Mold Remediation — [Property Name] — [Affected Area]
Mold remediation in [area] of our [property type], approximately [X] sq ft of affected area. Source of moisture: [identified / to be investigated]. Requires containment, removal, and post-remediation clearance.
Scope of work
Scope of work: - Pre-remediation assessment with our independent IH (industrial hygienist) — bidder to coordinate. - Containment per IICRC S520: full barrier with negative-pressure HEPA filtration. - PPE for all workers per provincial standards. - Removal and disposal of all affected porous materials (drywall, insulation, carpet, etc.) per provincial regulations. - HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment of all non-porous surfaces. - Final cleaning of containment area. - Tenant communication plan (especially critical in residential). Source repair (separate scope but coordinate): - Leak / moisture source must be repaired before remediation completion. - If repair scope unknown, bidder to provide allowance. Post-remediation: - Third-party clearance testing by independent IH (not the remediation company — required for credibility). - Clearance certificate. - Rebuild scope quoted separately (or by separate contractor).
Standard requirements
- IICRC-certified mold remediation technician (or provincial equivalent). - $5M general liability insurance with mold-specific coverage. - WSIB clearance. - Compliance with provincial Ministry of Labour mold-work guidelines. - Three references for similar-size projects in the last 18 months. - Willingness to work with an independent IH (this is a deal-breaker — never use a remediation company's in-house IH for clearance).
