Air Quality/Mold Test

At Kore Home Inspections we have two ways to detect mold in a home. We can either swab concerning areas or do an air quality test. Either one takes about 45 minutes to collect the samples. During the collection process, we will conduct a complementary walkthrough of the home and indicate any concerns that may contribute to moisture and mold growth in the home. An air quality test will sample the living space to the exterior to determine the presence of mold in the air. Either way, collections are sent to a lab for testing and review. The results from the lab will indicate if mold was present in the sample and what kind. Different kinds of mold will have different effects on the body. The report will detail the different effects like allergy, disease, and toxin potential. Most results can be expected within 24 hours.

The Air Quality/Mold Test requires a signature on the Mold Inspection Agreement. An example of the agreement may be viewed below

If KORE HOME INSPECTIONS LLC is the substantially prevailing party in any such litigation, the CLIENT shall pay all legal costs, expenses and attorney’s fees of the KORE HOME INSPECTIONS LLC in defending said claims. The CLIENT further agrees that the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, Inc. (“Association”) is not a party to this Agreement, and any action against it or its officers, agents or employees allegedly arising out of this Agreement or KORE HOME INSPECTIONS LLC’s relationship with the Association must be brought only in the District Court of Boulder County, Colorado. If the Association substantially prevails in any such action, the CLIENT shall pay all legal costs, expenses and attorney’s fees of the Association in defending said claims.
