🏡 What to Know Before a Home Mold Inspection:

1. Avoid free inspections – They often lead to unnecessary (and expensive) remediation offers.
   
   
2. Use a certified IEP – Look for an Indoor Environmental Professional, not just a general contractor.
   
   
3. Request ERMI or EMMA testing – Dust testing reveals more than air samples alone.
   
   
4. Test for mycotoxins – Not just mold spores; mycotoxins are what affect your health.
   
   
5. Get a detailed report – It should include spore counts, species, moisture readings, and photos.
   
   
6. Separate inspection from remediation – These should be done by different companies.
   
   
7. Ask for invasive testing – If there's suspected hidden mold, surface-level checks aren’t enough.
   
   
8. Document everything – Especially if you're renting—keep a record of all communication.
   
   
9. Watch for red flags – “It’s just mildew” or “We’ll spray with bleach and paint over it” are not acceptable responses.
   
   
10. Listen to your body – Symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or sleep issues could be mold-related.
