I moved to Gainesville, FL with my family over 35 years ago. We moved to The Hammock on one of the last designated scenic roads in Alachua County, Millhopper Road.  Millhopper Road is home to Devil's Millhopper State Geological Site, which is a park containing a giant sinkhole you can walk down into.  Millhopper Road is also home to the 7000 acre San Felasco State Park, which has miles of walking trails.  San Felasco has another entrance off of HWY 441 in the Alachua/Progress Park area and on this side of the park you may walk, cycle or ride horses.  The Millhopper Road side is strcitly for walking.There are not many lakes within Gainesville, but The Hammock does have a private one for the homes directly on the lake.  Most of the homes on the west side of the neighborhood are lake front...

Does it smell musty in your home or office? Are you having difficulty breathing? Or, are you experiencing headaches and sneezing frequently? If so, mold could be the culprit. In this case, an indoor air quality test is necessary. Sometimes, however, the test may not be that necessary. This is often the case where the cause of the mold growth is pretty obvious. For example, when your home’s roof is leaking. What constitutes a need for a mold testing is not knowing whether or not there is mold in your Orlando home. If you’re purchasing a home, having the air tested for mold presence is in your best interest. This is because the outcome of the mold test could alter the decision to continue with the transaction or the terms of the real estate transaction. Purchasing a home and then discover...

Common Causes of Mold Here are some of the common causes of mold: (Gainesville, and Ocala, FL) Humidity: If you live in a humid climate, the possibility of mold is very high as this fungus thrives in humid places. In places like Gainesville, The Villages and Ocala, Florida, where it rains constantly, the humidity is naturally high, which is why you may need a mold assessment. Leaking Pipes or Roof: More often than not, it’s a water leak within the structure of the house resulting in mold formation. A leaking pipe is the most common reason for mold behind drywall and under the sink. Also, if the roof is damaged and leaks water, it can also cause mold on the roof and even the floor. Winter Condensation: In winters, a condensation layer can form on surfaces because of fluctuation in temper...

Why a Commercial Mold Inspection needed? Most lawsuits allege that mold problems could have been avoided, so commercial real estate owners need to show due diligence by investigating any suspected mold problem. We can document your due diligence in investigating mold issues and determine whether they exist at all. We also can provide expert witness testimony. Toxic molds, commonly referred to as black mold, are more dangerous than ordinary molds because their spores contain poisonous mycotoxins. In concentrated amounts, mycotoxins can cause skin blistering, nosebleeds, asthma symptoms, or chest pains, among other things. In extreme situations, they can even cause shock and death. Unfortunately, there is no cure for a mold allergy, but there are ways to reduce the symptoms. While a chan...

Applying for a mortgage won't be the only time you hear the term "hard credit check"; applying for any loan may result in one. You may also hear the term "soft credit check." Unlike a hard credit check, a soft credit check typically does not affect your credit score and may be used for things like background checks. #thehelpfulagent #home #houseexpert #house #listreports #homeowner #themoreyouknow #realestate #realtor #realestateagent #icanhelp #finances #happyhome #happyhomeowners
