Conducting a mold inspection is one of the most important aspects relating to the purchase of a home. Potential buyers will be counting on a good report and the way to provide a thorough mold inspection form report is with a comprehensive software program that covers every aspect of the inspection from visual findings to the interpretation of specific readings.
Some of the areas that should be covered in a mold inspection form report are not limited to, but include the following:
1. First of all – does a mold problem exist, or what evidence is there that the mold may be a problem in a specific area or throughout the home?
2. If there is an originating area, how can that source be contained and ultimately cleaned so that there is no mold problem?
3. Are there specific repairs that need to be undertaken in order to eradicate the mold and prevent future recurrences?
4. Is the mold cosmetic (only on the surface) or does it pose a potential health hazard to current and future occupants?
In addition, a mold inspection form report should be of use to the people who have commissioned it. In other words, they are paying a fair amount of money to have this report prepared, so it should provide accurate information, diagnose the specific problems and then present a list of items that need to be remedied in order to correct the problem.
The mold inspection form report needs to provide a detailed remediation plan, that is, how the mold should be removed, with what kind of equipment should be used, and how the materials need to be disposed of in a safe manner.
In addition, a report should provide more to the clients than just some figures. Many mold inspection form reports are quite literally useless to the end user, because they are simply providing the results of some lab testing, with no supporting interpretation or explanation to make them useful.
The inspector needs a full software suite that can provide these specific answers to their clients. If the inspector has never conducted a mold inspection before, they will require a program that is suitable for the novice inspector, a program that is intuitive and guides them along with each step of report preparation. A good software suite to conduct this style of report should have everything included in it, such as a report writer, report emailing capabilities and summaries of conclusions.
Mold inspection software should guide the inspector through the process, with drop down and fill in style reports, so that the report can be created as the inspection is taking place. The software should also be able to customize any report with findings, conclusions and recommendations.
One of the most important aspects of this type of report software is liability. The software that you choose should have a built in disclaimer which will fully explain your limitations of liability to all of your customers and protect you from potential exposure to lawsuits.
