What to look for when hiring a mold inspector in Texas
- TDLR licensing. Texas requires mold assessors to hold a Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC) license through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Ask for the license number and verify it.
- Independent lab analysis. Samples should go to an accredited third-party laboratory, not be analyzed in-house.
- A written report. You should receive documented findings, not just a verbal opinion — especially important for real estate transactions and insurance purposes.
- Clear scope. Know upfront whether you’re getting a visual inspection only, or visual plus sampling, and what triggers a recommendation for sampling.
