Florida Consumers should know:

  • Florida Consumers should be aware that the new Florida mold law (effective July 1, 2010) will require $1million liability with errors and omissions insurance. Cape Coral, Ft Myers, and Estero mold inspectors will also be required to identify the source and extent of a mold problem.  Home Inspectors and Mold Inspectors  have separate requirements and licenses.

  • Very few mold assessors have E&O insurance and many of those that do carry E&O only have it for preliminary inspections.  The consumer does not benefit from the law if the mold assessor performs a clearance inspection and does not have E&O that covers the service.

  • Mold inspections in the Lee County area will need to identify and document the source and the extent of the mold problem to meet the requirements of the new Florida mold law.  Professional mold inspectors in Ft Myers and all of Florida should provide recommendations for corrections based on accepted national standards if needed.  This allows the consumer to obtain “bids” for cleanup from multiple mold remediation companies all cleaning up the same problem.  Hiring an inspector independent from the cleanup company is best for the consumer, ethical, and required by the new Florida mold statutes (July 1, 2010) in a few months.

Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) has adopted the  ACAC exam for
Certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) , CIEC and CMC  for applicants to become a State of Florida Licensed Mold Assessor. 
.
.
.

“Assessors:

The department has approved the Council-certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) examination, the Council-certified Indoor Environmental Consultant (CIEC) examination, or the Council-certified Microbial Consultant (CMC) examination offered by American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC) for purposes of mold assessor licensure. Applicants must achieve a passing grade pursuant to the requirements of the ACAC and Section 455.217, Florida Statutes.”

Mold News  (Mold Assessors for Federal Government projects "Must be CIH or ACAC Certified")

July 2011
The federal government has a “mold remediation” specification that specifies the use of assessors and contractors who hold certain certifications. CIH  or ACAC certifications,  CIE, CIEC, CMC, etc.
United Facilities Guide Specifications (USGS 02 8500.00 20 Mold Remediation).   http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/DOD/UFGS/UFGS%2002%2085%2000.00%2020.pdf

Cape Coral consumers should hire Mold Assessors / Inspector that at least meet the minimum requirements the US government has for it's mold problems.

Most licensed Florida Mold Assessors were "grandfathered" and did not pass an ACAC exam required by Florida law. http://acac.org/certify/FL.aspx

Cape Coral Mold Inspectors that are Certified Indoor Environmentalists are qualified to write the recommendations for remediation.

Your Cape Coral Mold Inspection report needs detailed recommendation for cleanup, this allows consumer to compare licensed mold remediators qotes for the mold removal.  (everyone is cleaning the same areas).

Most Cape Coral licensed mold assessors/inspectors were grandfathered into license and did not pass the adopted CIE exam.

About a dozen CIE licensed mold assessors/inspectors work in Cape Coral providing detailed mold inspection reports.

  • Inspectors that have certifications that meet the NOCA 1100 standard for IAQ certifications approved by ANSI don’t have a problem obtaining E&O insurance for all phases of mold assessment.

.

IAQ certifications .......... March 9, 2009.... Washington, DC
The new standard confirms and codifies three groups that have policies that qualify them as certification programs under the national Standard 1100.
 
1.      The American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) which offers the Certified Industrial Hygienist, CIH designation.
2.      The American Council for Accredited Certification, (ACAC)  www.acac.org which offers several designations:

Local Cape Coral Home Inspectors should follow a published "Standard of Practice"; what they do and what they do not do for your inspection.  Home Inspectors and Mold Inspectors, two very different professions will be regulated and licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation begining afterJuly 1, 2010.  Home Inspector Errors and Omissions insurance does not cover MOLD or CHINESE DRYWALL Inspections.  Environmental issues require environmental insurance.

CS/CS/CS HB 713 Department of Business and Professional Regulation:

One of the most significant changes in the mold law that protects consumers is:

 (1) A mold assessor shall maintain general liability and errors and omissions for both preliminary and post remediation  mold assessment insurance coverage in an amount of at least $1 million

Consumers in the Cape Coral area including Alva, Boca Grande, Bokeelia, Bonita Springs, Captiva, Cape Coral, Estero, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Fort Myers Shores, Fort Myers Villas, Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, Page Park, Pine Island Center, Punta Rassa, Sanibel, San Carlos Park, St. James City, Tice, Waterway Estates should hire professional mold inspectors that have "Certifications" that are approved by the American National Standards Institute, (ANSI).  Your mold inspector should document the source of the mold problem, the extent of the mold problem and provide recommendations for corrections based on nationally accepted industry standards such as the S-520 and S-500.
Mold Assessors (inspectors/testers) are required by Florida Law to be licensed for mold assessment by the Florida DBPR.
