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

Marco Island consumers should hire Mold Assessors / Inspectors 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

Florida Law Requires Mold Assessors (Inspectors) to be licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.  

Section 468.8419(2)(d), F.S., provides that a remediator may not "perform or offer to perform any assessment to a structure on which the mold remediator or the remediator's company provided a mold remediation within the last 12 months."  

.

Section 468.8419(1)(d), F.S., provides that an assessor may not "perform or offer to perform any remediation to a structure on which the mold assessor or the assessor's company provided a mold assessment within the last 12 months." 

Marco Island homes can have humidity problems many areas don't simply because so many homes are vacant for months at a time. Homeowners need to be sure to have their homes checked on a regularly when they are gone. Special attention to the humidity levels inside the home is a must.  HVAC (A/C) should be serviced at least once a year and checked by home watch service when occupant is gone. Clean Filters keep the HVAC coils clean which aids in removing moisture from the air preventing a "humidity bloom" inside the home.

         Considering Bioaerosol Sampling

http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/chapter7/lesson2.html

 

"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 for mold should be conducted by professionals who have specific experience in designing mold sampling protocols, sampling methods, and interpreting the results."   EPA

 

"Experience in interpretation of results is essential.”   EPA

 

Your inspector should interpret you lab results not a lab tech hundreds of miles away.

The new Florida mold law scheduled to be effective in 2010 will require all Marco Island mold inspectors to identify and document source and extent of mold for a mold inspection/assessment.

12.jpg

Mold needs moisture to grow (food & water), an infrared thermal imaging camera survey is a vital  part of any Marco Island mold inspection.  Any moisture detected with infrared thermal imaging cameras should be confirmed with a moisture meter.  Moisture meters can scan about one square inch at time, a infrared camera scans several square feet at a time.

Marco Island homeowners should be aware of the proper way to address a "mold problem" it can save them dollars and protect their health.  Mold Cleanup Info:

Mold Clearance requires an inspection and testing. If your inspector only does just a "mold test", you did not have a real Clearance.

Copper pipe plumbing on Marco Island

Marco Island homes that have "copper pipe" plumbing are begining to fail (plumbing leaks).   If you leave for an extended time, it is recommended you turn off you water supply to home if possible.   Southwest Florida homes have fewer plumbing leaks when pvc pipe is used.  Copper just does not seem to survive our water.
Anyone checking for water leaks which can cause mold growth should use an infrared thermal imaging camera and moisture meters.

NEVER use just air samples to determine if a Marco Island home needs mold remediation / cleanup.
Fungal Contamination:
"A Manual For Investigation, Remediation And Control"
By: Hollace S. Bailey, PE, CIAQP, CIE, CMR

www.becifl.com

"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."

Marco Island Mold inspection / assessment should be performed by a third party, independent company.  You should not have the cleanup company find the mold, clean it up and then check their own work. (unethical) Mold Inspection and cleanup should be done by two independent companies.

 Florida Law (July 1, 2010) requires Marco Island, Naples and all Florida Mold inspectors be licensed as State of Florida Licensed Mold Assessors. Home Inspectors have a separate license also required by law and issued by the DBPR.
ACAC board Certified Indoor Environmentalist, licensed as Mold Assessor is qualified to determine if your Marco Island home has a "mold problem" and can identify and document the sources and extent and legally write the remediation recommendations.  Never decide a home needs mold remediation based on just a home inspectors air tests.
