7 Important Questions to Ask a Mold Inspection Company BEFORE Hiring.

1. Do you perform mold remediation or removal? Do you profit from referrals to mold remediation companies?

We don’t! Mold Remediation can be a very expensive process. In our opinion, it is a conflict of interest to profit from remediation! We have NOTHING to gain by finding a mold problem in your home.

2. Are you licensed to perform Mold Inspections and Testing?

We are! Click on this link to see our [Professional Certifications].

3. Do you have Errors and Omissions Insurance?

We carry $1,000,000 of E & O Insurance and $1,000,000 of General Liability Insurance. General Liability Insurance, which is all that is required by Texas, will not cover you if an inspector makes a mistake or blatantly misses a serious mold infestation in your home. Errors and Omissions insurance is expensive and difficult to obtain. Do not hire anyone to do a mold inspection or mold remediation if they do not have the right insurance. E&O Insurance is your ONLY protection.

4. Are you a member of the Better Business Bureau?

We are! The BBB believes that a business community committed to ethical business practices, coupled with an educated and informed public, is the key to a fair and honest marketplace.

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 about 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 regarding microbial contamination.

6. 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 EmLab P&K Microbiology Labs.

7. Is the lab you use certified by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)?

Ours is! EmLab P&K Microbiology Labs is one of only a handful of labs in the state of California and one of only 12 labs in the entire state of Texas that have endured and passed the rigorous, lengthy, and expensive process of becoming AIHA certified for fungal analysis.
