SAMPLE RADON REPORT
EPA
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."

Can your home inspector interpret your
mold lab results?
http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/chapter3/lesson3.html
"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.”

Radon
& Mold Professionals
John:
I have
spoken with Dave, and he is extremely pleased with your prompt response. When I meet with the homeowners in person to
go over the reports, they are always pleased with the detail, and the pictures included. It helps me better explain
the situation to them, and we know that if the customer is happy, the adjuster is happy.
I did
just want to take a moment to say that we are really happy with Rob and the work that he has done for us. He communicates
very well with myself and Heather, and has worked with us to get through any issues that have arisen.
Thank
you so much for the referrals, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
Look
forward to seeing you soon…somewhere! PuroClean 1st Restoration Solutions

A mold inspection report that does NOT identify the extent and source of any mold problem, icluding
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 will be against Florida law in 2010.

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.
