Mold Inspections
Our mold inspections utilize moisture meters, humidity sensors, and air sampling at 15 liters per minute to detect hidden mold growth. Certified technicians collect samples analyzed by AIHA-accredited labs, providing detailed reports on mold types, toxicity levels, and remediation recommendations while following IESO standards for accurate assessment.
Lead Testing
We conduct comprehensive lead-based paint inspections using XRF analyzers and dust wipe sampling. Certified inspectors identify hazardous materials in pre-1978 housing units, providing risk assessments and clearance inspections that comply with HUD guidelines and California Health & Safety Code requirements for residential safety.
Asbestos Surveys
Our asbestos surveys involve bulk sampling of suspect materials and air quality testing during abatement projects. Certified consultants follow SCAQMD Procedure 5 standards, delivering real-time on-site clearance results while adhering to Cal/OSHA certification requirements for accurate hazard identification and management.
Bacteria Testing
We test for fecal contamination indicators like E. coli and Enterococcus following water damage incidents. Using membrane filtration methods, our technicians assess bacterial levels in flood-affected areas, providing pre- and post-remediation clearance testing with 3-day lab turnaround to ensure occupant safety.
Allergen Sampling
Our allergen testing quantifies cat/dog dander, dust mites, and cockroach proteins in indoor environments. Using ELISA analysis, we measure specific allergens like Fel d1 and Bla g1 to help allergy sufferers understand contamination levels and implement effective mitigation strategies for improved indoor air quality.
