Visual Assessment

Vapor barrier appears intact from access hatch

Finding

Structural compromise — 40% of floor joists affected, immediate remediation required

Context

Pre-purchase inspection flagged 'minor moisture.' Air sampling revealed black mold 60× above EPA action threshold. Deal renegotiated $38,000 lower.

Who We Serve

The worry has a name.
Does yours match?

Mold doesn't discriminate by home age, price, or neighborhood. It needs three things: moisture, organic material, and time.

Health symptoms

Parents With Sick Kids

Recurring respiratory infections, persistent cough, or unexplained allergy symptoms. When doctors can't find the cause, look at the house.

Tenant complaint

Landlords Facing Complaints

A tenant reports musty air or visible growth. Before you respond, know exactly what you're dealing with — and document it.

Peace of mind

You Just Want to Know

No specific incident. No symptoms. But you've owned this house for years and never had it checked. That's reason enough.

Commercial / Multi-unit

Commercial Properties

OSHA compliance, tenant health liability, HVAC systems spanning multiple floors. We work with property managers and building owners.

Methodology

How we find what
no one else sees.

IAQA

Indoor Air Quality Association

ACAC

American Council for Accredited Certification

AIHA

American Industrial Hygiene Association

FLIR

Thermography Certification

0145–90 min

Thermal Imaging Survey

FLIR-certified cameras detect temperature differentials invisible to the naked eye. Active moisture behind walls, ceilings, and floors shows as cold anomalies — before any visible growth appears.

Resolution: 320×240 IR · Sensitivity: ±0.05°C

0220–40 min

Air Sampling & Spore Count

Cassette samples taken at breathing height in each room, plus an outdoor control sample. Lab analysis identifies species, concentration, and compares to EPA baseline thresholds.

AIHA-accredited laboratory · Results in 24–48 hours

03As needed

Surface Sampling (If Indicated)

When thermal or air sampling flags a specific area, tape-lift or swab samples confirm species identity and colony density. This is what determines remediation scope.

Chain-of-custody documentation included

0448hr delivery

Certified Written Report

A 15–25 page report with annotated thermal images, lab results, affected area mapping, species-specific health data, and a prioritized remediation protocol you can give directly to any contractor.
