How Mold Testing in Ann Arbor Works
While many companies only spend 10-15 minutes at your home or facility, take limited samples (if any), and are often incentivised to upsell you on remediation you may not need, Indoor Science’s approach is different. We take time to:
- Provide comprehensive services (when required) such as moisture mapping, cause and origin reports and protocol development
- Inspect the impacted area and adjacent spaces to detect where and why mold is growing
- Use state-of-the-art instruments combined with hundreds of hours of on the job and classroom training to find underlying moisture
- Look inside walls, under carpeting, inside ductwork and in the HVAC system
- Conduct air quality and surface testing to see if mold is present
- Use laboratory analysis to determine the mold type and threats accompanied with it
- Issue a final report summarizing our methodology, findings and recommended next steps
Our work tends to get highly technical and as a result, our mold experts take pride in simplifying our findings and recommendations for how to move forward. Our goal to provide peace of mind for what is needed to cost effectively ensure health and wellbeing.
