Moisture Control Consulting

The Council-certified Moisture Control Investigator (CMCI) and the Council-certified Moisture Control Consultant (CMCC) conduct moisture investigations and assessments in all types of buildings.  They apply knowledge of building sciences, moisture behavior and structural drying to locate the source, identify the cause, or specify the mitigation of moisture problems involving the design, construction and/or maintenance of the built environment. 

A CMCI or CMCC possesses verified knowledge of the moisture control field. The CMCC and CMCI certification exams cover the most respected reference texts in the industry. Candidates must know the important industry standards. They must be familiar with scientific principles governing moisture control in the design, construction and maintenance phases of a building's life. They must understand the most common practices and protocols used by investigators and contractors, as they are often involved in specifying remediation, mitigation and repair work.

A CMCI or CMCC possesses verified experience in moisture control investigation and consulting in settings like these:

  • Offices and commercial buildings

  • Industrial structures

  • Government facilities

  • Schools and public buildings

  • Healthcare facilities

  • Residential structures

To earn the Council-certified Moisture Control Investigator (CMCI) or Council-certified Moisture Control Consultant (CMCC) designations, candidates must:

  • Demonstrate verifiable field experience in moisture control investigation

  • Pass a rigorous examination based on broad industry knowledge rather than a course curriculum

  • Earn the unanimous approval of the CMCC certification board

  • Re-certify every two years

  • Participate in 20 hours of professional development activities each year

  • Maintain the highest ethical standards

The CMCC and CMCI certifications are accredited by the Council for Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB), a nationally recognized independent accreditation body. ACAC certifications are the ONLY designations in the indoor air quality field to earn CESB accreditation.
