Brian owns a nice one-bedroom condo in a gated community that he is renting out to a family that has recently relocated to the area for work. Brian is delighted with the tenants; they like him as their landlord. Recently, a pipe from the neighbor’s bathroom above his unit burst and damaged the ceilings, walls, and flooring of the unit he is renting out to his tenant. Brian gets the dreaded call in the early morning hours; half awake, he answers the call. His tenant, Mary, reports the issue and needs help immediately because she and her family need to use the bathrooms and are afraid of mold. Brian tells the tenant to use some rags to wipe the water off the floor and that he’ll call someone in the morning to ascertain the issue further.
Because the home is in an HOA, Brian contacts the office to see if they can fix it. The HOA or home insurance may often cover the damages. In the morning, Brian goes to the house to assess the damage, and there appears to be some mold starting to grow. Mold can take 24-48 hours to grow in a water-damage situation. Concerned for his tenant, Brian calls a few mold remediation professionals. Still, they all inform you that he’ll need to first talk to a mold inspector to assess and test for mold at the home so they can ascertain the extent of the mold problem and a solution that the remediation professionals will use to perform any remediation if necessary.
Luckily, one of the mold remediation companies Brian called recommended a professional they have worked with many times in the past and really like their reports, so Brian got their phone number and gave them a call. The company sounded very professional, and Brian asked for the inspection and testing costs. Brian was informed that a complete condo assessment would cost $570. Brian made an appointment to have them come out to assess mold conditions at the home.
The expert took air and surface samples, visually inspected every room, and used an infrared camera, a moisture meter, and a relative humidity meter. The inspector documented his findings, and before he left, he told Brian that his report would be ready within a few days. Once Brian received the report, it showed very detailed information regarding the air sample results with the location of the samples, type of mold spores, quantities, and other helpful information regarding possible health impacts of the mold. The report also included recommendations. Now Brian had to schedule mold remediation for his house, but luckily, he wouldn’t have to spend any money; the neighbors’ homeowners insurance and HOA would cover the cost of remediation and repairs.
