Do I need a mold inspection in the Keys?

By Steve Conley

Short Answer

Given the tropical climate and high humidity of the Florida Keys, mold inspections are recommended, especially for older homes or properties with past water intrusion issues. A mold inspection can identify hidden problems before purchase.

Given the humidity and salt air, mold is a real concern in Keys homes -- especially older ones without modern ventilation. I recommend mold testing if the home shows any signs of moisture issues, musty odors, or has been vacant for an extended period.
