As a trained and certified Indoor Air Quality Association professionals we are qualified to investigate and solve your indoor air quality problems. Each indoor air environment is evaluated for potential allergy & asthma triggers. All inspections begin with an interview of the occupants, called the IAQ/Mold Assessment Interview. Valuable information about the subject property's history and the occupants' symptoms/illnesses can be obtained during this phase.

An Interior/Exterior Building Inspection is the next step in determining the sources of indoor air pollution problems. This is an inspection of readily accessible areas of the building; usually including the attic and crawl space and/or basement. Inside interior walls and ceilings, inside ductwork and behind and under appliances and furniture are usually not included in this inspection. The infrared thermographic camera is used in all inspections to locate any hidden water leakage, which could be the source of mold & fungi growths. 

The next step of the IAQ/Mold Inspection is the Advanced Mold Assessment Sampling. Viable (living) air and surface samples are collected and sent to a certified lab to be analyzed for presence of any microbial contaminants. The sampling test results received from the lab can indicate the type and amount of mold & fungi found during our inspection.

The inspection and sampling analysis information is used to develope the best solution to improve the indoor air quality. In most cases a Sanitization/Purification Protocol will quickly improve the indoor air quality. This includes air purification equipment and employing best practice and "greenbuilding"  principles which reduce indoor air/mold contaminants, bacteria and pathogens on surfaces and in the air. This is  the usually the least expensive and most successful long-term solution.

In cases where the mold growths are on building materials which must be removed, an approved remediation company is recommended. An Infrared Thermographic Imager is used to accurately find the location of water entry; without needlessly damaging roof, ceiling, wall materials and the foundation. Once indentified, only the wet-damaged building materials need be removed. All surfaces that are dry or can be dried are sprayed to kill molds, bacteria and pathogens. Test samples are taken before (pre) and after (post) treatments to ensure that all specific identified mold species were killed with the proper biocide application.

An IAQ/MOLD IINSPECTION REPORT is included with all jobs. All components of each inspection, the test sample lab results, and the recommended corrective solutions are clearly explained for each specific indoor air quality/mold problem found for each indoor air environment assessed. All lab results are certified and docuemented to ensure that the proper samples are submitted for the correct building address.
