FAQ

Is there a mould remediation standard?

Yes, the international standard is the ANSI/IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation (Fourth edition, 2024).

Mould Illness/CIRS patients may need a higher level of remediation than the IICRC standard. The Surviving Mold protocol to achieve this level is outlined in Schrantz, et al. (2021).  Indoor Environmental Professional Panel of Surviving Mold Consensus Statement for Microbial Remediation 2020. Medical Research Archives, 9(1). https://doi.org/10.18103/mra.v9i1.2327

Should the mould remediator be different from the mould/building inspector?

Yes, ideally. Please see the Part 7 of the FAQ.

Mould Remediation Companies

As there is NO regulation of the industry, a significant majority of remediators do a very bad job! At the every least, a remediator should be an IICRC trained mould remediator and provide their ID card as evidence of their qualifications. The following companies generally get good reviews, but please do your own research before deciding on a remediation company.
