Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) has adopted the  ACAC exam for

.
.
.

“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

Punta Gorda / Port Charlotte 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

SAMPLE RADON REPORT

 
EPAepa 

         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."

Charlotte / Collier / Lee County state of Florida Licensed Mold Remediators(updated 12/2/2010)

A Port Charlotte or Punta Gorda mold inspection report that does NOT identify the extent and source of any mold problem, include remediation recommendations based on Nationally accepted standards is of little use to a homeowner or a respectable remediation company.

A mold inspection / assessment should be performed by an independent company, you do not want the same company to identify a problem, fix the problem and then perform the clearance inspection (prove cleanup was done properly).  This is unethical and is against Florida law.

Residents of Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Venice and all of Charlotte and Sarasota Counties should require their mold assessor (inspector) to be state licensed, carry mold E&O insurance and be at least a ACAC board Certified Indoor Environmentalist, Microbial Investigator or an Certified Industrial Hygienist.

 
 New Florida Mold Law In a effort to protect the citizens of Florida, Florida Governor Crist signed Mold / Inspection legislation (SB2234) into law. The new law will regulate the Mold Inspection industry and Home Inspection businesses and individuals.

Individuals will need a license and businesses will need to be certified.  The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation will handle the licensing and the company certifications.

 To veiw the new Florida mold / inspector law: http://election.dos.state.fl.us/laws/07laws/ch_2007-235.pdf  Law and more info:http://www.naplesmoldinspection.com/id12.html

The SOP should be in effect within 90 days if it is not challenged. SOP describes what must be covered and penalties for Home Inspectors.  
 FL SOP 2012.pdf (162.6 KB)
 NOTE:Home Inspector License is different from a Mold Assessor License.   
 
http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/services.html Home Inspector Licensed Needed:  
  • "Advertising or representing oneself to be a Home Inspector."
  • "A person acting within his or her authorized scope of practice as licensed under federal, state, or local codes or statutes, except when such person holds himself or herself out for hire to the public as a "certified home inspector," "registered home inspector," "licensed home inspector," "home inspector," "professional home inspector," or any combination thereof stating or implying licensure"
