What is a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation in Texas?
Answer
It's the Texas document that closes out a licensed mold remediation. Within 10 days after finishing, the remediator must give the property owner a certificate that includes a licensed assessor's statement that the mold identified for the project was remediated as the protocol required. If the assessor finds the underlying cause has also been fixed, the certificate says so.
It matters later in two ways. A seller must give the buyer copies of every certificate issued for the property in the five years before the sale. And an owner isn't liable for damages related to mold remediation that accrued on or before the date a certificate was issued.
