About The Class

Building Moisture Inspection (BMI) training is an IICRC-approved course to expose professionals to the information, resources, and techniques required for effective moisture inspection in a wide range of building scenarios.The 

​

BMI credential is based on understanding all that contributes to excess moisture in a building, such as where it was built, intended to be constructed, used as designed, occupancy type history, and construction material types. Building inspections play an imperative role in the identification of sources and causes of the moisture problems within a building, which, if left unchecked, would be significant health and safety concerns otherwise. Employing an in-depth inspection methodology, building moisture experts assist the building owners in controlling their buildings, providing a healthy and safe work environment to building users.

​

Students in BMI are instructed in a systematic inspection method that begins by creating a record of building history and past moisture problems that have arisen in an environment. Safety measures are the top concern while an assessment is ongoing to protect both the assessor and the building's occupants. Any potential areas of interest on the grounds are covered in a very detailed tour, wherever feasible. They are tasked with forming hypotheses from observation, testing to validate damp conditions, and finally crafting detailed reports outlining their observations and recommendations.

​

BMI certification not only serves as a useful means of diagnosing current moisture conditions but also as a preventive measure to avoid future instances - rendering this certification a worthwhile expense for building management and maintenance specialists.
