Mold is more than just a stain on the wall—it can signal serious issues for a home’s indoor air quality. This casual and straightforward webinar with Thomas Bartholetti is aimed at home inspectors who want to sharpen their skills and better serve their clients. We’ll cover everything from the basics of IAQ and mold history to where mold hides, how to test for it, and how to explain those reports. You’ll also learn about the health effects of mold and how to confidently talk with clients about its potential risks. By the end, you’ll be better prepared to spot mold-related problems, understand what they mean, and add even more value to your inspections.

In this presentation, we will review a home inspection (not a code inspection), demonstrate why code inspectors and contractors should network with local home inspectors, and show how the home inspection industry influences $32 billion in home improvements yearly. We will also learn how home inspectors help homeowners maintain their homes and keep them functioning, safe, and healthy.
