Microbial and mold testing
We specialize in mold testing and microbial testing investigations, project design, and remediation strategies.

While it is possible to visibly see mold on a surface or smell mold in the air, it is not possible to know what’s going on. Just because you are seeing or smelling the mold does not indicate the spores have become airborne. When molds become aerosolized (airborne) the issue becomes much greater because there are then potential personal injury implications as well as substantial contents cleaning recommendations which will need to be followed to remediate the structure.
A visual inspection is an important first step in any microbial investigation. Unfortunately, molds thrive in environments where there is a lack of ventilation such as in wall cavities, sub floors, beneath wall and floor coverings, behind vapor barriers, and above ceiling tiles. Therefore, when microbial growth is suspected it is critical to investigate all areas thoroughly for potential moisture impact.
We will develop a remediation plan that details the method, scope, time, and controls that should be used.
All items/materials that can be cleaned should be itemized, along with the cleaning method that will be used.
Impacted items need to be removed under negative pressure containment, in a way that doesn't contaminate clean areas.
At the end of the project, visual acceptance and clearance sampling should be performed to ensure areas are safe.
Having the same company do mold remediation and the post-project air quality report is a little like taking a test then checking your own work. We can provide you with a fast, independent validation of your home’s air quality. Our owner’s nose is the best in the business, too. He can find things that others miss! You can sleep better at night knowing your home’s air quality is healthier.
