountered some mold in the process of doing their job. In the past a contractor would simply remove the moldy material, treat it, or cover it up. With advancements in our understanding of mold, an industry was formed to deal with mold issues. With that, mold certification became available with standards that professionals in the industry should follow. A contractor's liability increases if he is not certified or does not follow industry standards.

It is always best to use natural ventilation when possible. It is typical to provide 1 square foot of ventilation for every 150-250 square feet of floor space. To be effective, vents should be placed opposite each other to allow cross ventilation. Vents should be placed on each side of corners. Corners are usually most susceptible to condensation due to stagnant air. In our local area it is common to build on hilly lots. As a result, it is common to have one or more sides of the home below grade where there is no opportunity to vent.

A sump pump system is good insurance against catastrophic damage to your home. Not everyone needs a sump pump. Homes built high to the surrounding grade with good draining soil can resist some of the atmospheric rivers Tahoe is known to get. It is always best to handle ground and surface water intrusion from the exterior first. This is typically achieved with drain tile systems or "French drains" that are installed on the perimeter of the home. The drains typically consist of perforated pipe that is set in a bed of gravel to the depth of the home's footings.

At Tahoe Mold and Water, we take a whole-house approach to not only address mold issues, but also provide mold prevention. A commonly overlooked part of many mold inspections is an assessment of the potential causes of the problem. Some are obvious and sudden; others are the result of bad design or long-term problems. Our goal is to find out if you have a mold issue, and if so, how to repair and prevent it from returning. As an inspector and remediation contractor, we provide a convenient process for identifying and resolving mold issues.
