We support the mold licensing.  We are a remediation firm who does not and will not do any testing because it is a conflict of interest.  We have always believed that an independent IH or IEP should do the pre-screening, provide a protocol and/or do the post remediation evaluation.  The IHs and IEPs are the best people to do that; not just a mold inspector.  They provide more than just a lab report.   We work with most of the independent IHs and IEPs.  Each of them look at the situation a little differently.  We do have to adjust to their specifics especially for the clearance test.  You do learn new things or ideas with dealing with different ones.  No one can provide a protocol and/or estimate that is complete.  There will always be hidden damages that you will find during any remediation.  The key is communication between the IHs, the remediator and the customer.   Everyone has to be in agreement before you start a project.  The potential to the find the hidden damage and additional cost have to be address to whomever is paying for the remediation.  We perform all remediation projects the same way reguardless if there is or will be testing done.  The third party evaluation confirms a remediation done well.  Most failed clearances occur because some thing was missed by the IH or the remediation company or there is an on-going problem.  As a professional, you have to admit if the problem was yours and fix the problem.  The remediation firms are the ones who have the most responsibility to not have a failed clearance.  They have to make sure that any issues or omissions have to be fixed prior to calling for a clearance test.
