Mold Inspection
Our mold inspections use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual analysis to identify hidden mold sources and water damage. Certified professionals conduct comprehensive assessments of residential and commercial properties, focusing on high-risk areas like basements, HVAC systems, and water-damaged zones. The process includes detailed documentation and photographic evidence to create actionable remediation plans tailored to client health needs.
Mold Testing
We perform air and surface mold testing using EPA-recommended protocols, sending samples to accredited labs for analysis. Our services include ERMI testing, mycotoxin screening, and comparative sampling to identify contamination levels. Results are compiled into easy-to-understand reports with numeric spore counts and health risk assessments for informed decision-making.
Mold Remediation
Our remediation services follow strict safety protocols for eliminating mold contamination in residential and commercial spaces. We provide post-remediation verification testing, collaborate with licensed contractors, and develop customized cleanup strategies for hypersensitive clients. Services include fine particle remediation, HVAC system cleaning, and addressing complex cases involving CIRS or autoimmune conditions.
Mold Prevention
We offer preventive maintenance programs to minimize future mold risks through moisture control and environmental monitoring. Services include humidity management recommendations, building envelope assessments, and education on mold-resistant materials. Our experts provide guidance for property owners to maintain healthy indoor air quality and prevent recurring contamination issues.
ERMI Testing
ERMI testing uses EPA-developed methodology to analyze dust samples for 36 mold species, providing an objective moldiness index for buildings. This DNA-based analysis identifies hidden mold contamination patterns and helps prioritize remediation efforts. Results are interpreted alongside visual inspections to create comprehensive solutions for improving indoor air quality.
