Mold Remediation in Tennessee

Mold remediation is an unregulated industry in Tennessee, meaning anyone can claim expertise without legal oversight. Proper mold removal requires specialized training and equipment, so choosing a qualified contractor is critical.

T.A.C.T. MT is certified by the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI), a nonprofit focused on mold and indoor environmental health. NORMI certifications emphasize mold assessment, remediation, and indoor air quality (IAQ), ensuring we meet rigorous standards.

NORMI vs. IICRC

While the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) is widely recognized, its scope spans water, fire, and smoke restoration, with mold as one of many focuses. NORMI, however, specializes exclusively in mold-related issues. NORMI requires 20 hours of annual training to maintain certification, compared to IICRC’s 14 hours every 4 years, reflecting a deeper commitment to mold expertise.

Why Mold Testing is Essential

Mold often hides behind walls, under flooring, in HVAC systems, or in attics and basements. Without professional testing, you may not realize the extent of a problem until it causes significant harm. Our services help:

✔ Identify hidden mold before it spreads

✔ Determine mold types, including toxic "black mold" (Stachybotrys)

✔ Assess air quality and health risks

✔ Locate moisture sources fueling mold growth

✔ Provide detailed remediation recommendations
