Naturally Occurring Gases A small percentage of homes in the United States experience elevated levels of radon and/or methane gas or other naturally occurring gases. These are naturally occurring gases which rise up and escape from the soil. This phenomenon can occur in any home, regardless of the type of home or who builds it. We claim no expertise in the measurement or reduction of these gases in homes, nor do we provide any advice to Homeowners as to acceptable levels or possible health hazards of the gases. As to radon, you may wish to obtain a test kit that meets the EPA protocol for measuring the level of radon gas in your home. EPA publishes a list which provides information on EPA-approved suppliers of such test kits. Further information is available through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the applicable state environmental protection office. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE PRESENCE OF NATURALLY OCCURRING GASES, SUCH AS RADON AND/OR METHANE, AT OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. Sound Although our homes meet or exceed the code requirements for sound attenuation, there remains the possibility that you will be able to hear sounds from interior and exterior sources through the windows, floors and walls. If noise is caused by a construction defect, such defect will be warranted as provided here; however, noise from whatever source cannot be excluded entirely. Mold Mold is a naturally occurring fungus which is spread by microscopic spores. Homes are not designed to exclude the possibility of mold spores circulating within the home and the subsequent development of mold. In order to grow, mold requires both a food source (i.e. fabric, carpet, drywall, and wood, among others) and moisture. A Homeowner can and should minimize moisture within the home in order to reduce or minimize mold growth. There are many possible sources of moisture within a home including, but not limited to, humidity, condensation, leaks, spills and overflows. Some or all of these sources of moisture can be minimized through good maintenance and housekeeping practices. It is important to note that if the source of moisture is not minimized within 24-48 hours, that it can prove to be the basis upon which mold may develop.
