MOLD ASSESSMENT

Don’t let mold affect your health! The only true way to determine if mold is present is to have a licensed NYS mold assessor visually inspect and potentially test for mold. We'll assess your entire property from top to bottom, paying extra close attention to areas where moisture can get in, like inside your walls and crawl spaces. We'll inform you of any mold issues in your home by pinpointing where the moisture is getting in.

Certified Infrared technology

Our advanced infrared technology detects temperature variations behind walls, pinpointing areas of potential concern that might not be visible to the naked eye. While it doesn't "see" in the same way an X-ray would, the technology visualizes thermal anomalies, indicating potential moisture, mold, or insulation gaps. For homeowners, this means early detection, preventing costly repairs, and ensuring a healthier living environment.

WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISM INSPECTION

Wood Destroying Organism W.D.O. (Termite, Carpenter Ant, Carpenter Bees, Powder Post Beetles) Inspection.
