Mold
InspectorsThere are two type of mold inspectors: Certified Mold
Inspectors and Industrial Hygienists. One or both types may
perform inspection services at a property. Certified Mold Inspectors
(CMIs)Certified Mold Inspectors perform mold
testing using mold
testing
protocols set by laboratory Industrial Hygienists.
What is a CMI? A Certified Mold
Inspector (CMI) is usually a home inspector, who performs a modified
home
inspection to find sources of moisture and recommends mold tests to
take. Beware of any who basically do mold testing
only.
