A Mold or Water Damage Inspection for Falls Church Homes
Falls Church is a small city with a long memory. Winter Hill, once called Tyler Gardens, was first built in 1948 and has 480 units. In a 2019 commentary, the City Manager wrote that most of the City's storm drains were installed by private developers between 1940 and 1970, a good hint about when the neighborhoods around them were built.
A lot has been rebuilt since. A 2020 study in the journal Arboriculture and Urban Forestry worked from a list of more than 300 properties redeveloped in the City of Falls Church since 1994. So a Falls Church street often has a 75-year-old house next to one that is 5 years old.
Each kind has its own places to look. In the older house it may be a lower level that was finished decades ago. In the newer one it may be a leak that has not shown itself yet. We start with the areas you are concerned about, then check the places where homes most commonly have problems.
Fairfax County's Health Department states that it does not perform indoor air testing or remediation for mold. So we do the looking, and we tell you where the mold is and its likely sources, often more than one!
What Does a Mold Inspection Cost in Falls Church?

My House Was Rebuilt Recently. Is an Inspection Still Worth It?
