Safety and compliance points:

1. Mold licensing: State mold licensing rules vary by jurisdiction, so confirm whether assessment or remediation work requires a credential.

2. Building codes: The International Building Code applies only as adopted locally, which can affect reconstruction after material removal.

4. Contaminated projects: Replace filters after Category 3 water work, and keep affected materials separated from clean areas during removal.
