Molds can be found anywhere, as long as moisture and a food source is present. While not all molds are toxic, recent research shows an alarming rate of harmful fungal species in poorly maintained homes or buildings with water damage, moisture or high humidity levels.

We are experienced Mold Assessors who know how to identify mold infestations through visual means as well as testing tools. Our professional equipment and experienced eye can identify the signs of a new mold contamination, an existing and dangerous mold problem, and a potential future mold risk.

DOES YOUR HOME OR BUILDING PROMOTE MOLD GROWTH?

Conditions that contribute to mold growth include:

• Water intrusion or leaks
• Fibrous materials, such as wood, paper backing or gypsum board and any building product that can hold moisture
• High humidity levels
• Damp conditions

IDENTIFYING THE CAUSE OF A MOLD PROBLEM

A visual inspection by our Certified Mold Assessors can help to identify the presence of mold in your home or building. As part of the visual inspection, we check:     

• Basement and lower rooms, crawl space, rooms with water/moisture damage
• Interior walls
• Window frames
• Carpet
• Ceiling tiles and other current or former damp materials made of fibrous cellulose 
• All accessible heating, ventilation and air conditioning components
• Indoor plants
• Attics 

If mold is suspected, samples can be collected and sent to a lab for analysis to confirm such contamination and help determine proper remediation.
