Salmon Creek WA Home Radon Testing
Radon Testing In Home Inspections For Salmon Creek WA Homeowners, Realtors, Buyers And Sellers
Due to the composition of the soil deposits in Salmon Creek, Washington, the homes in Salmon Creek WA are rated by City-Data as having some of the highest levels of radon gases, of all cities in the state of Washington. Radon is an odorless, tasteless, potentially deadly radioactive gas that is a known contributing cause of lung cancer. The radon gas in some of the homes in Salmon Creek originates from the decomposition of rock and soil deep underground. When radon escapes the surface, it is possible that the gas can concentrate inside a home. Andrew Tewson, with Slopeside Home Inspections, is trained to properly inspect homes for radon with the tools which accurately detect its presence in a home.
Salmon Creek WA Home Mold Sampling
Mold Sampling In Home Inspections For Salmon Creek WA Homeowners, Realtors, Buyers And Sellers
Mold in a home can cause numerous health problems for homeowners and their families. The presence of mold isn’t always readily visible, and the moisture that facilitates it can go undetected. Slopeside Home Inspections is certified to test homes for mold to help ensure they are a healthy living environment.
When mold causes property damage and presents health hazards, it can spread on walls and ceilings, or on and under floors, in a widespread and visible fashion; or, it can go undetected when it crops up inside of walls, attics, closets and cabinets.
Potential mold trouble spots in a home can include crawl spaces, basements, and attics, when insufficient ventilation and high humidity create the optimal environments for mold to grow. Other possible mold locations are the interior and exterior edges of windows and along window trim where condensation accumulates, as well as behind exterior wall siding where cracks allow water to enter the home, slowly, over time. Rooms with water sources, such as kitchens, bathrooms, pantries, utility rooms, or garages, are hot spots for mold if plumbing, faucets, pipes, or appliances leak and contribute to an environment that allows mold growth to become established.
Some of the symptoms that can result from exposure to mold can range from nose, throat, and lung irritations to itchy skin or eyes. If hay fever symptoms exhibit themselves, outside of the hay fever season, but when inside your home, that can be a sign that mold is present.
Including mold testing with a home inspection can be helpful. Mold that spreads can make a home dangerous to live in. If mold is present, it can be costly to both remove the mold and repair the affected structures.
