What Is a Mold Assessment?
A mold assessment is a professional investigation to evaluate moisture conditions, visible microbial growth, and indoor air quality factors that may indicate a mold problem. The assessor documents findings and may recommend sampling, interpretation, and remediation steps.
How to Conduct a Mold Assessment
Conduct a mold assessment by defining scope, reviewing property history, performing visual and moisture inspection, documenting affected areas, collecting samples when warranted, interpreting lab results, identifying moisture sources, and preparing written recommendations.
Mold Assessment Checklist
Use a mold assessment checklist covering client intake, property history, visual inspection, moisture mapping, sampling decisions, photo documentation, lab coordination, interpretation, and report delivery.
What Is a Mold Assessment Report?
A Mold Assessment Report (MAR) documents the assessor's investigation, findings, interpretation, and recommendations. NORMI defines an MAR as the document prepared by an indoor mold assessor that interprets the investigation and draws conclusions regarding recommendations.
