Mold Inspection
Home Mold Inspection
Mold inspection is a procedure involving the examination of a place to detect the presence of harmful mold. Mold spores are tiny thus invisible to the eye. Once they get favorable growth conditions, they start growing and flourishing within 48 hours. They can even grow to places that you cannot reach or are not visible, like a leaky pipe present inside a wall, beneath the moist tiles, etc. That is why a regular mold inspection is essential to make sure you are not breathing unhealthy mold spores.
During the examination, an inspector will look for the areas or places at risk for mold. Even if you do not have mold at home, a timely mold inspection can prevent costly damage. Similarly, if mold is present, then locating it will help you prevent its spread. Staying in an environment having mold spores can make you feel sick. It can make your throat scratchy, cause headaches or allergies. It can even aggravate chronic conditions like asthma.
Our mold inspectors help people create a safe, healthy, and mold-free environment. We use advanced techniques and equipment to do a complete inspection. Don’t neglect a mold issue as it may become a cause of costly damage tomorrow.

After source identification, mold removal methods are suggested. In these methods, affected areas are cleaned, and non-affected regions are protected from mold exposure.
We will perform visibility tests to make sure no mold is left behind. If the material is damaged during this process, it will be replaced with a material that is not as attractive for the mold. Each mold case requires a different plan that must be followed as it is to make sure all mold has been treated well and there is close to no chance of its reappearance.

Moisture Investigation
Mold Prevention and Detection
We all have always heard “prevention is better than cure,” well, it suits every mold situation, so right. If you get rid of the site that is expected to cause mold growth, you will be able to save your home from future mold growth and predictable damage. Moisture is every mold’s favorite item. It will start growing in a moisture-rich area as soon as it lands on it.
Moisture investigation is a process that determines the cause of high moisture levels. You can remove that source and prevent mold growth. Roofs, pipes, drainage systems, kitchen sink, and similar places are checked thoroughly because these are the most common sites where mold grows. Tools like moisture meter or thermal cameras are used to detect the moisture level in hidden and visible places. If there is a high moisture level, then we will recommend a proper solution.
Our mold inspectors use premium tools to investigate moisture present at various sites. They first check the most common areas and then other places as well. After identifying the problem, they will inform you of the issue and help you tackle it well!

LEED V4, V4.1 Assessment
IAQ USGBC Indoor Air Assessment
LEED V4, and V4.1 testing is an advanced and valuable technique used to check if a building follows green building measures or not. It determines if your building is healthy enough to live or not. In LEED testing, the presence of harmful elements such as ozone, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, etc., is detected in the air.
Construction materials can emit these elements if certified material or techniques are not used. They are also present in many everyday items. If those items are used several times in a day, then harmful gases can build in your surroundings. Continuous exposure to these elements can cause health issues. That is why if you are a hair salon owner, have a retail building, or school, etc., then get the air quality checked regularly to make sure it is safe for the people.
