Mold Inspection
Our certified inspectors conduct comprehensive mold assessments using specialized equipment to detect hidden moisture sources. We collect air and surface samples for laboratory analysis, providing detailed reports that identify mold types and spore concentrations. This service helps homeowners understand potential health risks and property damage while offering documentation for real estate transactions.
Lab Testing
We partner with accredited laboratories to analyze collected samples for mold species and spore counts. The reports include health risk assessments and comparisons between indoor and outdoor air quality. This scientific approach ensures accurate identification of toxic mold strains and helps determine appropriate remediation measures when necessary.
Mildew Removal
Our remediation process includes containment, spore elimination, and moisture control solutions. We address both visible and hidden mildew growth while providing post-remediation verification. The service focuses on long-term prevention through ventilation improvements and structural repairs to maintain indoor air quality and property integrity.
Pre-Sale Inspection
This service helps homeowners identify mold issues before listing properties. Early detection prevents transaction delays during escrow periods and protects sellers from potential liability. Our reports provide documentation that satisfies buyer requirements while maintaining property value through proactive disclosure.

We conduct inspections for rental property disputes involving mold claims. Our documentation meets legal requirements for code enforcement and tenant rights. The service includes moisture source identification and health risk assessments to resolve disputes while protecting both property owners and renters.
