Mold Inspections
Our certified mold inspections combine visual assessments with advanced sampling techniques to detect hidden mold growth. Using moisture meters and thermal imaging, we identify moisture sources and contamination in attics, basements, and HVAC systems. Reports include detailed findings and remediation recommendations following ANSI/IICRC S520 standards.
Air Quality Testing
We analyze indoor air for allergens, mold spores, and contaminants using EPA-recommended protocols. Testing identifies asthma triggers and health risks from volatile organic compounds, dust mites, and microbial pollutants. Results guide targeted solutions for residential and commercial spaces.
Allergy Sanitizing
Professional allergy sanitizing eliminates mold, dust mites, and pet dander from carpets, HVAC systems, and surfaces. Our HEPA filtration and antimicrobial treatments reduce asthma triggers while improving overall indoor air quality for sensitive individuals.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal infrared camera detects hidden moisture and heat loss in walls, roofs, and foundations. This non-invasive technology identifies water intrusion sources and energy inefficiencies without destructive testing, enabling precise remediation planning.
Mold Remediation Verification
We conduct independent verification testing after mold removal to ensure compliance with industry standards. Air and surface sampling confirms successful remediation, providing documentation for property transactions and insurance claims.
