A woman took to TikTok to share aharrowing experience in which her dreamhome became a nightmare.On May 14, Jade Hooper, a mother of three,told her followers how she thought she hadbought her dream home in 2016.“It was on 5 acres, pool, five-bedroom,three-bathroom, it was amazing”.Two weeks after purchasing the home, however,she learned that the basement flooded and wouldsoon become a breeding ground for toxic mold.“We went on a two-year lawsuit andspent about $50,000 between the lawsuit,the lawyer and the repairs, and we lost”.To prevent others from going through the same episode, Hooper shared one bit of important advice: get an air quality test before buying a home.“Machine sucks up air, and they go and test itand if there’s any sort of black mold, penicilliummold, the toxic molds, that means that somewherebehind the wall, under the ground, somewhere,it’s there.
And if it is, don’t buy it”.Hooper’s video has since received nearly400,000 views and more than 600 comments.“This is exactly why I love [TikTok], y’all teach meso much and it’s appreciated,” one person wrote.“Great advice,” another posted in response.“Don’t skip regular inspections either!
If somethingnegative does come back you can ask for acredit towards your purchase”
