We use the latest in equipment and technology for accurate air quality testing, and mold detection in places that aren’t easily visible. We are capable of detecting mold and other dangers to indoor air quality and always work to ensure that you are breathing the cleanest air possible.

The Primary Causes of Substandard Indoor Air Quality

Biological Pollutants
Biological contaminants that detract from indoor air quality include bacteria, viruses, pet dander, pollen and bugs; standing water, water-damaged materials or wet surfaces also serve as a breeding ground for bacteria, mild & mildew and more.
Chemical Pollutants

Indoor air quality is affected by chemical pollutants including carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, benzene, nitrogen dioxide and naphthalene – from sources such as tobacco smoke, lead, radon, pesticides and VOC’s (volatile organic compounds).

Radiological Pollutants
Electromagnetic radiation is another major factor in indoor air quality and pollution. This includes the radio frequency, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and x-ray portions of the spectrum. We test for potential radiological pollution generators.

Accurate Mold Testing Ensures Thorough Cleaning

Our process starts with a comprehensive mold and microbial contamination test. This test is a crucial first step to finding where mold spores can be found everywhere in the home, not just where it’s easily seen. We will test the air, surfaces and the underlying structure of your home for any signs of mold contamination. When we find mold in the home, we also work to find the root cause. By knowing where mold is, and how it got there, we are able to formulate the most effective course of action for removing the mold and keeping it from coming back.

The mold remediation plan will lay out the locations, size, and root cause of mold contamination in the home. It will also clearly detail the methods to be used to remove the mold, what needs to be done to fix the root cause of the mold issue, and the personnel needed to get the job done. By documenting every detail of the job, we are able make sure that mold is completely removed from your home the first time around, and underlying issues are fixed so the mold doesn’t come back in the future.

What To Expect From The Mold Remediation Process

Once the mold remediation plan is in place, our mold remediation specialists will get to work on executing the plan. The first step will be to isolate any areas in the home where mold has been found. We close off all windows and doors, and use polyethelyne sheeting to seal off any other openings such as vents. We then seek to control airborne mold spores by misting the contaminated areas before getting to our deep cleaning methods which can include any combination of:

  • Wet or Dry Vacuuming
  • Removal of Moldy Materials
  • Spraying & Scrubbing With A Detergent Solution
  • Disinfecting & Deoderizing
  • Drying Wet Materials
  • Replacing Removed Materials

From there, we also work to address the cause of the mold contamination. This usually involves fixing issues with the plumbing system, or the ventilation system in the home. We work with experienced and fully certified plumbers and HVAC technicians to ensure the issue has been properly fixed.
