The US (federal) government has “mold remediation specifications” that require the use of mold assessors that hold at least one of certain certifications for federal mold assessment / inspections.http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/DOD/UFGS/UFGS%2002%2085%2000.00%2020.pdf

·        Florida law requires mold assessors pass the CIE or CIEC or CMC exam to be licensed. http://acac.org/certify/FL.aspx 
 ·        Most Florida mold assessors were “grandfathered” into their mold license and are not a CIH or CIE or CIEC or CMC.  
·        About a dozen licensed Mold Assessors in the Ft Myers and North Ft Myers  area have passed one of the required exams; over 200  did NOT pass an ACAC exam and are licensed.  
.
Ft Myers and North Fort Myers homeowners and businesses should require the mold assessor they hire to at least meet the federal government’s minimum requirement for a mold assessor.

         Considering Bioaerosol Sampling

http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/chapter7/lesson2.html

 

"remember that a negative sampling report must not be used in place of a visual survey. Factors such as barometric pressure, inside and outside temperatures, activity levels, and humidity may dramatically reduce or increase the spore levels within a building. Air sampling for mold provides information on what was in the air only for the moment when the sampling occurred. It is important, therefore, that sampling not replace visual inspection."

Can your Ft Myers inspector interpret your lab results?

http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/chapter3/lesson3.html

 

"Sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals who have specific experience in designing mold sampling protocols, sampling methods, and interpreting the results."   EPA

"Experience in interpretation of results is essential.”   EPA

One very important aspect of the Mold / Home Inspector law the consumer should understand is that Mold Inspections and Home Inspections are two different professions, with separate licenses and regulations.

State of Florida Licensed Ft Myers Mold Assessors / inspectors  that are Certified Indoor Environmentalists (CIE) have proven they are experienced and have passed an exam required by Florida to be a licensed Mold Assessor. Less than a dozen of the 200 mold assessors in the Ft Myers area have done so; hundreds were “grandfathered” in 2010 with little or no experience.
