| Visual Inspection
We perform a thorough visual inspection of the building or property. Our inspectors look for indications of excess moisture and past moisture intrusion and mold-like substances, and we then investigate these as to their sources. The olfactory sense, highly effective moisture meter and other professional tools such as borescopes (to look into walls or other hidden spaces) and a humidity & temperature tester are used to investigate a structure.
Sampling Procedures
Air samples or other types of sampling such as swab or tape lift can be performed on what is discovered in the visual inspection. If “red flags” such as water stains, musty smells, elevated moisture levels on surfaces or visible mold-like substances are observed, then sampling may be recommended. Laboratory results on any samples taken provide the inspector with vital information for use in giving precise, accurate recommendations to the client.
