FLORIDA MOLD LAW (click here)

Are Naples and Ft Myers homes are being labeled as having a mold problem when in fact they do not?

  • Sellers need to protect themselves from unqualified mold inspectors. If the “inspector” is not qualified to interpret the lab analysis, identify the source of mold related problems and write recommendations for corrections, they are not qualified to perform the inspection. Mold inspectors should have mold errors and omissions insurance. 
  • Buyers should be allowed to order a mold inspection but sellers should require it be done by a qualified indoor air quality professional. 

     

Sellers should consider adding these requirements into their contract

until the NEW Florida Mold Law is enforced by the DBPR.

 

American Indoor Air Quality CouncilTM  Certified Indoor EnvironmentalistTM  (CIE) or a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) must perform the mold inspection and testing on buyers’ behalf.

 

The mold inspection & report must include all the following:

 

·        Source identification of mold and moisture; with documentation of all suspect conditions. (new law, 2010)

 *    Mold Inspector must have General Liability and Errors & Omissions Insurance in the amount of not less than $1 million.   (new law, 2010)

                              Nationally accepted industry standards

·        Interpretation of mold sampling analysis by the inspector, not the lab. 

·        Sampling collections must follow published testing standards. (IESO)  

·        Written recommendations for corrections; must follow IICRC S520 remediation standards.
