FDP Mold Remediation of Baltimore Adopts IICRC S520-Based Protocols to Raise Mold Safety Standards in Maryland Homes

FDP Mold Remediation has adopted remediation protocols based on the IICRC S520 Standard for residential mold removal across Maryland. The update standardizes containment, material removal, and cleanup practices, helping reduce cross-contamination and improve safety during mold remediation in occupied homes.
- Baltimore, MD (1888PressRelease) December 22, 2025 - FDP Mold Remediation of Baltimore announced that it has formally adopted remediation protocols based on the IICRC S520 Standard, a nationally recognized guideline for professional mold remediation. The move applies to residential mold remediation projects across Maryland and reflects a growing emphasis on safety, containment, and consistency in how mold is removed from occupied homes.
The IICRC S520 Standard outlines best practices for mold remediation, including proper containment, source removal, cleaning procedures, and post-remediation verification steps. By aligning its internal procedures with this standard, FDP Mold Remediation aims to ensure that mold removal projects are conducted in a way that minimizes cross-contamination and reduces unnecessary exposure for occupants.
Maryland's humid climate and older housing stock contribute to frequent mold issues, particularly in basements, crawl spaces, and wall cavities. Improper handling of mold can lead to further spread, property damage, and potential health concerns. The adoption of S520-based protocols helps address these risks by standardizing how affected materials are removed, how work areas are isolated, and how cleanup is completed.
According to Jose Calderon, a mold remediation specialist with FDP Mold Remediation of Baltimore, following the S520 framework provides a clear structure for remediation work. "The standard gives technicians a consistent approach to containment, material handling, and cleanup. That consistency is important when working in lived-in homes where safety and control matter," Calderon said.
The updated protocols emphasize the physical removal of contaminated materials, the establishment of controlled work zones, and the use of appropriate filtration equipment during remediation activities. These measures are designed to limit the spread of mold spores beyond the affected area and support safer project outcomes.
