The most basic rules of remediation for low funds

[Guest guest]

All,

I had a conversation wiht KC and decided to post this info so people

can have some minimal and useful information.

1) If you can't get good testing done before and after remediation,

at least specify the environmental must be dust free. This is one

way to check for physical removal techniques.

2) Get the insurance certificates of any consultants or contractors

before any final payments are given.

3) Do not let a contractor write a scope of work or remediation

plan and/or pretest unless they can show professional (errors &

ommisions) insurance. The same goes for consultants.

4) Do not let any contractor paint or seal anything until they have

satisfied post testing requirements. Covering mold/bacteria with

paint is not remediation.

5) Buy Bob s's book on post remediation verification and get

my wording for post testing goals for contracts signed before any

remediation work begins. Indoor/outdoor comparisons are BS. (BS is

short for BAD SCIENCE or something that may get censored.)

6) The contractor must not charge for any additional cleaning or

testing if they fail the first post test.

7) Do not listen to govenment officials about pretesting and post

testing because those FOOLS do not pay my insurance and will not be

there to defend me inh civil court. I'm sorry if I seem short but,

those G-men to to go pound sand when they ignore the fact reputable

contractors and consultants have standard operating procedures

required by thier insurance carriers if they want their policies to

be in effect (just like the customers want it too).

8) Biocides are a wonderful thing when used correctly.

9) Every method or procedure for remediation is for the goal

of " physical removal " . I use a biocide. I even use a misting or

fogging technique wiht this biocide. I can let a person test behind

me by qPCR testing. This test verifies I am using " physical

removal " .

(I really don't want to hear anyone's whining about my methods until

they can pass by qPCR with very sick people. Anyone who thinks they

can do better, do the test and prove it with sick people before you

rant on this chatboard. I'll have human health data in the future.)

10) Misting water or soapy water will not clean the air since the

water will evaporate very fast. Bleach water also has this problem

for a misting agent.
