In recent years, mold has received a lot of attention
as a major environmental hazard. And there are a
lot of reasons for this. High-profile cases resulting in
millions of dollars of litigation have been publicized
through the media. Mold is fairly ubiquitous, needing
only a food source, water and oxygen to flourish. And
finally, mold causes severe allergic reactions in
some people resulting in headaches, sore
eyes and throat, nausea, sneezing, nose
bleeds, respiratory infections and
other unhealthy symptoms. If you
think you have a mold problem,
let us clear the air for you.

There are literally thousands of species of mold,
they can be found both indoors and outdoors. When
mold spores become airborne and land on moist
organic materials, they create colonies that
grow and grow as long as they have water and food.
People come in contact with the microscopic particles
mold releases either through the skin or by inhaling.
potential effect mold has on people may be determined
by the kind of mold present, the type of contact, how
long the person has been exposed and whether
person experiences allergic reactions to mold.
We know how to perform proper and scientificallybased
mold inspections, and we will help you devise
a plan to manage your mold. First, we will assist you
in finding the water source or leak that is allowing the
mold to grow. This moisture source can be visible to the
eye, can be hidden within a wall or ventilation system,
or can even be residing in building materials that
were wet during construction. Then we will conduct
a thorough inspection based on our analysis of your
mold situation and developed specifically to
address your particular needs.

Our expert technicians will perform a series of
diagnostic tests to determine whether your building
poses a potential health hazard due to mold. This
includes gathering surface samples and monitoring
your air quality. Once laboratory data has been
analyzed, we can proceed with a remediation plan.
One of the biggest issues with mold remediation
is that mold will spread if not handled properly. Once
the source of water intrusion has been identified and
repaired, we then help you devise a plan to effectively
remove all the building materials where mold is
growing. Our detailed reports will provide you with
the back-up you may need in dealing with any
transactions or litigation associated with your building.
