#232 How To Check A Home For Mould Before You Rent Or Buy

July 15, 2026 • Natalie K. Douglas & Amie Skilton • Episode 232

You’ve found the perfect house. Great location. Gorgeous kitchen. Plenty of natural light.

But is there mould hiding behind the walls? 😬

In this episode, we’re sharing 5 practical things you can do when inspecting a home to help identify potential water damage, moisture and mould problems — before you sign a lease or buy the place.

Amie is a certified mould testing technician and, after inspecting more properties than any human should reasonably have to endure, she’s downloaded some of her mould-detecting brain into this episode.

We’re talking drive-by red flags, flood history, moisture meters, sneaky Swiffer cloth samples, chatting to the neighbours and why sometimes you need to channel your inner CIA agent at an open home.

Whether you're renting, buying or simply wondering if your current home might be contributing to your symptoms, this episode will help you start looking at buildings very differently.

Because once you know the signs of water damage… you really can’t unsee them.

And as we always say: you can’t heal in an unhealthy environment.

🎧 Listen now — and please, spread the mould awareness. Not the actual mould.
