Why this source was used
The IICRC S520 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation defines the industry protocol for mold assessment and remediation: containment, negative air, removal of contaminated materials, and addressing the underlying moisture source. Mold is one of the most common concealed conditions discovered during renovation. Unlike lead and asbestos, mold remediation is less federally regulated, but the IICRC standard provides the professional practice framework that contractors and environmental consultants follow.
