Visual Inspection

A visual inspection begins on the exterior of the home. The roof, flashings, gutters, downspouts, chimneys, siding, doors and windows are all examined to identify problem areas that allow water intrusion to occur. When inspecting the living spaces of the home moisture meters, infrared cameras, and particle counters are used to identify areas where water intrusion has occurred and microbial growth maybe occurring. A written report that includes pictures, findings and recommendations are emailed to the homeowner following the inspection.

Air Sampling

If visible mold is present anywhere in the house an air sample can help determine the effect mold is having on the air you breath in the home by identifying what types and how much mold there is in the air. If visible mold is not present, an air sample can help determine the probability of microbial growth occurring in the home.

When visible mold is present surface sampling can identify the type of mold.

When visible mold is not present surface sampling can be used to determine if there may be hidden and unforeseen mold.
