What questions should I ask a mold inspector?

When hiring a mold inspector, ask about their certification, training, and experience with residential or commercial inspections. Confirm what inspection methods they use, such as air sampling, surface testing, or moisture mapping. Request details about the equipment used, including infrared cameras or humidity meters. Ask how samples are analyzed and whether results are verified by an accredited laboratory. Clarify if the inspector provides a written report with findings and recommendations. It is also important to ask if they perform remediation, as using separate companies for inspection and cleanup prevents conflicts of interest and ensures an unbiased evaluation.
