Mold remediation is the physical removal of mold from building materials, furniture, personal property, and removal of spores from the air. Remediation of areas greater then 10 square feet, or any amount of more adverse mold types, requires extensive engineering controls to protect health and prevent the contamination of unaffected areas and should only be performed by a Certified Mold Remediator. A copy of the contractors certification should be provided at your request. Most general contractors and asbestos contractors are not qualified to remediate mold.

The IICRC S520 is a procedural standard and reference guide for the remediation of mold damaged structures and contents. The S520 is based on reliable remediation and restoration principles, research and practical experience, and attempts to combine essential academic principles with practical elements of water damage restoration for technicians facing “real-life” mold remediation challenges. The S520 is written for use by those involved in the mold remediation industry, and is the result of collaboration among microbiologists and other scientists, public health professionals, industrial hygienists, remediation contractors, restoration service companies, cleaning and restoration training schools, trade associations that service the professional restoration industry, allied trade-persons, and others with related professional and practical experience.
