Why is Mold Compliance Testing Important?
Federal, NJ, and NY state laws require mold inspections and testing in certain situations, such as tenant complaints, real estate transactions, and workplace safety compliance.
Mold exposure can cause significant health risks, including respiratory issues, allergies, and infections. Compliance testing ensures indoor air and surfaces are free of hazardous mold levels.
Non-compliance with mold regulations can lead to fines, lawsuits, or loss of licensure. Testing ensures you remain in compliance and mitigate risks.
Compliance testing confirms that mold remediation was effective and that the property is safe for occupants, meeting all regulatory standards.
