Mold is a type of fungus that grows in damp, poorly ventilated environments. It could be caused by leaking plumbing, a leaky roof, or a high humidity level.

It’s often found behind walls, under sinks, near windows, in HVAC systems, attics, basements, and around water-damaged materials.

While mold isn't as strictly regulated as asbestos or lead, guidelines from the EPA, CDPH, and AIHA outline recommended assessment and clearance procedures for mold investigations.

Mold can cause allergies, asthma flare-ups, sinus infections, and respiratory irritation. Black mold (Stachybotrys) may produce mycotoxins with more severe effects.

We perform visual assessments, moisture readings, and collect air or surface samples for laboratory analysis. Results determine the extent of contamination and inform cleanup plans.

Avoid disturbing visible mold. Contact a mold consultant or hygienist to assess the area and recommend remediation, followed by post-clearance testing.
