Is a "mold free" certification needed post flood?

So you are saying don't sweat it?

Spray it yourself. It's easy.

Correct. There is no such thing that is legally backed by mold licensure at the state or federal level.

This movement is as trendy as radon inspections. It's to housing what the Food Babe Army is to food.

I've read about concrobium but I've never used it.

It is EPA registered, which is noteworthy.

Foster 40-80 disinfectant and Foster 40-20 fungicidal coating are the two products I've used in my 13 years of mold remediation.

They work very well and are quite cost effective.

There are mold spores in the air, especially in south Louisiana all the time. If you have a wet towel and hang it on a hook, does it mold grow? How about if you take that towel and ball it up and throw it in a closet?

What is the difference the amount of time the towel was wet. Mold needs the right conditions to grow and if they exist then it does. Remove the moisture and the mold ends. It doesn't jump around in an air conditioned house if the moisture is not present...

I may be in the minority here, but I can see people asking for proof of drying and mold remediation when buying a home that flooded in 2016. Not a mold free certificate, but proof people in flood zone X properly dried and treated the home. There may be many doing it as cheap as possible. Now, that being said, you could have an air test done at selling that measu red the air born particles for a few hundred bucks.

Anyone have experience here or can shed any light?

they treat it like its radioactivity or asbestos.

experts have to come and test your damn maybe-mold.

it makes sense though. so many people are susceptible to mold.

There is no state or federal licensure for mold inspectors.

Just to clear up any confusion...there is state licensure for mold remediation. For any mold remediation project over $1 in value, the person conducting the mold remediation must be specially licensed by the contractors' board.

Don't know about mold inspectors, which is what was mentioned in the quote. Just wanted to make sure people make the distinction.

In either case, everything I've seen thus far indicates that mold remediation is absolutely something that you can do yourself...I guess unless the circumstances are pretty extreme.
