Mold Assessments
Shield Guard Home Inspections can provide a detailed mold assessment through Albany Mold LLC. During the process of a home inspection mold may be found. A licensed New York State mold assessor is required to provide a mold assessment first. The mold assessment is provided the second party involved in the mold remediation process which is a NYS Licensed mold remediator. The mold remediation company provide a work plan based on our mold assessment. After the mold remediation company remediates the mold a mold clearance letter will be requested from the mold assessor. Only if the mold remdiation was carried out in accordance with our mold assessment will we issue a mold clearance letter. If the mold remediation process was not carried out in accorance to our mold assessment we will not issue a mold clearance.
