Specific to Buffalo

Home inspectors in Buffalo, NY face a regulatory boundary under NYS Article 32: home inspectors are licensed under NYS Department of State (DOS), while mold assessors are licensed separately under NYS Department of Labor (DOL). A home inspector cannot perform mold sampling, lab-analyzed mold assessment, or write a formal mold assessment report. That work belongs to a NYS DOL-licensed Mold Assessor. Our home inspector partner program closes that gap. The standard workflow: home inspector identifies suspected mold or moisture-source conditions during the inspection; refers the client to us; we schedule within 48 hours under partner SLA; perform sampling + lab analysis + written assessment; deliver report directly to the client with the inspector copied; client invoiced at standard rate (no commission cuts to inspector). Inspector keeps the client relationship and the broader inspection report. Assessment is appended. For inspectors who prefer to deliver an integrated report, we offer co-branded reporting where the inspector's firm logo and contact appear on a cover page while the underlying environmental assessment remains attributed to us as the licensed assessor. This works under Article 32 because the licensed work is clearly attributed to the licensed party.

Common questions

About this service

How does the referral work without commission cuts?

The client pays us directly for the mold assessment at standard rates. The inspector pays us nothing. The inspector doesn't owe us anything. The inspector wins by keeping the client relationship while delivering the licensed mold-assessment scope the client needs. Our incentive is the assessment work itself + repeat referrals from the inspector.

Can I include EAS findings in my home inspection report?

Yes via co-branded reporting or via summary reference. Two paths: (1) Co-branded report. Your firm's cover + contact, our assessment as appendix with clear attribution; (2) Summary reference. Your inspection report cites our assessment report by date and reference number. Both satisfy Article 32 attribution.

Do you give my inspection firm priority over walk-in clients?

Yes for partner-flagged jobs. Partner SLA is 48-hour scheduling vs. standard 48-72 hour scheduling for walk-ins. Time-critical real estate closings get same-week complete turnaround.
