One of the newest, most common threats in real estate is purchasing or renting a piece of property that is infested with mold. This issue of mold is not to be taken lightly, as mold can cause severe physical and emotional damage to you and your loved ones.

    Mold is ubiquitous, and its dangers have been recognized since biblical times. Although most forms of mold are not dangerous, certain strains have been recognized to be toxic, including stachybotrys which has been blamed with causing a variety of personal injuries. Toxic mold claims rose dramatically in the last few years as large jury awards received extensive media attention. Generally cases involve the application of settled law to the new facts presented in toxic mold cases.

    Commonly used construction materials and furnishings provide nutrients that support mold growth. If not properly and promptly remediated, mold can spread quickly causing extensive property damage and, in some cases, requiring the complete demolition of the building.
