Why It’s Important to Hire IICRC-Certified Mold Remediation Pros

Mold remediation is not a DIY job. The IICRC S520 standard outlines the detailed procedures and safety measures required for effective mold cleanup. At T.A.C.T., our team follows this mold removal guide to the letter, which means:

• We contain the affected area to prevent mold cross-contamination
• We use proper PPE and HEPA filtration systems to remove airborne mold spores
• We identify and eliminate moisture sources to stop mold regrowth
• We perform post-remediation evaluation to confirm the mold problem is resolved

Hiring an IICRC-certified mold removal company like T.A.C.T. ensures you're working with trained professionals who are held to the highest standards of safety, effectiveness, and ethics.

IICRC-Certified vs. Uncertified Mold Remediation Companies

Not all mold remediation companies are created equal. Here's how an IICRC-certified company like T.A.C.T. compares to an uncertified contractor:

IICRC-Certified Company (T.A.C.T. Detroit):

• Follows the ANSI/IICRC S520 standard for professional mold remediation
• Uses certified technicians trained in mold inspection, containment, and removal
• Utilizes proper containment methods and HEPA filtration
• Ensures all technicians wear industry-approved PPE
• Identifies and resolves the source of moisture to prevent future growth
• Offers documentation, transparency, and post-remediation verification
• Maintains full compliance with OSHA safety regulations and industry ethics

Uncertified Mold Contractor:

• May rely on bleach or surface cleaners that don’t solve the underlying problem
• Often skips proper containment, risking cross-contamination
• Typically lacks industry training or formal mold remediation certification
• Rarely follows standardized procedures or provides documentation
• May leave moisture issues unaddressed, leading to mold returning
• Can put your property and health at risk due to improper practices

Choosing a certified company means you’re getting thorough, responsible service from professionals who know what they’re doing.

How Mold Affects Your Health

According to the IICRC and health experts, mold exposure can have serious health consequences, especially for people with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems. Mold-related symptoms can include:

• Sneezing and coughing – Inhaling mold spores can irritate your nose and throat, leading to persistent sneezing or a dry, nagging cough.
• Asthma attacks – Mold can be a powerful asthma trigger. Exposure may cause flare-ups, wheezing, or shortness of breath, especially in children or elderly individuals.
• Itchy eyes and skin irritation – Mold spores can cause allergic reactions, resulting in red, itchy eyes or skin rashes, particularly when touched or when spores are in the air.
• Chronic sinus issues – Continued mold exposure can lead to nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and recurrent sinus infections that don’t respond well to standard treatments.
• Fatigue and brain fog – Prolonged exposure may contribute to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and trouble concentrating — often called “mold brain fog.”

That’s why every mold remediation job we take on starts with a proper mold inspection and ends with full mold containment and cleanup using IICRC-approved methods.

Common Types of Indoor Mold We Handle

We remediate a wide variety of household and commercial molds using protocols outlined by the IICRC, including:

Stachybotrys chartarum (Black Mold) – Found on wet drywall and wood, often after water damage. Known as toxic black mold.

Aspergillus – Grows in HVAC systems and on damp surfaces. Can affect indoor air quality and cause mold allergies.

Cladosporium – Found on wood and textiles. Known to cause mold-related allergy symptoms.

Penicillium – Appears on wallpaper, carpets, and insulation. Can trigger mold asthma and respiratory issues.

Alternaria – Often found in bathrooms and window frames. Known to cause asthma and mold allergy reactions.

Our IICRC-Compliant Mold Remediation Process

Here’s how we perform mold remediation according to IICRC S520 guidelines:

1. Perform a thorough mold inspection and moisture assessment
2. Establish containment zones with negative air pressure to stop mold spore spread
3. Wear appropriate PPE throughout the mold remediation
4. Safely remove mold-contaminated materials
5. Use HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers to capture airborne mold spores
6. Apply EPA-registered antimicrobial and mold removal solutions to kill and clean mold from surfaces
7. Dry and dehumidify affected areas to prevent mold regrowth
8. Conduct a final mold remediation evaluation or optional clearance testing

We also document every step of the mold cleanup job to meet industry standards and provide full transparency.

What Causes Mold Growth?

Mold only needs three things to grow: moisture, a food source, and time. Common mold causes we find in Detroit homes and buildings include:

• Plumbing leaks or roof damage causing water damage mold
• Basement flooding leading to basement mold
• Poor ventilation or exhaust systems leading to attic mold or bathroom mold
• Condensation from HVAC units leading to mold in air ducts
• Excess humidity creating mold in crawlspaces or closets

We don’t just treat mold growth — we help you solve the moisture problems that caused it, so mold doesn't come back.
