Mold Inspection

What to look for when selecting an ethical Mold Inspection Company:

  1. You should choose only those companies who incorporate the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and the NC Home Inspectors License Board (NCHILB).

  2. Look for a company that will tell you how many home inspections they have completed. Also ask them how many home inspections the inspector coming to your home has completed.

  3. Look for an inspector with a low numbered license. There are over 2800 inspectors in NC. Some inspectors with high license numbers have been in the business less than 3 years. An experienced inspector should be a high priority.

  4. Make sure to be present during the inspection, even though a written report will be given to you. Witnessing the issues first hand will make a world of difference.

  5. Make sure your inspector has knowledge about the different parts of the house they will be inspecting. They should be knowledgeable about the roof, crawl space, heat and AC systems, as well as plumbing and electrical. Look for an inspector who has continuing education in critical structural and mechanical problematic areas of the house.

  6. Look for a company that can educate you on the condition of the home.

It is our opinion that experience in the field is of vital importance in this industry. In order for a person to be properly qualified in this field, we feel a minimum of 1,000 home inspections is necessary. Many people take the home inspection process for granted during the purchase of their property and this is a big mistake. A qualified inspector can protect the buyer from potential disasters down the road and can also save thousands of dollars by diagnosing problems early.

Questions to ask when selecting a company in this industry:

  1. How long have you been inspecting homes in the area?

  2. How many home inspections have you completed?

  3. What is your NC State License number? Are you a member of ASHI?

  4. Are you familiar with electrical and plumbing issues, as well as roofing and heating systems?

  5. How soon do you provide a written inspection report?

  6. How is cost calculated? How do you take payment?

What to avoid when selecting a business in this industry:

  1. Avoid an inspector that does not have a valid license to inspect homes.

  2. Avoid inspectors that must see your home before quoting you an inspection price? They should have pre-set pricing based on size of your home and time taken. The cheapest price is not always the best price.

  3. Avoid inspectors that do not have knowledge of your type of home. Some inspectors are only familiar with new homes.

  4. Avoid inspectors that do not have continuing education in the building and inspector field.

  5. Avoid inspectors who are not certified NC inspectors. Some inspectors are only apprentices in the field. Their experience level may be limited.

  6. Avoid inspectors who do not have practical experience. Some newer inspectors have only taken inspection courses and have very little practical experience.

Why Comprehensive Home Inspection was offered the opportunity to be a Business A-List participant?

After visiting with Dave Wiesing, owner of Comprehensive Home Inspections, it is very easy to determine why they were selected. Mr. Wiesing has personally investigated over 10,000 homes in the Triangle and treats every inspection as important as a physician diagnosing a patient.

Dave Wiesing holds license #52 and is certified by NC Home Inspectors Licensing Board. He is a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors. He is a certified mold and indoor air quality investigator. He is a Licensed General Contractor and has been a home inspector for over 23 years.

Comprehensive Home Inspections encourages you to follow along with them so you may become educated in the process. The inspector then spends the time to create an individual diagnosis of the property. This company does not hand write a report at the home inspection site. They feel it is more important to use a tape recorder during the inspection process, making notes about structural and mechanical defects, and then allow a sufficient time to reflect on those conditions and write up a true and accurate report for your house.

Yes, it takes a little more time and thought to do a thorough home inspection, but why would you not want that? Your report will be emailed to you the same day.

Remember, the realtor and the seller want to close the deal TODAY, the home inspector is the one protecting the buyer. Shouldn't it be done by a thorough, experienced and professional inspector?

Why have so many families chosen Comprehensive Home Inspection Services? Because they provide information you need to make an informed decision about the property. Their report is presented in a clear, concise, professional manner with your best interest in mind.
