GENERAL MOLD INSPECTION & TESTING SERVICES OVERVIEW:
For further details and pricing please call the number at the top of this page. |
| CURSORY VISUAL ASSESSMENT [return to list] |
A Cursory Visual Assessment is a non-invasive visual inspection of the structure (inside and out) for mold and conditions associated with indoor mold growth using state-of-the-art, industry specific equipment to detect "red flags", such as:
- Abnormal changes in temperature, humidity, and moisture retention in construction materials
- External sources of current and prior water intrusion
- Internal sources of current and prior water intrusion
- Photo documentation of any suspect areas
Includes:
- Field consultation (findings review)
- Reference report with EPA recommended guidelines for self clean up or referral to an appropriate specialist.
- Documentation and follow up consultation by an IESO Trained Residential Mold Inspector (CRMI)

MOLD SAMPLING ASSESSMENT [return to list] |
Conventional Mold Sampling:
The primary purpose of mold sampling is to confirm or rule out the probability that mold is originating indoors. The secondary purpose is to identify and quantify mold spore types and concentrations indoors for potential health risk assessment. There are three conventional mold sampling methods:
- Surface sample; involves using either a cotton swab apparatus or direct tape lift to collect mold from a surface for culturing or direct microscopic examination and analysis.
- Bulk sample; involves physically extracting a piece of material from a surface for culturing or direct microscopic examination and analysis.
- Air sample; involves trapping air in a special cassette specifically designed for culturing or direct microscopic examination and analysis.
* Your inspector will make sampling recommendations based on
observations made in the visual inspection.
Includes:
- All sampling supplies and field documentation
- All laboratory fees and analytical reports
- Data interpretation of lab reports and explanation of elevated and/or unusual mold conditions according to IESA and ACGIH references.
- Full analytical review by a highly qualified Certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE), Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant (CIEC), or a Certified Indoor Air Quality Manager (CIAQM). Analytical review includes a reference report with EPA and IICRC S500 and S520 recommended guidelines for self clean up or referral to an appropriate specialist.
*Sample price guidelines follow national standards.
*Some minimums may apply.
*Please call for current information.

| PROJECT MANAGEMENT [return to list] |
| Project management is the on-site supervision and progress assessment of your mold remediation job. Most property owners are not familiar with mold remediation processes or the difference between proper and improper protocols. The best way to insure your job is being done correctly is by hiring us to manage your project for you.
Includes:
- Pre-work safety check of containment barriers and instructions to your contractors for properly discarding contaminated materials
- Scheduled spot checks of work in progress
- Post-remediation visual inspection and moisture assessment
|
| POST-REMEDIATION VERIFICATION [return to list] |
| Post-remediation verification is mission-critical in determining the success of a remediation project. Unless certain criteria is met, there is a very high likelihood that mold will return. An independent third-party assessment is your only way to know if that mold is no longer originating from the remediated areas and that all remaining construction materials are dry enough for reconstruction.
Includes:
- A visual inspection of the work area(s)
- Moisture assessment of salvaged materials
- Air sampling of work area(s) with comparative control
- All sampling supplies and field documentation
- All laboratory fees and analytical reports
- Data interpretation of lab reports and explanation of elevated and/or unusual mold conditions according to IESA and ACGIH references.
- Full analytical review by a highly qualified Certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE), Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant (CIEC), or a Certified Indoor Air Quality Manager (CIAQM). Analytical review includes a reference report with EPA and IICRC S500 and S520 recommended guidelines for self clean up or referral to an appropriate specialist.
