Default Moving to Orlando Florida.

I have been a state licensed inspector in Nevada for the last four years. I am moving to Orlando. In Nevada we get 1.25 inches of rain per year. I know moisture is a big issue in Florida. What tools and training do I need to do proper inspections in Florida? Should I get some sort of Mold certification?? If so how?

Thanks!!

It appears that the Floridians (your competitors) are in silent mode....

From what I seen on TV, a boat and Bin-Aqua-Lars Water Binoculars. The review reads they really work.

Best tools in Orlando would be a Northerner Swatter (some use them for Fly's also), patience for the traffic, Rolaids for the upset stomach you'll get from the lowballer competition, and good insurance for driving on I-4.

Before you spend a lot on mold training, you might want to read this. There is a question as to whether it will go into effect as scheduled but at some point it will.

Don't worry too much about being a mold assessor, the home inspector licensing bill that was signed into law had a 10 square foot clause built in for home inspectors.

Many things revolve around the licensing. I have a moister meter(surface only) and thermal camera in my truck at all time. Must inspections are straight forward. I could live on insurance inspection work alone. I am on the East Coast if there is anything else I can help you with.
