…to sample areas less than 10sf that do not require remediation or assessment, the purpose being?
…in cases where the affected area is less than 10sf…where it’s a wipe down and move on. What would be the point of spending money to sample something that does not require assessment or remediation?
The purpose (most of the time) has to do with the real estate transaction itself (I was a REALTOR as well). A real estate transaction demands paperwork. That’s why home inspectors have to generate a report in writing. Same for mold testing. Mold testing generates a lab report in writing.
Let me wrap this up in a nice bow for everyone.
EVERYONE is exempt if the affected area is less than 10sf becuase it’s not legally a remediation OR assessment in the eyes of the law.
I’m not sure how I could put this any simpler.
You can’t hire a mold remediation specialist before you buy the home.
They don’t let you rip out walls and baseboards before you buy.
This would come after the purchase so you can make repairs. Quite common actually.
Slight change of subject here, but what if I told you that someone in your memebership doesn’t do this?
…it’s just to easy with you Wayne, it’s not even a challenge anymore.
Seen people like you come and go. You’re no different.
Email me.
I have 32,000+ members, 13,000+ in North America alone, 2,000+ in Florida. You can probably find one that doesn’t offer his/her mold report results in writing like he/she should.
Home inspection, you have a memeber who has admitted on this board that they do home inspections without a written report. I can’t tell you his name because that would be indiscreet…but it ryhmes with Michael Meeker…lol
Iv’e been coming and going for 32 years in Florida…you?
Then it either isn’t a home inspection or it is wrong and he should stop doing that.
49 Years
Rhymes with Meeker…:-;;:-;;
…32 years in construction, not my age.
I’m not confused, a little frustrated though.
So… I can offer mold sampling services to the public if I did not have an assessor’s license?
I gotta think this through. Again, why the hell am I paying for $1,00,000 E&O? This is NOT cheap!
I am leaning on not renewing my assessor’s license & simply do sampling only. Does this make any logical sense to anyone?
PS>> Rob, you know I love & respect ya, but I see it being over the top to call Nick a liar.
It’s frustration Marc, for some reason when you give people facts you are considered “negative” or even a “dickhead”, I’m extremely thick skinned and it takes a lot to rattle me. but, as an industry I love, it irritates me to see people given false information so frequently…even more so when you provide accurate facts and just get blasted. so is life I guess.
Nick said hi’s were exempt because he added into the law…not true…he said hi’s are exempt from mold assessement requirements…not true…it’s just one false statment after another.
As for mold testing, only in situations where it’s less than 10sf…then anyone can test for it as it’s not considered a assessment but just a “clean up on isle three”. Make no mistake, to perform mold assessment (and assessment per the law is anything larger than 10sf) you need a mold assessors license. Period!
It’s offered under the guise of a “CGC consult”.
BS!!
It is in direct violation of the law.
You take $$, you deliver a written product to the consumer!
How long can something like this go on? :mad:
