F.A.Q’s about Mold, Testing and Corrections:
Why should I test my Indoor Air Quality?
Most home owners just assume that their allergies and asthma symptoms
are normal and just part of living in East Tennessee.
The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tells us that on average the air
in many of our homes is 2 to 200 times worse than the air outdoors.
The
effect of newer building techniques and materials coupled with building
“tighter” homes for greater energy efficiency has had a dramatically
negative effect on the air we breathe in our homes.
People at greatest risk for airborne illness includes children,
senior citizens, adults with compromised immune systems and those with
specific sensitivities to mold and other particulate contaminations.
Reactions to air borne contaminates is variable. Some family
members get very sick on levels that have no effect on other members.
Red flags such as musty odors, frequent headaches, respiratory
congestion and bloody noses often point toward an indoor air quality
problem.
Why suffer? You don’t have to live with bad air.
What assurance do we have of a professional inspection?
We are nationally certified and trained in the latest inspection
techniques and stay current every year in our training. We have
invested heavily in testing equipment to professionally evaluate your
home.
As members of NORMI and MICRO we adhere to the highest ethical
standards of the Indoor Air Quality Industry.
Each property is thoroughly inspected from the inside out to find
potential causes and areas of concern.
We use and independent lab to grow and evaluate collected samples collected from your home.
A detailed, confidential report is prepared and supplied to our client
with our findings and recommendations.
Why do you perform a health survey?
Prior
to the inspection and sampling we sit down with the family to review
medical history of family members. This information is key in directing
our inspection and provides valuable perspective on testing results.
All information is confidential and is only shared with our client.
May I attend the Inspection?
Yes! We highly recommend that our client attend the inspection and
review our initial findings at the completion of the inspection.
A
mold inspection or leak inspection may find a problem like this and
prevent it from being a bigger problem. Where is the mold coming from?
With our training we can find the hidden problem and get you the
solution.

How long does the inspection take?
Site
inspection time requirements vary dependant on such things as age of
the home, square footage, layout and conditions. Typically a 3 bedroom
two bath home takes two to three hours.
When do I get the report?
The report will be transmitted to you in approximately 7 to 10 working
days from the date of the inspection. Proper lab work takes time. Using
green technology our reports are sent via Email, making them easy to
view and share with your realtor and family. A printed copy of
the report or report on CD may alternately be provided on request at
the clients request for a modest additional charge.
What do I do with the report?
Many of our clients share the report results with their health care
providers for further evaluation and medical advice. We will
frequently make recommendations on steps to correct issues.
