Services Offered

Visual Assessment for Moisture Damage and Suspect Mould Growth

A Visual Assessment is a non-invasive visual inspection of the structure for mould and conditions associated with indoor mould growth using state-of-the-art, industry specific equipment to detect unusual conditions such as:

  • Abnormal temperature differentials
  • Elevated humidity
  • Elevated moisture in building materials
  • Visual water damage or staining of building materials

Sample Collection and Laboratory Testing

If microbial growth is suspected, we can sample the environment using one or more of three common mould sampling methods.

  • Surface sample: involves using a sterile swab or direct tape lift to collect mould from a surface for direct microscopic examination and analysis.
  • Bulk sample: involves physically extracting a piece of material from a surface for culturing or direct microscopic examination and analysis.
  • Air sample: involves trapping air in a special cassette specifically designed for direct microscopic examination and analysis.

Asthma Triggers and Allergen Screening

Screening involves using a dust collection device to collect dust from interior settling reservoirs such as cold air returns, baseboards, bedding and furniture.  Since indoor allergens can play a significant role in triggering asthma attacks, it is important to recognize potential indoor contaminants and reduce your exposure.  With today’s technology, indoor environments can be tested for contaminants.
