The Silent Invader

Mold silently invades our homes without our knowledge, unseen, unheard and unheralded until it's too late. By the time we see or smell the mold, it has taken hold, colonized and become an unwanted and unwelcome resident in our home.

  • SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT MOLD IN MY HOUSE?

    ABSOLUTELY!

    Mold can cause serious health problems, as well as damage & destruction of building materials. Mold should be treated as soon as possible.

  • CAN MOLD MAKE ME & MY FAMILY SICK?

    AGAIN ABSOLUTELY!

    Mold can & does affect the health of people exposed to it. People are mainly exposed to mold by breathing airborne tiny fragments or spores. Exposure through skin contact & by ingesting it is also a health concern.

    ARE RISKS GREATER FOR SOME PEOPLE?

    Mold’s presence affects many people in many different ways. However, the long-term exposure to the presence of in-door mold growth will eventually become unhealthy for anyone. People with compromised or weakened immune systems will be more severely affected and sooner, than others. These may include;

    • New-borns, Infants & Children
    • The Elderly
    • Individuals with Respiratory Issues
    • Persons with HIV/Aids
    • Chemotherapy Patients
    • Organ Transplant Recipients

     

     

     

     

    WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS I MIGHT SEE?

    Mold’s most common health symptoms resemble Allergy &/or Cold/Flu symptoms. Although other & more serious health problems may occur, initial symptoms affecting people exposed to mold include;

    • Nasal Congestion
    • Dry Cough
    • Sore Throat
    • Watery or Burning Eyes
    • Aggravated Asthma
    • Difficulty Breathing
    • Respiratory Illness
    • Nose Bleeds
    • Headaches
    • Skin rashes

     

  • THE THREE BASIC MOLD GROUPS

    Allergenic Molds

    Allergenic molds do not usually produce life-threatening health effects and are most likely to affect those who are already allergic or asthmatic. The human system's response to allergenic molds tends to be relatively mild, typically producing scratchy throats, eye and nose irritations and rashes. However these symptoms will continue to persist until the mold is eradicated. And prolonged exposure may lead to permanent Health Issues.

     

     


    Pathogenic Molds
    Pathogenic molds usually produce some type of infection. Infections which may become recurrent until the mold is eradicated. They can also cause serious health effects in infants, small children, the elderly and persons with suppressed or compromised immune systems, or recently operated on.

     

     

     

     

    Toxigenic Molds
    Mycotoxins can cause serious health effects in all segments of the population. These agents have toxic effects ranging from short-term irritation to immuno-suppressants and possibly cancer.

  • Personal Experience Drive Us!

    Personal experience speaks to what drives us to Total Excellence!

    Tony Fernandez, our Founder and Lead Inspector tells of what motivates him;

    “My wife & children suffer several allergies and asthma. In one of our previous homes sub-standard inspections failed to detect the presence of mold which was severely affecting my family’s health." 

    Coming from a background managing resort hotels in the tropics, I knew all too well about the possibilities of mold.  Eventually having to take matters in my own hands, served as an eye-opening experience and education.”

    “A key factor in motivating me to become a Home Inspector (CHI) and to become a Certified Mold Inspector (CMI) & a Certified Mold Remediation Contractor (CMRC) was that personal up-close experience.”

    “We went through difficult times and spent a lot of money on medical bills and medication, until we found and corrected the cause of the illnesses; the Mold!"

    "My commitment is to ensure that no one else’s family has to endure the uncertainty, concern, heartache and fear that comes from seeing their loved ones' health deteriorating like I did. And especially not when the cause can be easily remedied.”

FREE VISUAL MOLD INSPECTION WITH HOME INSPECTIONS!

Rn HomeTech provides a FREE visual Mold Inspection** with each of our Home Inspections. Which means our Home Inspectors will look for and report any visual mold found in the course of your Home inspection!

Many other companies offer this, but their Inspectors are rarely individually Certified Mold Inspectors (CMI). Ours Are!

IN-DEPTH MOLD INSPECTIONS,
TESTS & ANALYSIS

For Buyers and/or existing Home Owners, Rn HomeTech offers a full range of more in-depth professional Mold Inspections.

These inspections include but are not limited to; measuring moisture conditions, locating and analyzing contributing moisture sources, testing & classifying the mold**, determining the correct remediation process and finally an inspection report.

From Basement to Attic the whole property will be inspected for mold & its causes!

We will then provide you with a detailed report explaining not just the type of mold(s) found, but also the necessary steps and products required to completely remediate the mold in your home.

 

**Because Rn HomeTech is also a Mold Remediation services provider, to avoid the perception of a Conflict of Interest, if mold is found as part of the Free Visual Mold Inspection, our Inspector may recommend conducting an analysis of the mold-like substance to confirm it is Mold and determine the type. The mold sample will be tested by an independent National renown Laboratory, will entail a modest cost and a copy the results forwarded to the client.
