Choosing the Right Certified Mold Contractor
When mold colonies and spores are found in the home or office, finding the right mold contractor is essential to making sure mold is removed safely.
EPA
The mold removal industry is overseen by many governing bodies. The first is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA has set federal standards and regulations on proper mold removal and remediation. These standards are simple and general, yet effective. Reputable mold contractors should always adhere to the EPA's guidelines during mold removal projects.
IICRC
Another major governing body that sets regulations for mold contractors is the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). The IICRC is a non-profit group that was formed in 1972. Originally known as the IICUC, the group standardized and governed regulations for the carpet cleaning and upholstery industry. Once their values were recognized and adopted on a national scale, the company produced guidelines for all restoration services. Now an internationally recognized governing body, the IICRC's S520 Guidelines for Mold Removal are an industry standard and should be followed during any mold removal project.
IICRC Certification
The IICRC trains and certifies technicians all over the world to ensure safe and healthy mold restoration projects. With over 53,000 certified technicians throughout the world, finding a certified mold contractor should be easy. The IICRC currently offers six certification tracks, offering mold contractors state of the art knowledge and technology for safe mold removal.
