Mold Inspection
Our non-invasive mold inspections use moisture analysis and thermal imaging to identify hidden mold sources. Technicians check accessible areas for visible growth and moisture intrusion while maintaining property integrity. Clients receive detailed reports with actionable recommendations within 1-2 hours of on-site evaluation.
Mold Testing
We collect indoor and outdoor air samples for independent lab testing. Results identify specific mold species and concentration levels within 2-3 business days. This data informs customized remediation plans and provides documentation for property transactions or insurance claims.
Mold Remediation
Following S520 standards, we contain affected areas using negative air pressure systems. Contaminated materials are removed while preventing cross-contamination. Our process includes HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatments, and post-remediation verification testing to ensure complete mold elimination.
Crawl Space Solutions
We address moisture issues in crawlspaces that create mold-friendly environments. Our solutions include vapor barrier installation, drainage improvements, and structural drying. These interventions prevent future mold growth while improving overall indoor air quality for residential properties.
Free Estimate
Our technicians evaluate mold-affected areas to develop detailed remediation proposals. Estimates include containment strategies, required equipment, and projected timelines. While not a full inspection, this service provides clear pricing transparency before initiating any mold removal work.
