Mold Testing
Professional mold testing combines air sampling and surface swabs analyzed by certified labs.

Reports include remediation guidance from certified specialists while maintaining strict chain-of-custody protocols.
Well Testing
We conduct comprehensive well water testing for contaminants including coliform bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals. Our assessment includes flow rate measurements and water quality analysis using accredited lab services, providing critical information for real estate transactions and household safety.

Infrared thermography detects hidden moisture and energy loss by identifying temperature differentials. This non-invasive technology reveals insulation gaps, air leaks, and moisture intrusion points that conventional inspections might miss, supporting targeted energy efficiency improvements.
