Is sampling required with every inspection?
It depends what the objective is. If the objective is simply to locate mold and identify its source, the answer is no. Once the source of mold is identified, air sampling does not provide additional meaningful information. Conversely, if the objective is to determine the types and/or amounts of mold present, the answer is yes. Air sampling provides a wealth of information and is the only reliable way to get a “snapshot” of the indoor air quality at the time the testing occurred.
