Training Statement

Review performed by Michael Buettner, RespirCare Analytical Review Coordinator:

I have personally verified the training and certifications held by Arizona's Restoration Experts, LLC personnel. Based on this information and my subsequent interviews, I do hereby confirm that Arizona's Restoration Experts, LLC personnel understand the proper inspection procedures and sampling techniques to be used while performing mold inspections and IEQ investigations. Additionally, these investigators have demonstrated that they are fully capable of utilizing correct Indoor Environmental Standards Organization (IESO) procedures during their inspections. These procedures are as follows:

- The inspector followed standardized procedures to be used for the evaluation and characterization of suspected mold colonization on a surface.

- The purpose of surface sample collection was to evaluate whether a suspected stain, discoloration, blemish, or other irregular appearance on a surface is mold.

- The purpose of air sample collection is to identify visible and accessible conditions suitable for air sampling in order to determine if any identified surface mold(s) can be identified in indoor airborne mold samples and that, in the judgment of the sample collector, may warrant further evaluation that may include additional sampling and/or referral to other appropriate specialists for further evaluation and actions.

- The inspector followed standardized procedures to be used for the inspection of an individual structure for moisture intrusion and possible mold growth.

- The inspection was a limited, visual, non-invasive inspection of the structure and conditions present at the time of inspection. The visual inspection was supported with subsequent sample collection and data interpretation, to identify potential sources of moisture and/or mold growth.
