Remediation:
Because our total focus is on accurate, reliable testing procedures, we can provide you with an answer concerning whether remediation is required. If needed, we are happy to assist you with locating mold-removal providers. Toxic Consulting works closely with mold remediation companies nationwide as a provider of mold clearance testing services.Bona fide mold remediation contractors would base their decontamination and disposal recommendations on the following:
- Genus of mold discovered
- Extent of the contamination
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning contamination
- Sensitivity of occupants (some suffer from severe allergies or asthma)
