This is helpful info guys.
I am in the same boat as Ron.
When performing a mold inspection only, do any of you base your initial mold inspection on sq ft of the house like hi’s?
I have been charging $350 for a limited inspection (3 samples included)
$450 for a complete mold inspection (3 Samples included) and additional samples are $125.00 each. So far it has been working out O.K.
I base a mold inspection off the size of the house. If they want air testing, I give them a rough estimate off the size, how many levels and what parts of the house they are seeing the mold. Sometimes testing is not needed, instead a bulldozer.
When you base your visual mold inspection fee on size (insp only no air samples), would you say it is similar to your HI fees?
Yes, $10.00 per 100 square feet after the first 2,000 square feet. A three thousand square feet home would be an additional $100.00.
Can you recommend any resources or training that can help with interpreting lab results??
I can see that interpretation would be the toughest part of mold assessments. IMO
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
No, I learned it from my Industrial Hygienist. Feel free to email at jbraun@mo.nachi.org your lab reports and I will walk you through them. In the mean time, read any studies you can find that deals with health effects caused by mold.
Ill take you up on that offer!!
Thanks for all the help, greatly appreciated!!
Don’t forget that if you are following IAC2 SOP, you need to take **2 **outdoor samples.
