How thorough are the
investigations?
Be careful
who you select, because there are virtually
NO LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
for
mold investigators! There are, of course, many reasons why we think
we're the best. However, even if you never choose us for a mold
investigation, we recommend you ask the following questions of
any investigation:
What are
your qualifications for performing mold investigations?
(Each of us
has a related doctoral degree, full professor status, and over 25
years of experience in the field).
Do you combine
investigations with remediation?
(This
combination could lead to a conflict of interest during the
investigation. The temptation is too great to "find mold" if it leads
to a remediation contract.)
How many samples per
room do you take?
(Don't
settle for just a few air samples! In a typical 3-bedroom home, we
would normally take 30-50 samples, but there is no limit on our
number of samples depending on your needs. One price includes all of our testing.
Our primary concern is with accuracy, and we typically take many more
samples than our competitors. We take viable as well as non-viable
samples along with as many surface/bulk samples as needed.)
