Inspectors who also remediate mold.

In an ideal world, no one would lie, and there would be no concern about whether or not your mold professional was lying to you. However, there are numerous accounts of mold inspectors telling property owners that there is mold, just so they can also get the owner to pay for remediation, even is none is needed. Some companies may even employ an inspector on the side, who will recommend their remediation company, and then overcharge the individual for the removal. Whichever company you decide to go with, always have an independent third party examine the findings and your property, not just the company’s onsite inspector.

Avoid It: Anytime you see a company offering a free inspection for mold, be wary. Free inspections are far more likely to find mold than paid inspections—simply because the company needs to get their money’s worth out of this interaction. They will “find” mold that you will then pay them to remove. To avoid falling for this scam, you can use the free inspection, but then also have a third party, a professional inspector, inspect the house again and check the findings of the other inspector. This is the best way to ensure that your inspection is honest and comprehensive
