Our firm has the necessary license to advise and assist you with any mold issues that may arise in your building.

We have complaints from our tenants that they are getting sick from mold, however, we don’t see anything. Can you conduct a test so we can clarify and have have a record that all is OK?

Yes. We will do a visual and can also do an air test. We can put the the results into a report for management.

Why is this microbial growth a concern?

Often times the answer is, that there is no microbial growth and there is only the perception of a hazard. We are able to educate our customer and save them money through the manner which we would advise them to handle the situation.

Our firm offers several recognized microbial growth related testing methods:

a. Air Test – Air drawn through an Air-O-Cell test canister at 20L per minute which acts as a filter much in the same way an individuals lungs would draw oxygen into their body. This test is broadly used because it is an accurate evaluation of the ambient air being breathed within the area of concern.

b. Moisture Analysis – A moisture and humidity analysis is another valuable tool in understanding the underlying cause of any microbial concern.

c. Bulk Sample – Our firm is equipped to take bulk samples of microbial growth laboratory analysis to define. This analysis can define which strain of microbial growth is present and thereby elucidate if there is a hazard to human health.

d. In-wall Scan – Specialized equipment is available through our firm to scan wall cavities for moisture and microbial growth where a traditional answer as to the source of moisture is not readily available. The data obtained from this form of scan is helpful in producing a virtual picture of the situation behind an otherwise closed area.
