Mold Assessor / Remediator

Mold assessors inspect buildings for mold contamination and create remediation protocols; mold remediators physically remove mold-affected materials and restore properties to safe condition. Florida's warm, humid climate — ideal for mold growth — combined with an active hurricane season that floods homes and businesses, makes mold assessment and remediation a uniquely high-demand trade in the state.
