Isn is important for a mold inspector to be present to accurately test for mold?
This perception is not accurate. Although mold inspectors do know how to perform invasive mold investigations, when you suspect the presence of mold (i.e. visual water stains or mold growth, a musty odor, or water damage) then there is no need for an inspector to be present. Mold inspections can be unnecessary and costly, ranging in price from $400-1500.
