Mold Services Include:

A scientific mold inspection and bio aerosol assessment includes the following:
A visual inspection seeks out signs of visible mold or suspect areas of previous moisture or water intrusion issues. Air sampling consisting of an outside control sample and a minimum of one indoor air sample per floor of living area is completed.
Direct samples are to be taken of any suspect or “mold like” substances. Sample Analysis is completed by a microbiology laboratory identifying contamination levels and mold species. Inspection Results - Lab results are interpreted and the complete results of the visual inspection observations, sample analysis report, summary and recommendations are then reported to the client.

Toxic mold services include: mold remediation – mold removal, cleaning and inspection, moisture intrusion detection, mold Inspections and testing and laboratory sample analysis, allergen screening for dust mites, pollen, pet dander, etc., preventative mold treatments, household moisture assessment, and anti microbial treatments – attic and crawlspace. At the outset, you should understand some key points: As a property manager, you don't need to become an expert on mold. Large legal settlements don't change what you're responsibilities and you don’t need to panic. Some basic and simple strategies can equip you to address this important issue. Become aware of the licensed experts in your area who are prepared to inspect for mold and remediate per recognized scientific industry standards. Be aware of the legal right and responsibilities for landlords and tenants in your area. A property manager needs to be able to protect his or her own firm from liability. There are industry standards and scientific methods available for solving mold problems.

The DRI-inside™ inspection process begins with utilizing the most accurate and reliable moisture metering equipment in the industry, Looking for signs of moisture and trying to identify moisture by touch and feel is not enough. A trained professional with the right equipment is needed. The DRI-inside certified certificate indicates the structure was inspected and the moisture condition identified showed it ready for cover per published industry accepted standards. A certificate is issued for each and every home certified as DRI-Inside™. It just makes sense to be cautious about closing up moisture in your home. The DRI-Inside™ certified inspector analyzes the following areas for excessive moisture content using state of the art equipment: interior wall framing, exterior wall framing, sub floor and floor joists, exterior wall sheeting, and roof sheathing and trusses. The inspector also completes a visual inspection of all building substrates for the presence of mold fungi. Upon completion of the inspection and finding no mold or moisture issues, a certificate is issued certifying the structure as DRI-Inside™ and mold free at the time of the inspection.

The CMI certification recognizes the Certified Mold Inspector as having exhibited a proficiency of knowledge required to conduct bio-aerosol assessments of a structure including source sampling, air sampling, sample analysis, interpretation of data and the prevention and control of microbial contamination. The Certified Mold Inspector has demonstrated the proficiency and knowledge necessary to properly perform these tasks within the guidelines and protocols as developed by the American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and those additional 3rd party references as listed in the MICRO CMI course materials.

The CMRC certification recognizes the Certified Mold Remediator as having exhibited a proficiency of knowledge required to perform professional mold remediation including inspection and preliminary determination, principles of remediation, qualifications, procedures, structural remediation, HVAC remediation and contents remediation within the guidelines as outlined in IICRC S520 “Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation”, the New York City Department of Health Remediation Guidelines, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Air and Radiation Indoor Environments Division “Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings” and additional 3rd party references included in the MICRO CMR course materials.
