Post Mold Remediation Evaluation

Knowing when a remediation is complete can be a bit tricky. To help you evaluate if a remediation is complete, the EPA has put together the following checklist to help you assess the remediation.

1. You must have completely fixed the water or moisture problem.
2. You should complete mold removal. Use professional judgment to determine if the cleanup is sufficient. Visible mold, mold-damaged materials, and moldy odors should not be present.
3. After cleanup activities have been completed, the kinds and concentrations of mold and mold spores sampled in the building should be similar to those found outside.
4. You should revisit the site(s) shortly after remediation, and it should show no signs of water damage or mold growth.
5. People should be able to occupy or re-occupy the space without health complaints or physical symptoms.
6. Ultimately, this is a judgment call; there is no easy answer.
