Mold Inspection
Our comprehensive mold inspections use infrared imaging and moisture testing to identify hidden mold sources. We conduct visual assessments and air quality sampling to determine contamination levels. Reports include detailed findings with remediation recommendations for residential and commercial properties.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
We test for mold spores, VOCs, and allergens using specialized air sampling equipment. Our lab-certified analysis identifies airborne contaminants affecting health. Results guide targeted remediation strategies to improve indoor environments in homes and businesses.
Mold Remediation Protocols
We develop customized remediation plans following industry standards. Our protocols specify containment methods, removal procedures, and post-remediation verification. These guidelines ensure safe, effective mold elimination while preventing cross-contamination during cleanup.
