^ Re: New member - mold remediation issue

[Guest guest]

Ms. Rosen,

Who is the insurance company?

What is the remediation protocol?

What is the post testing criteria? (maybe the testing criteria is

wrong or misguided)

Do you have the CGL and Pollution insurance certifactes for the

contractor? (Extremely important)

Do you have the Professional insurance certificate for the

consultant performing evaluations?(Extremely important)

Was any pretesting done to assess how far the problem travelled?

(Aspergillus and Penicillium are active spore releasers which means

they do not need wind, rain or insects to travel.)

What products are they attempting to use?

Why isn't the basement covered?

Don't assume the insurance adjuster is correct.

I can help you if you can give me some detail. It sounds like they

are using the EPA Remediation in Schools and Public Buildings. This

guidline from the EPA is well intended but has major holes. It is

an amalgamation of the NYC Guidelines (2000) and the

ACGIH " Bioaerosols: Assessment and Control (1999).

This information would be very helpful for everyone since there is

too much hidden in these insurance situations.
