A look inside
Who it’s for
- You have more mold than you can safely handle yourself and need to hire someone
- You have quotes that are hard to compare because each one includes different things
- You want to know what to check before you make the final payment
- You are managing a remediation for an insurance claim or a rental property
Questions
Where do the containment and clearance criteria come from?
From EPA's Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings and its home mold guide, and from the New York City Health Department's mold guidelines. Each page names its sources.
Does it tell me which contractor to hire?
No. It helps you ask the same questions of everyone, compare like with like, and spot gaps before you sign.
How do I get the file?
Right after checkout you land on a download page, and the same link arrives by email. The link stays valid for 30 days, so save the PDF somewhere you will find it.
