No doubt about it, there's a lot of misinformation out there about the serious issue of mold contamination. Valid concerns about long-term exposure to toxic mold growth have been hijacked by some less-than-scrupulous scammers more interested in a fast buck than the well-being of your family.
It doesn't have to be that way. Ethical mold remediation specialists are established professionals in a field based on proven research — not hard-sell hyperbole and scare tactics. You can have the peace of mind you're looking for by getting an objective evaluation from a certified specialist, and if needed, a mold remediation procedure that conforms to recognized industry criteria.
Legitimate mold technicians typically hold certification from an objective industry organization like the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) which researches and publishes professional standards and practices for water damage and mold remediation. Scammers typically don't.
Here are additional guidelines to keep you safe from scam artists if you suspect you may have a mold contamination issue:
- First and foremost: any physical symptoms you or your family may be experiencing should be brought to the attention of a physician — not a mold specialist. Symptoms associated with mold contamination are often vague and may result from any number of causes unrelated to mold.
- Not everything that looks like fungal growth is mold and not all types of mold pose a toxic threat.
- A formal testing protocol is the only way to verify the presence and type of mold contamination. Any competent mold remediation specialist will take air samples to quantify the spore count and extent of contamination, then sample active growing mold to identify the specific type. You should receive a written copy of the results.
- Features of a mold treatment plan by a qualified professional include physical removal of growing mold, application of EPA-approved fungicides, and vacuuming premises with HEPA filtration to remove residual spores, as well as one or more follow-up visits to sample the air and confirm the effectiveness of the treatment.
