Marco Island mold remediators
must licensed by the state of Florida. Remediators cannot do the inspection and then cleanup the mold problem
on the same job within 12 months. An independent inspector is required by Florida law to protect the consumer.
Many feel cleanup companies always find something to cleanup. You do not determine a home has a mold problem based solely
on air sampling. Air sampling is often used to determine the need for further investigation or the extent of a mold
problem. Home Inspectors or mold remediators must also be licensed mold assessors
if they are: “Advertising or representing oneself to be a Mold Assessor.” OR are “Taking
samples for purposes of testing for the presence of mold.”
(d) Perform or offer to perform any mold remediation to a structure on which the mold assessor or the
mold assessor’s company provided a mold assessment within the last 12 months.

Licensed Mold Remediator… MRSR181
Your Marco Island Mold Remediator usually
has to operate “air scrubbers” when cleaning up a mold problem.During mold
removal, while hepa vacuuming and damp wiping and demolition of affected material these scrubbers remove air borne particles
including mold spores. These air scrubbers should be turned off and capped for 24 hours before any air
sampling is performed as part of clearance inspection.Often we see inexperienced Mold Remediators
turn off the air scrubbers and not cap the opening causing mold spores to be introduced back into the cleaned area. In this
type of situation the area cleaned must be hepa vacuumed and damp wiped again; adding time and expense to the mold remediation
project.

Marco Island Florida Licensed Mold Assessors
will require air scrubbers to be turned off 24 hours prior to performing air sampling for clearance of mold cleanup.
"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."
"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.
Mold remediation on Marco Island or Naples is
done step by step. Preliminary mold inspection by independent licensed Marco Island mold assessor then cleanup
by licensed mold remediator; must be different company, Florida law.
