Mold is found everywhere but Mold Growth should not be inside your Naples, Marco
Island, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Ft Myers, or Orlando Florida home. ACAC board Certified Indoor Environmentalists can determine
if your structure has a mold problem and write recomendation for correcting it based on accepted national standards.
Florida law
requires Mold Assessors ( Mold Inspection / Sampling) to be licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Our Certified
Indoor Environmentalists are experienced and qualified to perform your mold inspection / testing and interpret the lab results.

Inspector license does NOT qualify as Mold Assessor license. .
Consumers should insist their mold inspection company have state
licensed mold assessors . Licensed mold inspectors are required to have $1million liability and E&O insurance for
pre and post remediation inspections and testing.

. 6. Do I currently need a license to perform mold-related services (assessment or remediation)? A license will be required after July 1, 2010 (PROTECT
YOURSELF HIRE LICENSED MOLD INSPECTORS)
Question: How do you know if you need a mold inspection?
Answer: If you’ve ever had a water intrusion, damaged building materials, musty odors, health complaints or if
the owner / buyer has an immune problem; a mold inspection can identify an existing or potential mold problem.
Question: How do I choose a mold inspector?
Answer: You should choose your mold inspector based on their knowledge and experience of using the "best available
science" and not scare tactics or hype.
We have been trained
and certified by the nation's most respected environmental associations.
Question: How is a mold inspection
performed? Answer: A visual assessment should be made of the subject
property to identify potential conditions condusive to mold growth and/or visible mold. Subsequent sample collection
should be based from the information aquired during the visual assessment. Occupant testimony about property history
and occupant health issues (if any). Data interpretation of lab analysis. The inspector can now take all of the information
collectively to confirm or rule out potential sources of moisture and/or mold contamination. Mold presence should
never be determined soley on air testing alone. The source of any elevated mold condition needs to be identified.
Mold Facts:Mold growth can start as soon as 24 hours after water intrusion has
occurred. Mold can often be seen in the form of a discoloration or a stain. When molds are present in large quantities,
called colonies, they become a health concern. Molds are divided into three basic groups based
on health effects: Allergenic molds:
Can cause allergic symptoms such as headache, fatigue, itchy eyes or throat, etc. Pathogenic molds: Can cause suppressed immune systems, or serious health effects in a person who already has a decreased
immune system.Toxic molds: Can cause serious health effects in almost everyone. These effects may be short-term irritations to even cancer.

Protect yourself:
Florida Law requires Mold Assessors (inspectors /testers) to be licensed by the
DBPR. Protect yourself and your client!! Make sure to ask for credentials. Your mold assessor should have Errors & Ommisions
insurance which can only be attained if they have taken a certification class for mold assessment by an accredited instructor.
We follow the mold assessment protocols of the Indoor Environmental Standards Organization.
Visual Assessments:
A visual assessment of the subject property is a very important part of the mold
assessment. During a visual assessment, conditions conducive to mold presence are noted by location including photograghs
and as part of our non-intrusive moisture inspection methods we use a Protimeter (moisture meter) & Infrared Thermal Imaging
Technology. We\'ve seen many instances where air sampling showed that no elevated mold conditions existed, however there were
locations of elevated moisture behind substrates. When there is elevated moisture, typically there is elevated mold; the mold
may not be airborne yet and trapped behind the substrate. But given enough time and water the mold literally eats the substrate
and eventually will become airborne. Again, the visual assessment is a very important part of the mold assessment.
To view a short movie about Infrared Thermal Imaging. Click the link below.
A particle counter is an instrument
that detects and counts particles.
In a clean home or
room the number of particles in the air should be lower than in a room with mold growth producing mold spores
into the air.
The room with mold, particles should
be higher. A particle counter is just another tool for the mold inspector. As with air sampling (tests) or infrared thermal imaging cameras many things can influence
the results. Hopefully the more sophisticated instruments an inspector use in
the inspection, the more accurate your results.
Mold inspectors / environmentalist
can determine indoor air quality more quickly.
“The main use for handheld particle counters is checking contamination
levels and locating sources of particle emissions. The small size and weight of these
particle counters make them ideal for point-of-use measurement of particle contamination at critical locations. Hand held
particle counters have proven themselves in many settings.”
Mold Assessment / Inspection We generally charge
by the number of HVAC units rather than by the square foot of the property.
Mold Assessment
– Visual Inspection and Sampling Fees: Qualifications: State of Florida Licensed
Mold Assessors # MRS2 & MRS5 - Council Certified Indoor Environmentalists (CIE) – board awarded by the American Council for Accredited Certification
(ACAC) - Professional Experience: Specializing
in mold and moisture assessments, indoor air quality investigations, sampling design and interpretation, infrared thermal
imaging, odor identification, Chinese drywall inspection and radon testing, We have performed over 8,000 IAQ related investigations in Florida since 2004. Each investigation culminates with
a full report including written and photographic documentation of findings and remedial recommendations. These
investigations require the utilization of our training and background specific to water intrusion events, moisture control,
mold prevention, building science and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) operation and design. - Insurance: Professional Liability / $2,000,000 General Liability and Errors &
Omissions Insurance (Covers preliminary mold assessments)
Microbial Consulting Coverage: $1,000,000 / $1,000,000 limit / claims made (Covers post remediation
inspections) - Non-Intrusive Visual Inspection of Accessible Spaces: Infrared thermal imaging is utilized to identify potential moisture sources throughout the accessible spaces.
In conjunction with thermal imaging, we also incorporate the use of a protimeter (moisture meter) for the purpose of
identifying, confirming and documenting any elevated moisture conditions. Written and photographic documentation
of all identified suspect conditions regarding mold growth and/or conditions conducive to mold growth throughout the accessible
spaces. - Indoor Air Quality Sampling: We follow the Indoor Environmental
Standards Organization (IESO) sampling protocols. Air sampling is designed to quantify the respective airborne presence of
fungal spores in the interior living spaces in relationship to what is naturally occurring outdoors, commonly referred to
as normal fungal ecology. Air samples are collected by utilizing a high volume sampling pump calibrated to a flow rate of
15 liters per minute. We use an American Industrial Hygiene Association EMLAP
accredited, third party laboratory for direct microscopy analysis of collected samples. - Surface Sampling: Surface sampling is only performed when suspected microbial growth is observed for positive
identification of visible mold growth and its correlation to the air sampling analysis. Since some molds do not aerosolize
easily without being disturbed, surface sampling is in some cases, is essential in identifying an elevated mold presence. - Remediation: We do not
perform any mold remediation activity as it is a serious conflict of interest. Remedial recommendations
(if applicable) are provided based on the culmination of information gathered from the visual inspection and sampling analysis
in accordance with the IICRC S520 Mold Remediation Standard. - Reporting: In most cases, reports are issued via email; 2-3 business days after the inspections
are complete. - Pricing: Visual inspection
with air sampling of accessible indoor living spaces for a property with one HVAC system - $575.00 (Air
sampling includes (1) air sample at main return area and (1) control/baseline sample outdoors). If suspected mold growth is
observed during the visual inspection, surface sampling may be recommended by the inspector. Surface samples are $125.00 each.
If the client requests an attic inspection, add $325.00
Additional Information: We are required
to have a signed agreement before we can issue the inspection report. Requests for a “certificate
of insurance” should be made at least 24hours before the inspection. - Respectfully, Doug Wall, CIE State of Florida Licensed Mold Assessor #MRS2
EPA (Air Sampling) http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/chapter7/lesson2.html Bioaerosol sampling (air sampling for mold or other biological contaminants) usually is not necessary to determine remediation
effectiveness. In
fact, bioaerosol sampling may be less effective at determining the success of remediation than visual and sensory surveys
of the area. Although sampling may be of some help in judging remediation effectiveness,
remember that a negative sampling report must not be used in place of a visual survey. Factors
such as barometric pressure, inside and outside temperatures, activity levels, and humidity may dramatically reduce or increase
the spore levels within a building. Air sampling for mold provides information on what was in the air only for the moment
when the sampling occurred. It is important, therefore, that sampling not replace visual inspection.
Sampling
Basics:
Indoor Air Sampling:
Indoor air samples should be collected
near the main return with the fan in the "on" postion. An additional air sample should be taken for each HVAC system.
If there is more than one level to the property, at least one air sample should be taken per level. If a room has any "Red Flags" such as visible mold, signs of water intrusion or musty smell, an additional
air test or swab set may be recommended.
Outdoor Air
Sampling:
Outside samples should NOT be collected under any
overhang of the property (not on lanai, under carport or porch). Also, outside samples should not be taken when it's raining.
Swab/Tape Surface Sampling:
Surface samples should be taken if there is visible suspect
mold present.

Fungal Contamination:
A Manual For Investigation, Remediation
and Control
By : Hollace S. Bailey, PE, CIAQP,
CIE, CMR
“Data analysis: The assessment of a building cannot be based solely
on the results of the testing methods described above, as investigators must understand the significance of test results in
relation to conditions present at the test locations. The overall visual observations
made of the building must be considered in combination with the results of any testing, to determine the overall condition
of the building. Test results alone should
never be considered to give a definitive account of the building’s condition.” |
Quote:
New York City Department of Health (DOH), the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA), and the Mt. Sinai Occupational
Health Clinic ….. Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi
in Indoor Environments.
2.1 Visual Inspection ****** A visual inspection is the most important initial step in identifying
a possible contamination problem. The extent of any water damage and mold growth should be visually assessed.
This assessment is important in determining remedial strategies. Ventilation systems should also be visually checked, particularly
for damp filters but also for damp conditions elsewhere in the system and overall cleanliness. Ceiling tiles, gypsum wallboard
(sheetrock), cardboard, paper, and other cellulosic surfaces should be given careful attention during a visual inspection.
The use of equipment such as a boroscope, to view spaces in ductwork or behind walls, or a moisture
meter, to detect moisture in building materials, may be helpful in identifying hidden sources of fungal growth and
the extent of water damage. |
|
http://www.epa.gov/iaq/molds/i-e-r.html#Sampling 
“Sampling
may help locate the source of mold contamination, identify some of the mold species present, and differentiate between mold
and soot or dirt. Pre- and post-remediation sampling may also be useful in determining whether remediation efforts have been
effective.”
“Keep
in mind that air sampling for mold provides information only for the moment in time in which the sampling occurred, much like
a snapshot. Air sampling will reveal, when properly done, what was in the air at the moment when the sample was taken. For
someone without experience, sampling results will be difficult to interpret. Experience in interpretation of results
is essential.”

Mold Remediation:
(We believe it is not ethical to test and
do remediation work)
The source of the following information about mold remediation is the:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Here's the direct link to the document:
"A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture
and Your Home" For more information about radon & mold visit: www.certifiedradonmold.com
For mold in the attic, many recommend cleaning it with
bleach, allow to dry then cover with a mold prevent paint.
Who should do the cleanup depends on a number of factors.
One consideration is the size of the mold problem. If the moldy area is less than about 10 square feet (less than roughly
a 3 ft. by 3 ft. patch), in most cases, you can handle the job yourself, following the guidelines below. However:
- If there has been a lot of water damage, and/or mold growth
covers more than 10 square feet, consult the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guide: Mold Remediation in Schools
and Commercial Buildings. Although focused on schools and commercial buildings, this document is applicable to other
building types. It is available free by calling the EPA Indoor Air Quality Information Clearinghouse at (800) 438-4318,
or here at epa.gov/mold/mold_remediation.html.
- If you choose to hire a contractor (or other professional service
provider) to do the cleanup, make sure the contractor has experience cleaning up mold. Check references and ask the
contractor to follow the recommendations in EPA's Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings, the guidelines of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygenists (ACGIH), or other guidelines from professional or government organizations.
- If you suspect that the heating/ventilation/air conditioning
(HVAC) system may be contaminated with mold (it is part of an identified moisture problem, for instance, or there is mold
near the intake to the system), consult EPA's guide Should You Have the Air Ducts in Your Home Cleaned? before taking further
action. Do not run the HVAC system if you know or suspect that it is contaminated with mold - it could spread mold throughout
the building. Visit epa.gov/iaq/pubs/airduct.html, or call (800) 438-4318 for a free copy.
- If the water and/or mold damage was caused by sewage or other
contaminated water, then call in a professional who has experience cleaning and fixing buildings damaged by contaminated water.
- If you have health concerns, consult a health professional
before starting cleanup.
Biological Pollutants in Your Home - This document explains indoor biological pollution, health effects of biological pollutants, and how to control
their growth and buildup. One third to one half of all structures have damp conditions that may encourage development of pollutants
such as molds and bacteria, which can cause allergic reactions -- including asthma -- and spread infectious diseases.
Describes corrective measures for achieving moisture control and cleanliness. This brochure was prepared by the American
Lung Association and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The publication was updated by CPSC in 1997 www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/425.html

The photo below is an air scrubber. This unit is usually used in conjunction
with mold remediation. It is common to run an air scrubber after mold cleanup (remediation) and before a post cleanup
air test. It can remove "dead" & "live" mold spores from the air. If you
clean up your own mold problem it behooves you to run an air scrubber. Mike Chilton of WATERDEX (mold cleanup company)
will run one of his scrubbers for you at a reasonable rate (about $195 last we checked). Many Realtors are having
the scrubber run in a home prior to listing them. With the idea that any mold showing up during the home inspection
mold test will be from new mold growth.
