Mold Testing
Our mold testing service includes thermal imaging, moisture meter readings, and sample collection from air and surfaces. Certified inspectors use EPA-recognized methods to identify mold species and contamination levels. Results from accredited labs like EMSL in Baton Rouge provide actionable data for remediation planning.
Water Damage Assessment
We conduct comprehensive moisture assessments using infrared thermography and hygrometers to detect hidden water intrusion. Our inspectors examine foundations, roofing, and plumbing systems to identify sources of moisture that could lead to mold growth and structural damage.
Air Quality Analysis
Our air quality specialists perform baseline outdoor air comparisons and indoor spore trap sampling. With specialized training in HVAC systems, we identify airborne contaminants and provide protocols for improving ventilation and reducing allergens in residential and commercial spaces.
