Mould

Mould is a type of fungi that requires a food source (such as drywall, wood or other building materials) and grows in moist conditions, usually away from direct sunlight. The growth of mould in a building has been linked to a wide range of health problems from minor to serious.Mould

Mould and fungi have become a serious issue in our industry. When mould growth occurs in buildings, some building occupants, particularly those with allergies or respiratory problems, may report health problems. The amount and source of mould is determined first. Remediation may mean removing affected wall material, fabric carpet and in some cases other building materials. This work is carried out under containment to protect the indoor environment during remediation. Exposed building areas are then cleaned and disinfected.

The good news is that with today’s technology and equipment, remediation can be done cost effectively and efficiently. MouldIn December 2003, the Institute of Inspection Cleaning & Restoration released the latest Standards and Reference Guide for Professional Mould Remediation - S520.

**IICRC S520 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation - 12/2003
The S520 is a procedural standard and reference guide for the remediation of mold damaged structures and contents. The S520 is based on reliable remediation and restoration principles, research and practical experience, and attempts to combine essential academic principles with practical elements of water damage restoration for technicians facing “real-life” mold remediation challenges. The S520 is written for use by those involved in the mold remediation industry, and is the result of collaboration among microbiologists and other scientists, public health professionals, industrial hygienists, remediation contractors. restoration service companies, cleaning and restoration training schools, trade associations that service the professional restoration industry, allied trade-persons, and others with related professional and practical experience.
