Some people are sensitive to mold and exposure can cause respiratory irritation and other allergy-type symptoms.
Healthy Homes is a recent development from HUD and the EPA, reflecting a desire for a more holistic approach to home inspections. Inspectors analyze and prioritize health and injury risks in the home. Environmental Hazards Detection LLC provides the full 29-step inspection.
