Do you need a mold inspector license in West Virginia?
West Virginia does not license or register mold inspectors. West Virginia is mixed-humid in its valleys (IECC 4A) and cooler-humid in the Allegheny highlands (5A), so valley problems are summer humidity, AC condensation, and crawlspace moisture, while the mountains add winter cold-surface condensation. The West Virginia Department of Health publishes mold guidance but issues no mold credential. West Virginia inspectors typically hold a voluntary IICRC or ACAC certification.
Is a license required?
West Virginia does not license mold inspectors or assessors at the state level. Inspectors typically hold a voluntary certification (such as IICRC or ACAC) rather than a state license.
