Mold, Radon, and Pests: The Hidden Hazards Every Homeowner Should Know

A home can look picture-perfect on the outside, but what you can't see could affect your health and your wallet. That's why specialized inspections - like mold testing, radon testing, and wood-destroying insect inspections - matter more than you think.

Mold: The Silent Intruder

Mold loves damp, dark spaces (hello, Akron basements). Left unchecked, it can trigger allergies, asthma, and even structural damage. A simple air or surface test during your inspection can tell you if there's a hidden issue.

Radon: The Invisible Risk

Radon is a naturally occurring gas that's the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. You can't see it, smell it, or taste it - the only way to know is by testing. Ohio is considered a high-risk area, which makes radon testing a must for homeowners here.

Wood-Destroying Insects: Small but Mighty

Termites and other pests can cause serious structural damage before you even know they're there. A WDI inspection gives you peace of mind and, in many cases, is required for certain loans.

Protecting Your Family and Your Investment

Specialty inspections aren't just "extras" - they're about protecting your health, safety, and the long-term value of your property.

When it comes to your home, what you don't know can hurt you. Make sure you add these critical tests to your next inspection for total peace of mind.
