I do moisture testing for fungal growths(smile) I did not say the M word my home inspection has slowed and the air sampling for mold spores has taken off. Download Attachment: Picture 013.jpg 147.03 KB I know there is some inspectors out there that have an issue with air sampling but that is ok some of us have to come out of the box(smile again)and I know some one will ask me this question "what are your certifications" and my answer is I have a degree in Immunology and Protein Chemistry.

As an inspector I do about 4 to 5 Air samples and several swab samples dailey. The sampling with lab reports company findings and moisture test goes for $275.00 for two samples, more depending on the Sqft of the home. for a total of $1,375 per day. I carry E&O and liability that covers my home inspections and my fungal testing also; I do several fungal inspections a week for insurance companies. I like doing the fungal inspections that is why I have spent my money and time on all the training. Now you are right if you have an inspector that does not know what he or she is doing or saying on the topic of fungal growths you could loose more than your pride! It seems like you are not in favor of the testing; some times the home inspector has to think outside the box.

Would some one give me a thumbs up or down on this, looks like a outside fixture mounted in the shower to me please Email me with an answerit is in the report I am putting togather in the AM... landmarkhome@bellsouth.net Download Attachment: MVC-004S.JPG 39.69 KB
