What is a
mold investigation?
Mold investigations (also
called mold assessments) can vary tremendously, so this is an
important question that any business or homeowner should ask. Our
mold investigations are based on a forensic approach that seeks to
identify the underlying sources of the problem as well as the
presence and identification of mold. We rely on a system of visual
inspection, viable sampling, non-viable sampling, surface and bulk
sampling, and moisture testing that, when taken together, provide a
much more reliable and valid assessment than most investigators are
able to achieve. We have the capability of performing microscopic
examinations on the premises that can provide a quick and much more
accurate assessment. For example, instead of declaring an entire home
"contaminated", we can zero in on the offending areas, sometimes to
within small areas. By doing so, we can help you keep the remediation
costs down.
One more point: WE DO
NOT PERFORM MOLD REMEDIATION.
We believe it is a
conflict of interest for the same professional to determine the
presence of mold and then to perform the remediation work.
In other
words, we are not paid a penny extra if we find mold! Our goal is
only one thing: an accurate investigation.
