Have you ever wondered what is in the air you breathe, why the air smells musty different in certain rooms or could what you are breathing be harmful to your family?

Whether you have a visible mold problem or want to ensure the allergens in the air are not harming your children, we can assist in identify if there is a problem and what types of mold or allergens are in the home. The state of the air testing equipment and invasive inspection of the home will identify the type of mold/allergen is the issue and what can be causing the elevated levels.

Why Should You Test For Mold/Allergens?

  • There have been leaks or water intrusions that were not noticed or dealt with immediately.
  • When visible mold is not present, but the smell of mold is.
  • When unusual stains appear on furniture or building material.
  • When you have health concerns or mystery health issues that doctors cannot pinpoint the cause of.
  • To establish the presence of mold and the justification for remediation. Many remediation and insurance companies will not authorize or undertake mold remediation if the presence of mold growth is not scientifically demonstrated.
  • To “clear” a remediation; that is, to show that all mold is gone after remediation. Often, mold remediation will miss a mold-contaminated area. Testing of the air in the contained work area will assure that the levels inside the work area are reduced to ambient levels. This also provides documentation for future real estate transfers that the mold was properly and effectively removed.
  • Before purchasing a home.
  • If you are mold sensitive, before renting a home.
  • If there is a Landlord/Tenant dispute as to whether there is a mold problem.
  • If you are concerned about overall indoor air quality.
