Our microbial inspections are thorough, detailed, and performed promptly from the scheduled home visit appointment to the delivery of your report. Striving to serve you in a courteous and professional manner, we are adamant in conducting our mold inspections with the care and concern as if it were our own home. The following points are provided as a foresight to make your mold inspection as seamless as possible:

Types of Structures Inspected
• Single family residences
• Condominiums
• Apartment Buildings
• Duplex and Triplex buildings
• Commercial buildings

Inspection Services Offered
• Full Inspection – includes all interior rooms and the immediate
exterior walls.
• Limited Inspection – narrows the inspection to include up to
three rooms.
• Post-remediation Inspection and Sampling – this inspection
seeks to verify that the remediated areas no longer contain
a mold presence.
• Sample Only – services limited to procuring mold samples only.

Types of Samples
• Ambient Air – air samples take in 15 liters of ambient air per
minute. Air samples help assess the level of indoor mold
exposure to humans and detect whether spore aerosolization
is occurring.
• Swab/Tape – a culturette swab or tape imprint is applied directly
onto a surface with a mold-like substance to help assess whether
it actually is mold growing and what types of mold are present
• Wall Cavity – an air sample of 7.5 liters is taken from within a
wall’s cavity via an extension tube (pen-sized width) connected to
the air sampling device, providing a more precise analysis and
detection of potential mold growth otherwise inaccessible to ambient
air, swab, or tape sampling
The following points are provided as a foresight to make your mold inspection as seamless as possible:

•The initial client relationship commences over the phone, whereby we learn about your mold concerns and you learn more about our services. After an overview of the situation, we will ask you some more specific questions such as square footage followed by scheduling a day and time which is at your best convenience.

• After arriving onsite promptly and introducing ourselves, we will reiterate the inspection process and present you a hard copy paper file of our engagement contract.

• The stage is now ready for the initial inspection process. Digital images of preventative maintenance and suspect conditions areas will be taken in addition to the use of moisture meters and humidity identification devices. The inspection is as thorough as possible, with the aim to assess the presence of mold growth, how it originated, and how it can be prevented in the future.

• Following the initial inspection process, we will present our findings with you. In areas where suspect conditions are observed, we will recommend air sampling and/or swab sampling. These two sampling types are in turn sent to an AIHA-certified laboratory, wherein they will be analyzed and the results promptly dispatched.

• If sampling is chosen, the samples will be safely packed, accompanied with a chain of custody and mailed in a timely manner. Following any sampling measures, we will thank you for your time and inform you of the timetable of receiving the sample results.

• As soon as the lab findings are received, we will send you a PDF file copy via email in addition to reviewing the results with you over the phone. If remediation is necessary, we will recommend different mold remediation companies to
you at this time.

• Finally, a hard copy color report is generated for you and sent to your domicile address of choice.
