View a Sample Mold Report
The buildings we live and work in are not completely airtight. Some mold in the outside air enters our homes through doors, windows, heating and cooling systems, and even very small openings we can’t see. These small amounts of mold are unavoidable and completely normal. Mold becomes an issue indoors when spores land on surfaces that enable them to grow. The main factor for mold growth indoors is almost always moisture.
Our Mold inspections use Sporocyte, the world leader in analyzing environmental samples using cutting edge AI algorithms. This makes our analyses more consistent and thorough than the current standards in traditional environmental laboratories.
Sporecyte is also able to capture images from the air in your home, allowing you to actually see what is in the air you’re breathing!

Thermalimaging or Infrared inspection can provide valuable information regarding moisture, energy loss, electrical overloads, and even wood-destroying organisms in homes and buildings.
These images of the same circuit breaker with normal and thermalimaging cameras show the heat emanating from the circuits which have a load.
