How the inspection process works
Air Quality Samples
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Surface Swab Samples
For many homeowners, the top concern is whether mold spores are present in the air and if occupants are breathing potentially harmful or toxic particles. Professional air quality testing helps identify airborne mold spores and other particles that may pose health risks. By analyzing indoor air samples, we can detect hidden mold growth and determine if your air is safe to breathe.
Surface Swab Samples
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Surface Swab Samples
In certain situations where mold growth is visible, our licensed mold assessor may collect surface swab samples to identify the specific mold species and determine whether it is toxic. This detailed identification is valuable for creating an accurate mold assessment report, as well as providing targeted remediation recommendations in the protocol.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Thermal imaging, also known as infrared scanning, is a state-of-the-art industry standard tool that allows us to detect moisture and other underlying issues that are not visible to the naked eye. Using advanced thermal cameras, we perform comprehensive scans throughout the property to identify hidden problems, such as water intrusion or concealed mold growth, before they cause further damage.
Humidity Readings
Certified Lab Reporting
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Some mold problems are caused by elevated indoor humidity levels. We conduct thorough inspections to measure humidity throughout your property, and if high humidity is identified as a cause of mold growth, we provide effective recommendations to address and control moisture, helping prevent future mold issues.e.
Moisture Mapping
