As licensed mold testers and mold inspectors, we see all kinds of mold problems. Our mold testing and mold inspecting technician will give you honest answers with real results.

Why would you need a mold inspection? Molds can cause serious health issues to children, the elderly, and persons with suppressed immune systems.

Mold spores can even cause problems and health effects even if the spores are dead. Molds can grow undetected inside wall spaces, under carpeting and inside HVAC systems.

Because of these reasons our highly trained inspector does a thorough inspection along with air quality testing and humidity readings.

Once results come back from the independent lab (24 hours) and if building, home or office is found to have mold or fungi issues, a protocol plan will be drawn up to get air quality back to a healthy, uncontaminated breathing zone

What is Stachybotrys chartarum (Stachybotrys atra)?
Stachybotrys chartarum (also known by its synonym Stachybotrys aka Black Mold) is a greenish - black mold.
It can grow on material with a high cellulose and low nitrogen content, such as fiberboard, gypsum board, paper, dust, and lint. Black mold growth occurs when there is moisture from water damage, excessive humidity, water leaks, condensation, and water infiltration. Constant moisture is required for black mold growth.

Stachybotrys is a documented mycotoxin producer and its health effects have been reported to cause dermatitis, cough, rhinitis, and headaches. Stachybotrys will germinate, grow and multiply on building materials eventually leading to material degradation and potential negative effects upon the quality of the indoor air.

Crawl space Encapsulation and dehumidification Systems
It is a documented fact that 30% to 60% of the air you breath in your home comes from you crawl space air. Most crawl spaces have a tendency to be damp, humid breeding ground for mold, wood destroying fungi and bacteria caused by vermin waste. Moisture and humidity in the air promotes mold and fungi growth which in the long run can be detrimental to you or your family members health.

We can help. We clean out the entire crawl space, and tailor an encapsulation dehumidification system for your home and condition it like a short basement. Fogging with EPA approved fungicide, biocide and antimicrobials is also available to kill all mold and fungi spores and deodorize the crawl space air on the extreme cases.

Your crawl space will be a sealed, dry, humid free conditioned area that will be vermin, mold, fungi and bacteria free. Your homes breathing air will be much cleaner and healthier, you will be protecting your flooring sub structure from wood fungi damage and your *energy bills reduced.

*Energy bills are reduced on homes with HVAC trunk lines in the crawl space; our system dries the pipe insulation and keeps it dry. Wet insulation on ductwork does not insulate.
