Quick Tips:

1. Before hiring any service company familiarize yourself with the EPA Guidelines.

2. Who should do the cleanup depends on a number of factors. One consideration is the size of the mold problem. If the moldy area is less than about 10 square feet (less than roughly a 3 ft. by 3 ft. patch), in most cases, you can handle the job yourself, following the guideline information from the EPA.

3. The key factor in selecting a company to provide assessment or remediation / abatement is experience. Has the service provider actually performed or supervised a variety of remediations, including attics, basements, and water damage restorations?

Other key criteria to look for include:

- Overall indoor air quality experience, not limited to just mold

- Industry Certification specifically for mold and water restoration

- Recognized by insurance companies for mold remediation

- General liability coverage specifically for mold
