🔍 Inspection vs. Removal: What’s the Difference?

🔬

Mold Inspection

Our certified inspectors identify problems:

  • Find mold with infrared cameras
  • Test air quality and spore counts
  • Measure moisture levels
  • Identify water sources
  • Provide detailed lab reports

Mold Removal

Remediation services fix problems:
