There are many companies representing themselves as mold remediators but few that have Mold Inspection and Remediation certification. Why is certification important? Because it insures that the person doing the inspection understands mold, mold remediation, and what proper indoor air quality is all about! When an inspector comes to your house are you asking to see their certification? You should.
Any person with a couple hours of experience can crawl under a home and make a claim that it needs remediation. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. Some deposits on floor joists can be as simple as camel cricket dung. However, some deposits may require extensive remediation and clearance testing. Only through competent and certified organizations can training be obtained to properly identify and prescribe proper remediation for your situation. At Carolinas Mold Removal our inspectors are Certified Mold Inspectors and Remediators (CMIR) through NAMP (National Association of Mold Professionals). We also are certified Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) through NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaning Association) so we know when and how your HVAC system should be cleaned.
Some signs of improper inspections are:
- They don’t go to where the problem is. (if under the house they crawl under and document the situation)
- They don’t identify where the source of the water problem lies. (You are wasting your money to remediate without fixing.)
- They use high pressure closing techniques to get a quick decision (usually because their price is high and they don’t want you to think about it)
