What is a Florida Mold Assessor?  

A mold assessor is a type of contracting job in which a person must be licensed to perform the tasks of the job. In Florida, mold can easily be found anywhere due to muggy, moist, hot, and humid weather and conditions.  

 Mold is a health hazard and must be dealt with fast as it can cause people to contract breathing problems, depressions and can impair the entire human system and can possibly even lead to death. Mold can also cause severe damage to property. Some mold can be seen, but some mold is unseen, which is even more dangerous.  

Mold assessors have an important job that keep people and buildings safe.  

Mold accessors perform an assessment of mold in a property by taking a physical sample and detailed evaluation. Their detailed evaluation of the propertycomes from the building’s history and their inspection to figure out where the origin of the mold was, what kind of mold it is and what the extent of the moldremoval will be. Mold can often be a warning sign of structural issues with a building or home, as well, so these issues need to be addressed quickly by a moldaccessor. The mold accessor will address a remediation (removal) of the mold, which involves cleaning, sanitizing, demolition, and other treatments. 

 In Florida, mold assessors need to be licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation; they also need to possess a state-issued mold assessor license. The state also requires that a mold accessor meets specific educational guidelines and stay current by continuing education credits. Florida mold accessors are also required to have insurance coverage. 

Mold accessors need to stay up to date on the latest technologies, codes and approaches to mold assessment and abatement because they are constantly changing. A mold accessor is expected to take at least 14 hours of continued education every two years to keep up with changes.
