What is Mold Assessment?
Mold assessment is defined as an inspection or evaluation of a property to identify mold, conditions that encourage mold growth, or factors that could potentially lead to mold development.
Responsibilities of a Licensed Mold Assessor:
- Prepare a Mold Remediation Plan specific to each project.
- Outline project details, including:
- Rooms/areas to be remediated
- Materials and quantities for cleaning/removal
- Specific remediation methods
- Required personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Clearance procedures and criteria
- Estimated cost and timeframe
- Moisture source identification and recommendations
- Health and safety information for occupants
Post-Remediation Duties:
After remediation, the assessor must verify that:
- All visible mold has been removed.
- Work meets the remediation plan’s clearance criteria.
- Moisture sources have been addressed to prevent recurrence.
A clearance report is then issued to the client.
