The first step in determining a health hazard in your building is through detection of mold presence; spores in the air and determination of the source of the mold problem. While you may be able to find the mold yourself with a visual inspection of obvious areas, you will want to work with a professional mold inspection and mold testing company to unearth all of the locations that the mold might be hiding; to determine the extent of the mold problem and to identify what type of mold you are dealing with, and to confirm the presence or absence of mold in the air you are breathing.

Our mold inspection & mold testing experts utilize several techniques and take advantage of useful technology to get these answers. With the help of devices such as digital moisture detection equipment and infrared thermal device, our mold inspection technicians are able to locate areas that could be hot spots for potential mold growth. The digital moisture meter equipment can read the levels of moisture in any given location, possibly putting a spotlight on an area that has a leak or is growing mold. The infrared inspection equipment such as an infrared-calibrated digital camera can show areas of excess moisture or water damage that one can’t see with their own eyes. This could indicate an area that has substantial moisture or even old water damage that is breeding mold.
