NJ Mold Inspections Must Be Thorough!

Recently a local NJ homeowner and NJ home inspector were involved in a confrontation over NOT thoroughly identifying mold. Although the inspection agreement did, in fact, exclude ‘mold inspection,’ the inspector mentioned visible mold on his final inspection report.  Thorough mold inspections in NJ call for further investigation.

It is commonplace for a home inspector to require an agreement and fees for certain add-on inspection types (i.e. mold, lead paint, or indoor air quality.)  In this case, because invisible mold was later found to be present in the home, the client filed a claim against the inspector. An inspector’s insurance most likely does not cover claims regarding mold because it is considered a specialty area of coverage. It needs to be added to a standard Home Inspector policy, and it is likely that a mold certification is going to be required in order for this coverage to be added. The situation is one of many unusual mold issues facing the average NJ Home Inspector.
