ABSTRACT

Mold investigators (“inspectors”) often diverge on the issue as to what constitutes a  significant mold presence and what should be done about it. This question often arises when there is a topical presence of a fungal growth that does not present itself in what is considered a typical setting for molds that   may  pose a potentially significant health or property structural issue. In such cases a critical decision is made that may result in a foiled sale if the fungal activity observed is not recognized in its proper context. This typically results in  unneeded, unwarranted, extensive and expensive “remediation and/or abatement” procedures causing delay, expenses and often unfounded fear in a buyer resulting in lost sales. Some of the "molds" were actually edible. 
 
The investigator in this review has noted in almost every instance where “mold” was discovered in an attic or other uninhabitable areas where extensive treatment and application of coatings were applied this type of activity was clearly  unwarranted and resulted in ineffective  efforts in the long term.
 
Herein is set forth a clear understanding what constitutes  a mold risk, what is not a risk  and the actions that can be taken if needed to be taken when a fungal presence is noted in non habitable areas.
