In this episode, I’m interviewing my good friend and premier trainer of mold remediation Michael Pinto to discuss the ERMI and HERTSMI mold lab tests, their level of relevancy and how these tests actually work.

Michael is offering his expert point of view to explain how these tests are performed and to reflect on the value of these and other sampling methods used in the mold remediation industry. 

We also talk about the importance of understanding the exact role of each one of these methods and having the capacity to develop a sampling plan to maximize the level of efficiency during the remediation process. 

Tune in to know everything about sampling methodology and the latest technology available in the mold remediation industry to ensure a healthy home.
