Editorial Policy

The guides on this site are written to help Nampa-area homeowners, buyers, renters and landlords make good decisions about mold and moisture, including the decision not to test. This policy explains how they're kept accurate.

About the content

Nampa Mold Experts is a referral and information website. The guides are general information researched from the sources below. They describe what a thorough independent inspection typically involves; they don't describe the services of any particular contractor, and individual contractors' methods vary.

Sources the guides rely on

• Government guidance: U.S. EPA mold guidance, CDC, and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
• Standards: ASTM D7391 (spore trap analysis) and IICRC S520 (mold remediation)
• Idaho law: the Idaho Code, including the Property Condition Disclosure Act (§ 55-2501 and following) and § 6-320, plus Idaho Legal Aid resources
• Local data: NOAA climate normals, the National Weather Service Boise office, the Idaho Department of Water Resources, irrigation districts, and U.S. Census Bureau data

What the guides avoid

• Overstating what mold test results establish, or implying that every home needs testing
• Medical claims or diagnoses; health questions belong with a physician
• Legal advice; legal information is general and points to official sources
• Reviews, credentials or statistics that can't be verified
• Prices, guarantees or promises about any contractor's work

Corrections

Guides are reviewed when guidance, law or local conditions change. If you spot an error, call or text (208) 555-0147 so it can be reviewed and corrected.
