Customer called me to inspect and quote a job after their contractor failed clearance testing. At first, I was actually glad to see the area at least contained — and honestly, containment doesn’t have to look pretty. As long as it serves its purpose, that part can be okay.
But the longer I looked at the work, the more obvious it became that whoever performed this remediation had absolutely no understanding of what actually needs to be done on a mold job.
And this is not some complex medical/CIRS project. This is a basic water damage and mold remediation job. Even by standard water damage industry expectations, this is poor quality work.
You can judge for yourself in the video.
If the company or technician who performed this work sees this post, call me. Seriously. I’ll gladly explain what was done wrong and even show you how to do it properly. There’s nothing wrong with making mistakes or not knowing something — everybody learns. What’s not okay is doing this kind of work carelessly, without understanding the consequences, especially when families, kids, and someone’s property are involved.
This industry needs more education, accountability, and pride in workmanship
