Mold Inspections: Why InterNACHI® Certification Makes All the Difference

When you suspect mold in your home, you need answers you can trust—not a sales pitch for expensive remediation services. Hiring an InterNACHI® certified home inspector gives you unbiased expertise that protects your health and your wallet from unnecessary expenses.

Many water damage and restoration companies make their profits from the remediation work they sell after "finding" problems. This creates an obvious conflict of interest where contractors have financial incentives to discover issues that require their expensive services. InterNACHI® certified inspectors don't perform mold remediation, so their assessment focuses solely on providing you with honest, objective information about your home's condition.

InterNACHI® certification requires extensive training in building science, moisture dynamics, and proper inspection protocols that many home repair contractors lack. This comprehensive education helps certified inspectors identify the underlying moisture sources that cause mold problems, not just the visible symptoms. Understanding why mold is growing is crucial for preventing future problems after remediation.

Certified home inspectors bring valuable perspective to mold investigations because they understand how building systems interact. They can identify roof leaks, plumbing issues, ventilation problems, and other moisture sources that contractors might miss. This systems-based approach often reveals multiple contributing factors that need attention.

InterNACHI® certified inspectors follow established protocols for mold assessment that ensure thorough, professional evaluations. Their training includes proper sampling techniques, understanding when testing is necessary versus when visual assessment is sufficient, and interpreting results accurately.

When water problems, moisture intrusion, and mold growth threatens your family's health, you need expertise you can trust. An InterNACHI® certified inspector provides the unbiased assessment and comprehensive building knowledge necessary to make informed decisions about your home's safety.
