These articles do not answer the question as to whether Tennessee law requires a mold inspector be licensed by the State to perform mold inspections. If you cannot answer this question plese let me know who can. Thankyou.

Hello Customer (name blocked for privacy),

I will opt out of this question so that some other expert can give their input.

How do I get an opinion from another "expert"?

Mold is not considered a "structural" component when it comes to home inspectors. In fact, most home inspectors will not comment about any environmental factors, such as mold. Home inspectors are licensed individuals. While I have found no TN law stating mold inspectors need to be licensed, I, personally would trust a "certified" mold inspector over someone who has no credentials at all. There are a number of colleges that have classes in mold inspection, in which you can walk away "certified".

For more information regarding environmental laws, you can contact an attorney in one of the cities listed HERE, oryou can try contacting:
