Services
Visual Inspection
Our certified inspectors conduct thorough visual examinations of properties to identify water damage indicators and potential mold growth areas. Using industry-standard protocols, we document all findings with photographic evidence and detailed notes. This initial assessment forms the foundation for subsequent testing and moisture analysis.
Air Sampling
We collect air samples from both indoor and outdoor environments to compare mold spore concentrations. Using calibrated equipment, we analyze airborne particles to identify specific mold species and quantify contamination levels. This scientific approach helps determine whether indoor mold levels exceed normal environmental baselines.
Moisture Measurement
Our moisture assessment combines thermal imaging and direct moisture meter readings to detect hidden water intrusion. This dual-method approach identifies elevated moisture levels in building materials that could support mold growth. We provide precise humidity measurements and thermal pattern documentation to support our findings.
Swab Sampling
When visible mold growth is present, we collect swab samples for laboratory analysis. This method identifies specific mold species and determines contamination extent. Our sampling protocol follows strict chain-of-custody procedures to ensure defensible results for both residential and commercial clients.
Remediation Scope
When mold issues are confirmed, we develop detailed remediation scopes outlining required work. Our specifications include containment requirements, personal protective equipment guidelines, and specific remediation procedures. This document ensures clients receive targeted treatment without unnecessary work or costs.
