Extensive Mold Growth

Extensive Mold Growth
If the preliminary determination indicates extensive mold
growth that is visible, hidden or suspected as a result of
a chronic or lingering moisture problem, it is highly
recommended that the extent of microbial growth or
Condition (1-3) to which areas of the HVAC system are
mold-contaminated be determined. It is highly
recommended that this determination be made by a
thorough assessment performed by an IEP before
starting remediation. However, in some circumstances
where Condition 3 contamination has been determined
and the entire HVAC system is located within the
contaminated area, or when the scope of work can be
determined without sampling, testing or independent IEP
inspection, then engagement of an IEP during the
preliminary determination process may not be
necessary. Further, some loss mitigation services (e.g.,
water damage restoration) may be initiated before or
while assessing conditions and/or remediation
processes (See IICRC S520
