Moisture Audit, NELAP Accredited Lab Testing & Remediation
Mold is prevalent in our environment, but we can limit the accumulation and growth of mold spores by detecting the sources and mediating the environment. It takes one minor leak or excessive occurrence of humidity to grow and feed mold. In fact, according to the EPA, materials that remain wet for more than 24-48 hours can become a source of microbial growth. The key to effectively handling mold damage is moisture control.
This is critical since excessive mold can severely impact the air you breathe, exacerbating allergies, asthma and the risk of other respiratory ailments. It’s important to manage levels of humidity, keeping indoor areas between 40-60%, and to facilitate proper ventilation/ air flow.
Mold remediation involves inspection, detection, confirmation (via fungal sampling lab results), the removal of contaminated materials, strict air quality control, and finally – restoration.
