10 Important Questions to Ask a Mold Testing Company Before Hiring Them:

These questions correspond with the most common problems we have encountered throughout the years. This is valuable advice about selecting a mold testing company.
1. How do they conduct mold testing?
First, they shouldn't rely solely on testing—it is just part of the toolkit for locating mold problems. A comprehensive visual inspection should also be completed to look for both water damage and mold growth. If mold is suspected, the company should sample it to confirm its identity and type. Additionally, they should take interior air samples to see if mold spores of a different type or concentration exist inside the property compared to outside.
2. Does the inspector have any certifications? Do they complete continuing education?
Florida awards a state license for mold testing. There are also certifications that require continuing education and classes to remain up to date. Examples include Certified Mold Consultants (CMCs) and Certified Mold Inspectors (CMIs).
3. How many mold samples do they take?
Some companies take a single interior air sample and maybe one exterior sample. Then, they will provide a diagnosis based on these samples alone. This is simply not enough data to accurately indicate the presence of a mold problem. The proper number of required samples depends on the size of your home.
4. What qualifications does the laboratory have for analyzing samples?
Be sure to ask about a company's quality control program. It is possible they don't complete any quality control procedures.
5. What is the turnaround time between the inspection and the report?
You want the company to have enough time to write a good report—but not so long that necessary repairs are delayed. The inspector should be able to provide this information during the inspection, as well as updates on laboratory results. Depending on the scope of the job, a couple of days is a reasonable time to wait for a final written report.
6. Who actually writes the inspection report?
Some companies have a different person write the report than the person who completed the inspection. But how can someone write an accurate, detailed inspection report if they haven't inspected the property? How helpful would that report actually be?
7. What type of report do they provide?
There are companies that only provide laboratory data without context or next steps. However, you need to know if any repairs need to be made. Be sure to ask a company if they suggest specific repairs. At the very least, they should be able to explain precisely what their service offers.
8. Do they complete the required repairs?
Many believe it is a conflict of interest to conduct both testing and repairs. In fact, it is illegal to do so in Florida. Ask the company if they can recommend a repair company. If they have been in the mold industry for years, they should know who does a good repair job and who doesn't.
9. How long have they been in business?
Make sure the company demonstrates experience and longevity. You want them to still be around if you need support down the road.
10. Does the inspector have a Florida state license and insurance?
It is crucial to guarantee that any inspector coming to your property has the necessary licenses, certifications, and insurance.
