There is three kinds of mold removal companies and they are as follows….

1. Companies that do mold testing

2. Companies that do mold removal

3. Crooks that try to do both

Industrial hygienist or indoor environmental professionals are the two most common kinds of qualified mold testers that are recommended. Industrial hygienist and I.E.P.s are the only ones qualified really to do proper inspections and air testing. Make sure to find one that is reputable and does air testing. Once you find that they are qualified and do air testing you need to ask them a very important  two part question. Do you also perform mold removal and if not can you refer someone who does? If they answer yes to either of those parts it is best to move on. You will need a pretest and inspection to determine if you actually have mold and to what extent. The proper testers will not only determine if you have mold but also to what extent. They will provide you a protocol list and recommend calling a qualified mold removal company if  they determine that you have a severe enough problem. A pretest is critical in determining how successful your removal is and also used to compare to post remediation results. An air test will will provide a sample of air from the affected area to be used in comparison to the air outside your place. If the mold count is higher inside then you have a mold problem.

The experts will help you determine your best course of action and prevent any guess work from the removal people. Eliminating the guessing of the people who want to charge to remove the mold is paramount to keeping your cost of work and scope of work exactly nowhere it needs to be. Once all of this is done you can proceed to the removal process. When the removal people feel that they have done their job correctly you will need a post test done to compare your current mold count to the pretest.  The tester will ultimately be the one that gives a guarantee that your home or business is mold free. A guarantee from a removal company is absolutely worthless most of the time.

Mold removal companies need to be certified in applied microbial remediation to ensure competency and proper removal. A good mold removal company will want you to have a pretest and a protocol list from a qualified tester before any work is performed. A proper mold removal company will use the proper techniques and drying equipment to ensure that your project is done safely. The most important thing in mold removal work is to do it safely so make sure your removal company has a good track record of success.

Mold removal can mean big bucks, so the crooks come out of the woodwork when given opportunity. If a company states that it can do both mold testing and removal it should probably be avoided. Not saying all such companies are bad but the majority do not have your best interests in mind. Think about it for a moment. Did you grade your own work in school? Do you give yourself reviews and raises at work? The first thing they teach you when you get certified in applied microbial remediation is that you should not do both testing and removal. It is a conflict of interest and unethical per the guidelines of the IICRC and the industry as a whole.
