Certified Mold Inspectors (CMIs)
Certified Mold Inspectors perform mold testing using mold testing protocols set by laboratory Industrial Hygienists.
What is a CMI? A Certified Mold Inspector (CMI) is usually a home inspector, who performs a modified home inspection to find sources of moisture and recommends mold tests to take. Beware of any who basically do mold testing only.

Industrial Hygienists
Industrial Hygienists are microbiologists.Certified Mold Inspectors work with them as a team.
Additional Capabilities. Unlike a CMI, Industrial Hygienists are capable of specifying a mold cleanup protocol for a mold remediator to follow.
However, Certified Mold Remediators are quite capable of specifying their own scope of work based on the results of a mold assessment.
When Services are Requested. Home InSight requests their services when it is difficult to clear a property (very rare) or a specific species of mold needs to be identified.
