# How to hire a mold pro

## What should I ask a mold pro before hiring?

Ask for the licence number and type, whether an independent assessor will write the protocol and check clearance, whether the moisture source will be fixed, how the area will be contained and what the written scope includes.

* What is your state licence number, and is it an assessor or remediator licence?
* Will an independent licensed assessor write the protocol and do the clearance check?
* Will you find and fix the moisture source, or only remove visible growth?
* How will you contain the work area and protect the rest of the house?
* What does the written scope include: demolition, HEPA cleaning, disposal, rebuild?
* Do you carry liability insurance that covers mold work?
* Will you work with my insurance adjuster, and do you need a signed assignment of benefits? (Read it carefully first.)
* What clearance standard or test will show the job is done?
