7 Important Questions to Ask a Mold Consulting
Company
BEFORE Hiring.
1. Do you perform mold remediation or removal? Do you
profit from referrals to mold remediation companies?
We don’t! Remediation can be a very expensive process. In our
opinion, it is a conflict of interest to perform mold inspections
and sampling services AND to profit from remediation! We have
NOTHING to gain by finding a mold problem.
2. Are you certified?
We are! [Professional Certifications] Actually, we have several
separate certifications:
Certification
CRMI - Council Certified Residential Mold Inspector
CMI - Council Certified Microbial Investigator
Granting Authority
AmIAQ - American Indoor Air Quality Council
Certification
Mold Investigation and Sampling
Granting Authority
IAMM - International Association of Mold Management
3. Is the lab you use in compliance with the ISO 17025
Standard for performing the microscopic analysis of fungi?
Ours is! We send all of our microbial samples to Environmental
Microbiology Labs.
4. Is the lab you use certified by the American Industrial
Hygiene Association (AIHA)?
Ours is! Environmental Microbiology Labs is one of only a
handful of labs in the entire state of California that have
endured and passed the rigorous, lengthy, and expensive
process of becoming AIHA certified for fungal analysis.
5. Do you offer packaged deals for inspections and a certain
number of “free” samples?
We don’t! It is impossible to gain enough data on a property
over the phone to tell a client how many (if any)
laboratory samples they will need to gain an understanding
of their property vis-à-vis microbial contamination.
6. Are you insured?
We carry $1 Million of general liability and E & O insurance.
7. Are you a member of the Better Business Bureau?
We are! The Better Business Bureau believes that a business
community committed to ethical business practices,
coupled with an educated and informed public, is the
key to fairness and honesty in the marketplace.
