Episode notes
Three Pillars Of Effective Remediation
- Mold remediation requires addressing colonization, the opportunity for growth, and contamination simultaneously.
- Michael Rubino says many companies only remove materials and spray chemicals, which is insufficient.
Stop Water Intrusion First
- Stop the water source first before repairing or cleaning areas affected by mold.
- Fixing the opportunity for mold to grow prevents costly recontamination and repeat repairs.
Tie Guarantees To Specific Tests
- Use the test method you want to guarantee against and set clear pass/fail parameters.
- Rubino guarantees removal relative to the specific tests (e.g., mycotoxins or MSQPCR) used for validation.
