Mold Remediation – Mold Removal in Boise Idaho
Mold Assessment: If you believe you have a mold “problem”. Testing may or may not a part of an assessment . The EPA writes “[i]n most cases, if visible mold growth is present, sampling is unnecessary”. The first step to solving a mold concern is to understand why there is visible mold growth and that means identifying and correcting the source of uncontrolled water.
Only after the water source has been fixed should a decision be made about how to approach the remediating the mold and whether testing is advisable. The current standard of care is that if the company providing any testing is the same company providing mold remediation services, a conflict of interest exists.
The Standard of Care
No state or federal regulations establishing the safe limits of mold exposure nor regulating the assessment of mold problems in buildings exist or is there any standard defining “successful” mold project. There is, however, a Standard of Care for Professional Mold Remediation to guide the remediator with best practices.
That standard is called the IICRC S-520 and describes what a reasonably competent mold remediation contractor shall, should, may or can do to remediate mold as well as additional recommended practices suggested to complete a mold remediation.
