This is the last of a five part series providing insights and suggestions for restoration contractors who are faced with situations involving chemically sensitized occupants. The focus has been on individuals whose sensitivities are related to chemical exposures.
As we begin, it is important to remember that cleaning structures for chemically sensitized individuals involves the removal or control of chemical source material as well as the removal of chemical residues; including residue that has adhered to dust.

In this edition of the Restoration Roundup, we're talking mold remediation, mold-sensitized individuals, insurance fraud, asbestos, reconstruction and more.
One of the biggest challenges faced by people sick from mold is the fact that doctors, friends, and other family members dismiss their symptoms. Many victims of mold sickness are labelled as hypochondriacs and accused of not being sick at all.
The goal is to train contractors on the application of this mold removal and prevention system so that AMP can serve the growing market of mold sensitized individuals.
