Choosing A Mold Removal Contractor
Selecting a mold removal contractor is not as easy as you think. For one thing, mold remediation contractors aren't bound by hard and fast certification rules, unlike other trades. What this means is that there aren't any certifications that are absolutely recognized by the industry, and as such you can take your mold remediation contractor's 4 page long list of certifications at face value. They don't mean much, because they are not the industry standard. This lack of industry guidelines for mold remediation companies has made it difficult to distinguish genuine experienced mold removal contractors from handymen. Use your best judgment, never underestimate experience, and make sure your mild removal company has experience removing mold from the area of the house that you want it to be removed from.
If you really feel better about hiring a mold remediation contractor who has some kinds of certification in this industry that are more frequently cited than others, look for one who has a certification from the National Air Duct Cleaner's Association or the Indoor Air Quality Association. But, certification or the lack of it shouldn't be the basis for your selection. Check if your mold remediation contractor has experience in the sort of mold remediation you're looking for. Some mold removal companies may have extensive experience in removing mold that has intruded into the house through dampness in the kitchen, basement etc. Other sorts of mold infiltrates your HVAC system. Whatever the source of the mold, your mold removal contractor should have sufficient experience dealing with that kind of mold infestation. Different sorts of mold contamination require different sorts of remediation processes. Your mold removal contractor shouldn't be content with a generic method of remediation.
Your mold removal contractor should be aware of all industry regulation requiring the sort of material to use, and methods of containment of mold that are allowed by the law. He must be familiar with environmental regulations governing the disposal of mold spores, and should make adequate efforts to control these. He has to be insured, and bonded, to avoid the risk of you being liable for damages in the case of an accident on your premises. Ask for a written estimate of his work. In the event that new mold formations are discovered after the commencement of the remediation, inquire about the kind of rates that will be charged additionally. These should preferably be by the square foot, rather than by the hour.
