ASHI-NAHI-NACHI - Mold Testing Survey

[Mike Lamb]

I recently initiated surveys on this forum and the The Inspectors Journal forum asking whether home inspectors usually test for mold as was intimated in a recent Chicago Tribune article. This is not a debate on the merits of mold testing. It's just a poll on whether home inspectors usually test for mold or not.

Please fill out the survey in the Polls and Surveys forum. It is anonymous.

I don't belong to ASHI, NAHI or NACHI, but those of you who do, could you please post this poll on your discussion forum. I think the results are important to our profession. These are the survey questions.

1. I usually test for mold.
2. I sometimes test for mold.
3. I never test for mold.
4. I never test for mold and I do not recommend testing.

I never test but recommend testing be done by qualified mold specialist.
