Over 40 years in the construction trades and I have never seen a code compliance inspector get on a roof to validate proper installation of a roof. "Who is watching the roofer"!! The most common problems I find on new construction homes are at the roof areas because it's an area no one can see from the ground.

What is Mold?
Molds are microscopic #fungi that are found almost everywhere, #inside and outdoors, year round. Sensitivity to mold varies from person to person. One person may react severely to levels that would cause no symptoms in another. Most susceptible to #mold are infants & children, elderly, immune compromised people and people with #respiratorydisease problems such as #allergies and #asthma.
Exposure to mold & mold #spores can cause a range of allergic reactions such as eye irritation, runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, nasal and sinus congestion, coughing, sneezing, difficulty breaking, rhinitis #asthmatic episodes, #headaches & fatigue.
Molds act as nature’s decomposers breaking down organic matter, and can be many colors - white, orange, green, or black. Molds release spores into the air, which then enter our homes through windows, doors, cracks, and vents. Old spores can also be carried in on clothing pets and foot traffic. 1 type of black mold is called Stachybotrys #blackmold . It is rare, white or greenish-black to black mold that grows on materials with high cellulose content that has been wet for several days. Cellulose rich materials include drywall, wood, paper, and drop ceiling tiles.
There a scenario that happens on many residential homes called " Stack Effect ". "Stack Effect" is when the attic of the structure gets to over 120 degrees during a hot summer and cannot vent due to inadequate #roof #ventilation . It draws up the #moisture from the #basement or a #crawlspace . The "Effect" pulls all the moisture from the areas below up into the structural areas causing damage & mold.
The best way to control mold is to control the moisture. Stopping the source of the water or humidity is the most important step in cleanup and prevention.
Things you can do to prevent mold:
-Not all moisture problems are the result of leaks, condensation or floods. Humidity levels above 60 percent can promote mold growth. In humid months, try using an air conditioner or dehumidifiers to keep the humidity in your home below 50 %
-Exhaust showers, baths, and cooking areas to allow steam to escape outdoor. Also, be sure your clothes dryer is vented outdoors and avoid regular drying of your clothing on indoor drying lines or racks.
-Promptly attend to #leaking pipes, #flooded basements, roof leaks, ice dams, and other sources of #water infiltration
-Humidifiers increase the moisture in your homes. If you use a humidifier, ensure that it is set properly to prevent excessive humidity.
-Insulate pipes and install chimney liners to prevent #condensation n
-Put a plastic cover over dirt in crawlspaces to prevent moisture coming up from the ground
-Use area rugs on concrete floors that can be taken up and washed often. A #vapor barrier may be necessary if carpet is installed over concrete.

I'm not sure if I will ever fully understand housing prices but I have worked in developments installing natural gas and I have seen just how fast and chaotic a house can be built. I used to have pictures of mind-boggling amounts of nails that missed the mark, I'm talking before drywall is put up, you can see nails sticking through in such quantities that you think the walls would just blow off. I truly appreciate that there are inspectors like you out there actually caring about the safety and quality of the work done. Thank you. God bless.
@@PredictableOutcast thank you for the comment.
Buying a home is the most money that a consumer will spend in their life time and it is very important to understand the condition of it.
