How to Use the Qualified Inspectors List

Use the Qualified Inspector List to find an inspector. Each inspector on the list has met all the requirements in the drug lab cleanup rule to be a qualified inspector. Listing a qualified inspector on this web site certifies that qualified inspector meets the requirements for qualified inspectors in 318 IAC 1.

IDEM does not endorse any specific company or inspector. Also, IDEM does not regulate or control fees for cleanup and inspection services. We recommend that you get estimates from more than one inspector before signing a contract. Pay attention to the geographic area each inspector operates in, and the services each inspector provides.
