Thank you to all of our students who attended last week's
continuing education course, Mold is Money.
At the class we were asked two (2) questions that we
promised a blog follow-up so here goes:
1. Drywall has an overlay on both sides of the sheetrock to
allow for taping and spackling, but remember to keep the treated side pointed
toward the outside of the structure to avoid mold.
2. There are many different mold remediation certifying
bodies and types of certifications out there.
Below are what we believe to be the top 3 certifications.
- American Council for Accredited Certifications
(ACAC). They have:
- Certified Indoor
Microbial Remediator (CMR)
- Certified Indoor
Environmentalist (CIE) ( I have this
cert.)
- Professional Mold Inspection Institute
- Certified
Residential Mold Inspector (CRMI)
- Certified
Commercial Mold Inspector (CCMI)
- Certified Mold
Remediator (CMR)
- Institute of Inspection Cleaning & Restoration
Certification (IICRC)
- Mold Removal
Specialist (MRS)
