MOLD INSPECTION

SERVING ALL OF LONG ISLAND

Mold Removal From Your House

With experience and successful projects our Toxic Mold Inspection and Mold Testing is designed to help our clients discover, document, and understand mold-related issues through professional investigation, testing and analysis methods in conjunction with proven sampling strategies (e.g., microscopic vs. culturable analysis, culturable & non-culturable air sampling, surface sampling, tape lift sampling).

Such Mold & Toxic Mold Inspection, clearance testing and analysis must be accomplished with an effective chain of custody, meeting outlined and proven transport requirements, and in the end, all findings must be reported to the client in a professional manner. We only utilize the results of building material moisture surveys, boroscopic examination (if necessary) of wall cavities, and laboratory results to accurately define a mold problem.

Mold Inspection Process

  • We send certified technicians to the property to do a full five point inspection
  • We take air samples to check if there is mold in the air, and swab samples to check if there is mold on surfaces. We then check for possible water intrusion points that may lead to mold and take non-invasive moisture level measurements
  • We take photographs of mold specimen sources and attach them to a “Chain of Custody” document; a procedure compliant with legal standards for evidence. Additionally, we use particle counters in and outside your home to determine the number of negative particles that are elevated indoor levels as compared to the outside.
  • We use infrared imaging technology to clearly show mold that may be growing behind walls, and moisture readers to detect moisture damage to drywall, insulation and other materials in your property.
  • Within 2-3 business days, we provide you with a detailed report and lab results. This report will advise on (1) whether there is a mold contamination; (2) severity of mold growth rate; (3) the recommended remediation steps to remove the mold; (4) instructions to prevent mold from reoccurring along with picture details, infrared and digital.

To summarize, this includes air testing, swab sampling, water intrusion inspection, moisture level measurement, photographs of mold sources, internal/external mold particle comparison, infrared technology hidden mold detection and damage assessment, and a detailed report summarizing lab results as well as recommended cure steps. Our service is intended to provide you with a thorough understanding of the conditions in your home.

Goals of Our Mold Investigation:

  • Determine if there is a mold or toxic mold infestation problem
  • Determine the cause of the mold or toxic mold infestation problem
  • Determine the extent of the mold or toxic mold infestation problem

Types of Mold Testing Include:

Mold often grows behind walls and inside ceiling and floor cavities long before it is ever detected. By the time you start smelling an unpleasant odor, rest assured mold has been growing somewhere for some time and every day is growing more. If you suspect you have mold growing indoors, the time to act is sooner rather than later.
