Default Re: What's your opinion...

In Texas there is no license for IAQ consulting and really none for IAQ testing. However, if you are testing for mold, lead, etc. then you are violating Texas State Department Of State Health Services licensing laws.

Anyone in Texas can perform remediation of mold in areas less than 25 Sq. Ft. However, again if, for a fee or a consultant, you are making a specific call as to the existence of mold then you are again required to be licensed.

Having said that I would have to question, at least in Texas, the value of attempting to market and provide any service based around this concept. If you run a cleaning service already then this might be an eye catcher or draw for those with phobias for germs. Otherwise, you risk crossing that not so gray line controlled by TSDHS.

Bio-shield is sold at Enviromental Solutions, It is just like the other anti microbial growth products on market. Microbes will not grow on it. For example applying it to hand rails to keep them sanitary, items that people touch thousands of times a day is one use.
Fogging after remediation to sheild the area from further contamination. But the remediation still needs done the same.
There are a lot of these type products out there in market.
