Verified Mold Services in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Under Florida Statute 468.8419, a mold assessor or the assessor's company may not remediate a building it assessed in the last 12 months, and a mold remediator or its company may not assess a building it remediated in the last 12 months. State-certified general, building and residential contractors are exempt. Some companies offer both services, so if one tests your home, hire a different company to do the work.

Where an assessor writes the protocol, the remediator still inspects the site, plans its own work to carry it out, and flags conditions that differ from the protocol or that it did not cover. When those are different companies, the one that diagnoses the problem does not profit from the scope it writes.
