Question - Black Mold Inspection?

Hello all, I am fairly new to investing in residential real estate. I remember hearing alot of bad things about black mold (and other types of mold) a few years back. This includes properties being uninhabitable due to mold issues. I understand that the mold problems usually arise from either 1) water leaks that go unfixed for a long time, and 2) use of substandard materials.

Regardless of how mold problems occur, I am wanting to know "How can I avoid owning a property with this type of problem?". Is there an inspection available for potential mold problems? Is there any way to protect against buying a house with mold problems?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob
