Add a moisture problem like a broken pipe or a leaky water heater and you've got the perfect breeding ground for a serious mold problem.

Before You Let A Company Begin ANY Mold Remediation Work – You Need To Know What They SHOULD Be Doing.

The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, or IICRC, has created a standard process for Certified Mold Remediation contractors to follow when removing mold from a property. Here are five important steps to ensure your client's home is taken care of the right way.

1. Initial Inspection and Determination
2. Prepping the home for Remediation
3. The actual Remediation process
4. Follow-up Evaluation & Verification
5. Clean up

Every Next Generation affiliate strictly adheres to this standard. For complete details on what's involved with each step, check out Next Generation's Standard Process.

There are a few more things you and your clients should know prior to moving ahead with the mold remediation process:

Who Are The individuals That Will Actually Perform The Work?

One of the most important questions to ask when interviewing a potential Mold Remediation Company is about their employees – are they well trained and certified? At Next Generation, every affiliate is trained, certified and receives continuing education. However, you should also understand who performs the inspection and verification steps in the Mold Remediation process:

Certified Mold Remediator
Usually called a CMR, this person handles the initial inspection and analyzes the gathered information. After physical removal of the mold, the CMR conducts another inspection to evaluate the status of the property and to ensure all removal is complete.

Indoor Environmental Professional
The IEP is sometimes called in after the initial inspection if further assessment of the property is required and before the actual remediation can begin. They return AFTER the CMR has done the post-remediation evaluation to perform a verification, which is a signed form stating the remediation was successful and is complete.

What Chemicals And Equipment Will Be Used?

There are a lot of different chemicals and processes used to remove mold. Over the years, Next Generation has developed products that are safe and work so well, we back them up with a written warranty. But how do Next Generation's products stack up against everything else that's out there?

From Negative Air Machines to HEPA vacuums, there are specific pieces of equipment used in the Mold Remediation process. For more information on what it takes to actually remove mold from a property, check out our Mold Remediation Equipment breakdown.

What Kind Of Costs Can You Expect?

Both the initial inspection and remediation will cost your client money. However, due to the chance of finding "unseen" mold, they may not know the final cost until the mold remediation project has been completed. Be aware of companies that provide a quote based ONLY on the mold they see – your client may be surprised when they get the final bill!

At Next Generation, this won't be a problem becuase our philosophy is to ensure there are no hidden costs for our customers.

Now that you know the truth about mold, you can help your client's to confidently contact, interview, and hire the right Mold Remediation Company. To contact a Next Generation Specialist in your area, contact us today.
