Independent scope and protocol that keeps remediation on track.

The short answer

A mold remediation protocol is a written scope of work that defines exactly what a remediation contractor must do — affected materials, containment, engineering controls, cleaning methods, and clearance criteria. Because we never remediate, the protocol is contractor-neutral and bid-ready.

Triggers

You may need this service if…

  • Signal 01

    Insurance carrier or adjuster requires a written protocol

  • Signal 02

Scope

What's included

  • Defined work areas with photo documentation
  • Containment, negative-air and PPE requirements
  • Material removal limits and cleaning methods
  • Clearance criteria for post-remediation verification
  • Compliance with ANSI/IICRC S520 and Florida licensing law

Method

How it works

  1. 1

    Step 01

    Site assessment

    We document conditions, moisture source and affected materials.

  2. 2

    Step 02

    Protocol drafting

    A specific, biddable scope of work that contractors can price apples-to-apples.

  3. 3

    Step 03

    Bid review (optional)

    We help you evaluate bids against the written protocol.

  4. 4

    Step 04

    Independent verification

    After remediation, we return for post-remediation verification — a separate engagement.

What you receive

A written mold remediation protocol referencing ANSI/IICRC S520 — ready to send to remediation contractors for bidding, and defensible if the project is later reviewed by an insurer, attorney or regulator.

FAQs

Remediation Protocol — common questions

What is a mold remediation protocol and why do I need one in Florida?

A mold remediation protocol is a written, contractor-neutral scope of work defining exactly what a remediator must do — containment, materials to remove, cleaning methods, and clearance criteria. Florida law requires the assessor and remediator to be different companies, which is why owners hire us to write the protocol independently.

How much does a mold remediation protocol cost?

Most residential protocols in Florida fall between $600 and $1,500, depending on the size and complexity of the affected area. Commercial protocols are scoped individually.

Why hire a separate firm to write the protocol?

Florida law requires separation between mold assessors and mold remediators on the same project. An independent protocol prevents the contractor from defining the scope of their own work.

Can my remediator follow your protocol?

Yes. The protocol is intentionally contractor-neutral — any licensed Florida mold remediator can execute it.

Do you supervise the remediation?

We do not run the remediation. We can perform interim inspections and the post-remediation verification, both as independent engagements.
