MOLD Services
Remediation will be performed within generally accepted industry guidelines.The following three organizations are widely recognized by professional mold companies
1. IICRC – Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification.
2. EPA – Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings. http://www.epa.gov/iaq/molds/mold_remediation.html
3. NY City DOH Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments
In all situations, the underlying cause of water accumulation must be rectified or fungal growth will recur. Any initial water infiltration should be stopped and cleaned immediately. An immediate response (within 24 to 48 hours) and thorough clean up, drying, and/or removal of water damaged materials will prevent or limit mold growth. If the source of water is elevated humidity, relative humidity should be maintained at levels below 60% to inhibit mold growth. Emphasis should be on ensuring proper repairs of the building infrastructure, so that water damage and moisture buildup does not recur.
Currently there is not adequate data to relate the extent of contamination to frequency or severity of health effects. The goal of remediation is to remove or clean contaminated materials in a way that prevents the emission of fungi and dust contaminated with fungi from leaving a work area and entering an occupied or non-abatement area, while protecting the health of workers performing the abatement.
The client understands and agrees that the visual inspection and testing can report only; (1) water and mold problems in existence on the date of the inspection and testing; and (2) water and mold problems physically present in the precise and exact subject property locations that are actually inspected. Air tests can only report the presence of mold spores in the air of each room in which an air sample is taken. Air tests or swab samples can only report the presence of mold spores in the individual heating, ventilation and air conditioning ducts in which air tests or swab samples are taken. The moisture meter can only detect wet conditions ¾ of an inch into building materials tested, and only in locations actually tested. We cannot report on areas or locations in the building that have not been specifically inspected and tested. Indiana Residential is not responsible or liable for the non-discovery of any water damage, water problems or mold contamination or mold problems or other conditions of the subject property or any other problems which may occur or may become evident after the inspection and testing time and date. Indiana Residential is not an insurer or guarantor against water problems, mold problems or other defects in the subject property and improvements, systems or components inspected.
Indiana Residential makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the fitness for use or condition of the systems or components not directly stated in your estimate. Indiana Residential assumes no responsibility for the cost of repairing any water problems, mold problems or any other defects or conditions. Indiana Residential is not responsible or liable for any future water problems, mold problems or any other future failures or repairs.
Any modification to the treated areas whether intentional or unintentional, or a new source of moisture in and around the affected areas could compromise the completed work. Therefore, no warranties are stated or implied by Indiana Residential MOLD Services regarding future mold growth.
If there are no modifications or new sources of moisture in and around the affected area Indiana Residential MOLD Services will re-treat the previously treated area free of cost if mold is found within 30 days of original treatment. Does not include mold found on damaged carpet installed prior to remediation.
