The government requires the best Mold Assessors, shouldn’t you?

July 2011
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.
  • American Board of Industrial Hygienist,  (CIH)
  • ACAC Certification:
  • Council-Certified Indoor Environmentalist,  (CIE)
  • Council-Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant,  (CIEC)
  • Council-Certified Mold Consultant,   (CMC)

·        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 Venice area have passed one of the required exams; over 200 did NOT pass an ACAC exam and are licensed. 
. 
Venice and North Port homeowners and businesses / consumers should require the mold assessor they hire to at least meet the federal government’s minimum requirement for a mold assessor.

For environmentalist concerns hire the Best (We are not home inspectors)

Charlie did affect Venice

A Venice mold inspection should identify the source of the mold problem, the extent of the mold problem detailed photos and documentation of the problem. A Certified Indoor Environmentalist is qualified to write the recommendations for corrections based on accepted industry standards for your Venice mold contamination. Venice mold remediators need a detailed mold report so they can properly bid on the job.  Venice mold inspector cannot perform the mold cleanup on the same job within 12 months, MUST be different independent company (Florida law).

Professional Venice mold inspectors should use infrared cameras and moisture meters to identify and locate water intrusions which promote mold growth in your home or business.

How can I prevent mold growth in your Venice home or business?
Water (moisture) is the key. Without it, mold growth cannot start, much less multiply and spread. The easiest way to prevent the mold from gaining a foothold is to control dampness. Keep your home or business clean and dry. If water stands for even 24 hours, common molds can take hold.Keeping humidity levels below 60% and venting moisture from showering and cooking to the outside are several ways to prevent the conditions that can lead to mold growth.  
Other ways include:
§ Clean and dry up spills within 24 hours
§ Dry out wet building materials and carpets within 24 hours
§ Use an air conditioner or a dehumidifier to reduce the indoor humidity levelsbelow 60%. If you have a central air conditioning system and need adehumidifier to reduce relative humidity below 60%, you should have the airconditioning system examined for problems
§ Do not carpet bathrooms or basements 
We recommend Venice homeowners keep their humidity levels below 55% if possible.
Note: While most experts suggest a relative humidity of less than 60%, below 50% is best for controlling both mold growth and dust mites.
Dust mites are microscopic animals related to spiders, ticks and other mites. Dust mites eat mold and dead human or animal skin scales (flakes) and leave allergenic proteins. Dust mites reduce allergen production at these lowerhumidity levels.
