Mold Investigation & Testing
Mold is a silent but serious threat to your home’s environment. Our Mold Investigation & Testing services identify mold presence and assess its impact on your indoor air quality and health. Early detection is crucial, as mold can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and property damage.
- Initial Consultation: We begin by considering your concerns and having a discussion about what is taking place in your home or building.
- Visual Inspection: Our experts examine areas prone to mold (walls, ceilings, crawl spaces, etc.) to identify any signs of growth.
- Moisture & Humidity Assessment: Using advanced moisture meters, we evaluate humidity and moisture levels to identify environments conducive to mold growth.
- Air & Surface Sampling: We sample using an InstaScope, which is a portable, wideband, integrated bioaerosol sensor (or WIBS). The InstaScope’s wand captures particles, which then pass through lasers, ultraviolet (UV) light, and a microscope to detect mold, bacteria, viruses, pollen, VOCs, and other particulates in the air. The device's algorithms analyze the particle data to generate unbiased results.
- Report & Recommendations: We present a detailed report with findings and recommendations for any necessary remediation or preventive measures.
Mold Remediation
After identifying mold, prompt removal is essential. Our Mold Remediation service ensures a safe, mold-free environment that protects both your health and your home’s structure.
- Containment: We seal affected areas to prevent mold spores from spreading to other parts of your home.
- Air Filtration: High-efficiency air scrubbers capture airborne mold spores to purify the air during remediation.
- Removal of Contaminated Materials: We carefully remove materials effectively, such as affected drywall or insulation.
- Cleaning: We thoroughly clean the area once the contaminated materials have been removed.
- Drying & Dehumidification: Moisture is removed to create an environment that discourages future mold growth.
- Final Inspection & Testing: We perform post-remediation testing to ensure mold levels are safe and that the remediation process has been effective.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl Space Encapsulation is essential for controlling moisture, reducing pest infestations, and protecting indoor air quality. Encapsulation prevents water vapor from rising into your home, thus safeguarding against mold and improving energy efficiency.
- Inspection & Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive inspection to assess moisture, mold, and any structural concerns in your crawl space.
- Cleaning & Mold Removal: If mold is detected, we clean and remediate it thoroughly before encapsulation.
- Install Floor Liners: We lay a high-quality, durable floor liner across the crawl space floor to create a protective barrier over exposed dirt.
- Seal Vents and Gaps: We close external vents and seal any gaps to prevent moisture and humidity from entering the crawl space.
- Dehumidification System Installation: If necessary, we install a dehumidifier to control humidity levels long-term.
- Final Quality Check: Our team inspects the crawl space to ensure the barrier is fully effective and securely fastened.
Basement Waterproofing
A damp or flooded basement compromises your home’s foundation and encourages mold growth. Our Basement Waterproofing service offers a comprehensive approach to protect against water intrusion. This ensures a dry, secure basement that enhances your property’s longevity.
- Inspection & Diagnosis: Our team assesses your basement for signs of leaks, moisture, and cracks to identify the root causes of water intrusion.
- Interior Drainage System Installation: We install an interior drainage system customized to your structure to ensure proper wall drainage and groundwater control.
- Sump Pump Installation: We install a high-quality sump pump, sump basin, and water discharge to remove water from your basement actively.
- Sealants & Vapor Barriers: We may recommend a concrete sealant to further protect against moisture infiltration, depending on if your situation requires it.
