Mold Remediation

The one-day Mold Remediation Symposium that R&R held on April 9, 2013 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, N.J. was very successful.

It is a natural question. “Is there anything you can do to keep it from coming back?” The “it” is the mold, and the professional remediator or indoor environmental professional (IEP) is expected to have an answer that satisfies the common sense of the customer.

In an official press release from the IICRC, further context was given about the present and future state of the standard.

Via a recent edition of IAQ Radio, IICRC Chairman Darrell Paulson announced that ANSI has officially withdrawn approval of the S520 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation.

Those interested in attending the Mold Remediation Symposium, a special one-day event coming to Secaucus, NJ, on Tuesday, April 9, can receive the early, discounted registration rate of $249 up until March 22.

A number of RIA members have partnered with All Hands Volunteers to create The Sandy Solution, a cleaning solution designed to remediate houses with mold growth as a result of flood damage from Hurricane Sandy, according to a press release.

The Problem:On October 29, Hurricane Sandy made landfall along the mid-Atlantic Eastern seaboard. Although wind damage was extensive, storm surge and associated flooding created hundreds of thousands of water-damaged structures from Delaware to Connecticut, with severe impact in New York and New Jersey.

The Mold Remediation Symposium, a special one-day event coming to Secaucus, NJ on Tuesday, April 9, is designed to instruct professionals on the latest in the cleaning, restoration and remediation of mold in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.

You know the drill by now: There’s a residential loss. The homeowner calls their insurance company to file a claim. The job gets started.

I cringed when I heard my client say “we are not following the S520” as he was complaining about being mistreated by a claims adjuster on a job.
