Mold Inspection
A mold inspection is a deliberate and guided inspection that focuses on locating mold and identifying the contributing factors to mold growth. This is typically performed when physical mold or physical mold generating conditions are observed which may have an adverse health impact. The purpose of this inspection is to identify the severity, type and cause of the observed condition. Information provided will allow the client to make informed decisions on mold mitigation lengths and corrective actions to reduce future mold growth.
Air Quality Sampling
Air quality sampling is a controlled gathering of air from within and outside the home to determine if the mold types and levels are similar. Older homes and homes that have the HVAC air handler located in a crawl space will benefit from this type of sampling. The purpose of this inspection is to identify if any hidden conditions may exist that can contribute to allergen reactions. Information provided will allow the client to make informed decisions regarding the necessity of common HVAC equipment and duct cleaning or crawl space cleanup.
Damage Assessment Inspection
