Unbiased Inspection
Bias and home inspection simply don’t mix
The Who
Examining your home or workplace for mold growth is an important step toward optimal health and minimizing external toxin exposure for your family/coworkers. But choosing your inspector is just as important.
We urge you to critically examine your potential home inspectors. The importance of a certified third-party mold inspector — one who does not have a vested interest in remediation — cannot be overemphasized. With the right inspector, you can sit back and relax knowing your home is in unbiased hands.
The What
Prevention of conflicts of interest
A certified third party mold inspector, one who is not affiliated with a remediation company, is able to provide an unbiased assessment of the mold problem in a way others cannot. Third parties have no financial incentive that can lead to exaggeration of the severity of mold damage, nor are they likely to recommend unnecessary remediation services. Working with an independent third party ensures that you receive an honest and accurate evaluation of the mold situation in your home.
Compliance with Industry Standards
Many industry organizations, such as the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) and the American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC), actually recommend hiring independent third party inspectors for mold assessments. This practice aligns with industry best practices and helps maintain integrity and credibility within the mold inspection and remediation industry.
Peace of Mind
Knowing that your mold inspection is conducted by an independent third party can provide confidence that the inspection report is impartial and trustworthy. This will allow you to make informed decisions about remediation and ensuring that your home is safe and healthy for you and your family.
The Why
Overall, hiring a certified third party mold inspector who has no financial stake in remediation is essential for obtaining an unbiased assessment of the mold situation in your home. It allows you to make informed decisions about remediation based on accurate information, and ensures that your health and well-being are being prioritized.
