Mold and Moisture Services

Mold can be found almost anywhere, and can grow on virtually any organic material as long as certain amounts of moisture and oxygen are present.  Mold has been here as long as humans and is part of the natural ecosystem of our planet.

Recently, illnesses linked to toxic mold and building contamination have resulted in lawsuits with damages awarded in the multi-million dollar range. Legal damages are not the only worry.  Property damage can also cause major expense, and remediation that does not address the root problem can equal recurring damages and repeated expense.   Property transfers are now in many states governed by disclosure laws surrounding mold.

Our comprehensive services include:

  • Diagnostic Assessment – Visual assessments, moisture assessments, and sampling assessments are offered.  HVAC system review and odor sources are included as an integral part of each assessment type.

  • Microbial Sampling – Sampling for mold can determine the viability of mold, the spore counts of mold, or the growth potential of mold spores in the air.  Advanced testing for chemicals produced by some mold is available for certain scenarios.

  • Remedial Specification Creation and Remediation Oversight– Develop remediation specifications for remediation contractors to make sure your remediation job is done correctly. We also offer remediation oversight, to monitor remediation activities for compliance to specifications.

  • Post Remediation Testing – One of the most important parts of a mold remediation project is ensuring that it was done properly at its conclusion.  We offer post remediation verification testing to provide legal evidence of a successfully completed project.

  • Expert Witness and Litigation Support – CIHs are the choice of those in the legal and insurance professions to provide expert testimony and advice regarding mold issues.
