There are dozens of Cape Coral home inspectors. Cape Coral homebuyers should try to get the best qualified,
experienced ASHI or NACHI or FABI certified home inspector for their pre purchase inspection.
“Full service home inspectors” claim to do it all, radon, mold, termite, etc. As a Cape Coral homebuyer do you really want an inspector who provides these services as a side job? When the new Florida law goes into effect home inspectors and mold inspectors will
be licensed separately to protect the consumers (scheduled for 2010).
Radon testing, and mold inspections are not part of a Cape Coral home inspectors job description (standard of
practice) if they are members of ASHI or NACHI the two largest home inspector certifying / training organizations. Radon testing
is regulated by the FL DOH but home inspectors and mold inspectors are not yet. For
the price of an occupational license anyone can claim to be a mold inspector or home inspector.
Professional Cape Coral Home inspectors should hire a Florida Department of Health certified Radon Measurement
Business for radon testing. The best home inspectors hire AmIAQC board Certified
Indoor Environmentalists for their clients concerns about mold inspections and other indoor air quality issues such as allergen
testing.

Doug Wall, CIE and the EPA say your mold inspector must be experienced
in collecting mold samples and interpreting the lab analysis. You do not want a mold inspector that has someone else
interpret your lab analysis.
"Sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals who have specific
experience in designing mold sampling protocols, sampling methods, and interpreting the results." EPA
"Experience in interpretation of results is essential.”
