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. Here's how we keep them accurate.

Who writes and reviews

Content is written or reviewed by the Nampa Mold Experts inspection team, the same people who do the inspections. Each page shows who reviewed it and when it was last updated.

Sources we 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
• Our own field experience in Nampa and Canyon County homes

What we won't do

• Overstate what mold test results establish, or imply that every home needs testing
• Make medical claims or diagnose health conditions; health questions belong with a physician
• Give legal advice; legal information is general and points to official sources
• Publish reviews, credentials or statistics we can't verify
• Recommend products or contractors we're paid to promote (we aren't paid by any)

Updates and corrections

We review guides at least once a year and whenever guidance, law or local conditions change. Seasonal pages are reviewed before irrigation season and before winter. If you spot an error, call or text (208) 555-0147 and we'll review it promptly and note significant corrections on the page.
