Mold Tests are only part of an Orlando or Naples Mold Inspection. A visual
inspection, infrared thermal imaging check of structure, moisture detection with moisture meters are just as important as
the mold test (Mold-Air Sampling). Remember, Mold tests (air sample collection) can be affected many varibles that can
give a false positive or negative. Very few Home Inspectors are certified for mold inspections by the ACAC
which requires 2 years experience. www.acac.org

After July 1, 2010 Orlando home inspectors and mold inspectors will be two different professions.
New Florida law will require mold inspectors to carry $1,000,000 liability and errors and omissions insurance. Mold inspectors
will also be required to have 4 years experience (1 year experience with specific college degrees). No Experience requirement
for home inspectors. Mold inspections are environmental issues and are not part of any "standard of practice"
for home inspectors.

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."

Orlando Home Inspectors
for Mold Inspections? First-line mold screening done by home inspectors is to get preliminary information on whether a mold
problem may exist and further investigation is warranted.
NEXT A
Professional mold inspector will determine if property has a mold/moisture problem, identify and document the sources and
write recommendations for corrections. (for the client and remediation company if needed). ACAC Certified Indoor Environmentalist or a Certified Industrial Hygienist is qualified to determine
if a home has a mold problem and determine what should be done to correct mold problem! REMEMBER:
Most Orlando Home inspectors only do limited sampling or mold testing, screening.This is not enough to determine
if a property really has a mold problem. (read your inspector agreement)
The job of the remediation company is to clean up mold, not find
it.

The book "Fungal Contamination" is considered one of
the best mold inspection resources documents in the country by professional mold assessors.
Fungal Contamination:
"A Manual For Investigation, Remediation And Control"
By: Hollace S. Bailey, PE, CIAQP, CIE, CMR
www.becifl.com
- "Anything can be toxic in high enough concentrations, even water! If
you drink too much water to quickly, your body fluids will become dilute. The result is tissue damage and death."
- "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."
-
"Testing is just another tool that provides us with information.
By itself, testing does not do anything, accomplish anything, or fix anything."
-
"Indoor
levels of fungal spores may also be elevated as a result of poor interior hygiene and housekeeping. This by itself, or in conjunction with inadequate air movement and filtration,
can easily result in elevated levels of spores both in the dust on surfaces (transitory) and in the air."

Orlando mold
inspectors should be certified by the American Indoor Air Quality Council. This is the only environmental association that requires 2 years experience to be certified. Applicants
must also pass a test and be approved by a national certification board.
All the other
environmental associations do not have experience requirements.
Anyone can
take a 1 day class, take a simple test and be “certified” as a mold inspector.
There are
no regulations for home inspectors or mold inspectors in Florida.
Many consumers,
even Realtors who do not know this.

http://www.iaqcouncil.org
"Instant" certification is not available. Each of our certifications
is board-awarded, which means the IAQ Council certification board reviews each applicant’s file, including the application,
examination score, documented field experience and attention to application details before awarding certification. All
experience may be verified before the applicant's file is sent to the certification board. This type of certification
process is worthy of the time it takes... up to 6 weeks following the study/review course and successful examination."

as an American National Standard by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) Board of Standards Review.” http://www.iaqcouncil.org/forms/otherpdfs/NOCA%20Article%203-09.pdf “Many holders of private, IAQ-related credentials may be surprised
to learn that according to one of the premier standards setting bodies in the industry, their credentials are not actually
certifications. Many inspectors take a one or two day class and receive a “certificate of completion”
and then claim to be “certified mold inspectors”; a certification not recognized by the new National Standard

Orlando, Florida mold inspections should be conducted by a American Council for Accredited Certification
(ACAC) Certified Microbial Investigator or Certified Indoor Environmentalist. (www.acac.org ) They follow published IESO standards on how to test, where to test and when to test. Deciding if a home has a mold issue based only on lab analysis that
can be flawed because of any number of reasons should be avoided. Mold air sampling
is only a small part of a complete mold assessment.
