 Inspection & Testing for Mold 
If you suspect that you have a mold problem your health could be at risk. This is especially true for small children, elderly individuals or if you have a compromised immune system. At Environix we take mold very seriously, but approach every situation with common sense.
Unfortunately not every company carries out logical or ethical testing procedures and in fact, many of our competitor have no official training or certification. Just because you picked up a Petri Dish at the Home Depot and attended a weekend seminar in Las Vegas on the mold industry doesn't make you a professional. When it comes to mold, hire a professional, hire Environix.
Our inspections include the following*:
- Non-invasive moisture meter readings
- Thermal imaging
- Fiber-Optic boroscope camera
- Air quality testing and sampling
- Relative Humidity and temperature readings
- Carbon Monoxide and Dioxide testing
- Direct sampling
No matter what your up against, if it involves indoor air quality, mold, water damage, allergens or something similar, we can help identify the source, quantity and level of threat. All of our inspectors have been individually trained both out in the field and in the classroom. The report you will receive includes a full analysis and scope of the problem you are facing.
Carbon Monoxide (CO): measured in parts per million (ppm)
- Ideally, CO concentrations indoors are expected to be the same as CO concentrations outdoors. CO concentrations are typically around one to two parts per million parts of air (ppm) or less. Concentrations are usually lower in rural areas. Finding CO concentration higher indoors than outdoors indicates an indoor source of CO, or a source very close to your home.
- Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas often formed in the process of incomplete combustion of organic substances, including fuels. CO can cause serious health problems.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2): measured in parts per million (ppm)
- The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends a concentration of CO2 no more than 700 ppm above the ambient air (outside) concentration in order to minimize human odors and maintain comfort.
- Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas. It is produced when any carbon-based material used for fuel (coal, oil, wood, etc.) is burned. When fuel burning is not a factor, the main sources are tobacco smoke, human and animal respiration. Carbon dioxide is given off whenever we exhale. Cars, trucks, industrial equipment, and burning fuel for power are some of the major contributors to CO2 in the air.
