The California Department of Public Health lists NORMI™ as a resource for hiring Experienced Mold Professionals. (Assessors and Remediators)
- How do I find someone to inspect my home and locate the source of the mold or moisture problem?
An experienced mold and moisture inspector is trained to identify the source of the mold or moisture problems, generally without measuring mold levels. There are no California regulations for mold inspectors. We cannot recommend any company in particular. Mold consultants can be found through professional associations such as the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) and American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA). Mold inspectors may also be found through the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI) and the National Association of Mold Remediators and Inspectors (NAMRI). These organizations are listed here strictly for informational purposes and listing them does not imply CDPH endorsement. - How do I identify a licensed contractor or experienced professional who can fix the mold and moisture problems in my home?
Some licensed contractors have expertise in dealing with mold and moisture problems. There are no California regulations for licensing mold remediators. Mold remediators can be certified by national organizations such as the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI), National Association of Mold Remediators and Inspectors (NAMRI), and Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration (IICRC). These organizations are listed here strictly for informational purposes and listing them does not imply CDPH endorsement. The California State Licensing Board (CSLB) has information on currently licensed contractors in the state.
