WATER INTRUSION AND MOLD GROWTH: Recent studies have shown that various forms of water intrusion 132. affect many homes.Water intrusion may occur from exterior moisture entering the home and/or interior moisture 133. leaving the home. 134. Examples of exterior moisture sources may be 135. • improper flashing around windows and doors, 136. • improper grading, 137. • flooding, 138. • roof leaks. 139. Examples of interior moisture sources may be 140. 0 plumbing leaks, 141. • condensation(caused by indoor humidity that is too high or surfaces that are too cold), 142. • overflow from tubs,sinks or toilets, 143. • firewood stored indoors, 144. • humidifier use, 145. a inadequate venting of kitchen and bath humidity, 146, 0 improper venting of clothes dryer exhaust outdoors(including electrical dryers), 147. a line-drying laundry indoors, 148. • houseplants-watering them can generate large amounts of moisture. 149. In addition to the possible structural damage water intrusion may do to the property,water intrusion may also result 150. in the growth of mold, mildew and other fungi. Mold growth may also cause structural damage to the property. 151. Therefore, it is very important to detect and remediate water intrusion problems. 152. Fungi are present everywhere in our environment,both indoors and outdoors.Many molds are beneficial to humans. 153. However,molds have the ability to produce mycotoxins that may have a potential to cause serious health problems, 154. particularly in some immunocompromised individuals and people who have asthma or allergies to mold. 155. To complicate matters,mold growth is often difficult to detect,as it frequently grows within the wall structure.If you 156. have a concern about water intrusion or the resulting mold/mildew/fungi growth,you may want to consider having 157. the property inspected for moisture problems before entering into a purchase agreement or as a condition of your 158. purchase agreement.Such an analysis is particularly advisable if you observe staining or any musty odors on the 159. property. 160.
