MOLD IS NOT A NAIL OR BRICK. IT IS A LIVING BREATHING REPRODUCING POTENTIALLY PATHOGENIC TOXIC BIOLOGICAL ENTITY AND MUST BE STUDIED AS SUCH. IF YOU HAVE A HEALTH OR HIGH VALUE PROPERTY CONCERN  IT REQUIRES NOTHING LESS THAN FULL AND DEFINITIVE SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY WITH FULL CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS..........  BOOKMARK THIS SITE  NOW

Special attention needs to be given and analysis performed when higher than normal levels of airborne mold spores, presence of toxic mold gas in the form of odor or serious levels of toxic mold growth are present. High levels of mold will often result in allergic reaction by persons exposed to them. Such reactions when present, with  mold infestation or  mold contamination will require a thorough inspection. 

When your investigation is critically important (health, legal, major property transfer, etc.) you must have a competent  study and analysis employing the most advanced indoor air quality technologies for investigating airborne biologicals  with a complete report.

You must  know with the highest details what mold you are dealing with and where the mold may be  growing. Common mold growth is often hidden in your home.  Mold presence testing provide you with a clue to an unexplained recently acquired allergy or condition, the potential  and possible risks in the future. Such testing is predictive factor in determining the presence of any hidden mold.

** The presence of black mold may require genus and specie testing to exclude toxic molds including Stachybotrys or Aspergillus - the simple mold kit samples are meaningless without proper use (unknown to the user,  most kits are used incorrectly giving false positives and false negatives) in conducting a competent scientific sampling and study of the areas in question-they tend to raise more unanswerable questions resulting in more confusion.  These kits have little to no value in testing for mold since there is mold everywhere and will ALWAYS be found. Every fungal presence is not a mold and there are bioflora and many other presentations that are clearly no a risk to humans. This requires the expertise of a medical mycologist so trained.

Where critical levels of mold contamination are  identified, our mycologists  will provide recommendations for remediation  and abatement if needed. We are also qualified to write legal opinions.   See our  SERVICES     for additional information.

 

Mold investigation and  testing requires that a experienced certified toxic mold inspector using the most advanced indoor air quality testing  methods be employed by a mycologist and clinical analyst conduct a complete and  thorough investigation. Our scientists meet and exceed all qualifications for doing this type of research. Our work will go to the DNA level when required. ( Meet our Medical  Mycologist ).

Your  home, apartment, condo, office, property, or work place can be inspected for the presence of both visible and hidden mold  and related mold problems. If there is a notable mold presence  sampling is required to determine the level of risk present. Such an inspection is critical if there is a possibility that health (human and/or animal)  has been affected, impaired or at risk.  We are referred by select physicians, allergists and immunologists for such purposes.
