Services
Mold Inspection
Our certified mold inspections use thermal imaging and direct sampling to identify hidden moisture issues and mold contamination. We perform air sampling, swab tests, and inner wall inspections to determine mold presence and concentration levels. The service includes detailed documentation of findings and remediation recommendations.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
Our IAQ testing identifies volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, and other air quality issues using laboratory analysis. The service includes pre- and post-remediation verification and helps identify sources of indoor air contamination from construction materials and environmental factors.
ERMI Testing
ERMI testing uses EPA-developed DNA analysis to identify 36 mold species in household dust samples. This quantitative method provides a mold risk index and helps assess potential health risks associated with indoor mold contamination through scientific laboratory analysis.
Thermal Imaging
Our FLIR-certified thermal imaging detects hidden moisture issues and structural defects by identifying temperature variations in building materials. The service helps locate water intrusion points, insulation deficiencies, and HVAC system issues through non-invasive infrared thermography.
Radon Gas Testing
We provide EPA-recommended radon gas testing using specialized equipment to detect this invisible, radioactive contaminant. The service includes proper placement of testing devices and laboratory analysis to determine radon concentration levels in residential and commercial properties.
