Certified mold, asbestos, lead, mold and IAQ assessments for the Olympic Peninsula and Greater Puget Sound.
Most air quality companies only collect samples. As a licensed home inspector with advanced training in moisture, water damage and building systems, I evaluate the source of the problem- not just the air.
This means you get:
You’re not left with a report and a list of referrals- you will leave with answers.
I provide professional sampling, accredited laboratory analysis, and clear reporting — so know not just if mold is present, but why and what to do next.
Most mold or air-quality testers only collect samples and hand you a lab report. Because I hold the full IICRC suite for water restoration, structural drying, and microbial remediation, I evaluate the source and the conditions that created the problem—not just the symptoms.
I understand how water categories/classes behave, how moisture moves through building materials, and when conditions favor mold growth (S500/S520 standards knowledge).
ASD training lets me interpret elevated moisture readings in context of drying science, so you know whether a problem is active, residual, or resolved.
Instead of a generic “call a remediator,” you get realistic expectations about what proper drying or remediation should look like, what containment standards apply, and what documentation insurance or future buyers will expect.
I do not perform remediation. My recommendations stay focused on protecting your home and health, not selling cleanup work.
Findings and explanations align with industry standards that adjusters, attorneys, and other professionals recognize.
One person who understands the full picture—from moisture source to microbial risk—instead of multiple specialists who only see part of it.
Air sampling identifies mold spores circulating inside the home, including contamination that may not be visible.
Testing can include indoor and outdoor baseline samples, professional spore-trap collection, accredited laboratory analysis, and clear reporting.
Ideal for: Musty odors, recent water damage, real estate transactions, or suspected hidden mold.
Surface sampling can determine whether visible staining or growth is mold and identify the type present.
Testing may include targeted swab or tape-lift samples, moisture readings, laboratory identification, and documentation for remediation or insurance purposes.
Ideal for: Visible discoloration, suspected mold growth, and post-remediation verification.
Older homes and buildings may contain asbestos in flooring, insulation, siding, drywall, and other building materials.
AHERA-compliant inspections and professional sampling provide accredited laboratory results and documentation that can be used when planning renovations, demolition, or other work involving suspect materials.
Ideal for: Older homes, renovations, demolition projects, and real estate transactions.
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint or lead-contaminated dust, soil, or water.
Lead testing and risk assessments can help identify potential hazards before renovations, during real estate transactions, or when evaluating older residential properties.
Testing may include dust wipe sampling, paint testing, soil or water sampling when appropriate, hazard assessments, and clearance testing.
Ideal for: Pre-1978 homes, rental properties, renovation projects, and older properties being purchased or sold.
Environmental contaminants can be hidden behind walls, inside building materials, or circulating through indoor air. Professional testing can help:
Testing replaces uncertainty with clear, documented information.
In the Pacific Northwest, persistent rain, humidity, and poor ventilation frequently create conditions for mold—often long before it becomes visible. Crawlspaces, attics, wall cavities, and roof leaks are common trouble spots.
I don’t stop at air or surface sampling. Every mold evaluation includes moisture assessment and building-science insight so you understand why the problem exists and whether the conditions that caused it are still active.
My IICRC WRT and ASD training lets me determine whether the moisture problem has been properly addressed—or is still creating the conditions for mold growth.
Because of my AMRT certification, I can also assess whether clearance sampling is appropriate and what “clean” should look like under industry protocols—giving you confidence that the work was done right.
You leave with clear answers: what’s present, what’s driving it, and what practical next steps actually matter for your home.
Training in water damage, structural drying, and microbial remediation for accurate, science-based interpretation.
Accredited laboratory analysis explained through real restoration experience — clear context, not just numbers.
No remediation services offered. Testing and recommendations stay objective and focused only on your home.
Results explained in plain language with practical next steps tailored to your property and climate.
Surface sampling can help identify visible growth, while air testing may provide additional information about spores circulating within the home.
Older structures may contain asbestos-containing materials. Testing suspect materials before renovation or demolition can help determine whether special handling or additional requirements apply.
Lead testing may be appropriate for homes built before 1978, particularly when renovations are planned or when evaluating potential lead exposure.
Many laboratory results are available within approximately 24–48 hours, depending on the sample type and laboratory processing requirements.
A strong option for homebuyers who want to evaluate both the home and the condition of the underground sewer line.
Ideal for properties with septic systems where both the home and wastewater system need to be evaluated.
Useful for properties where wastewater, drainage, or underground system conditions are a particular concern.
Combine a home inspection with sewer camera, septic O&M, and environmental testing for a broader evaluation of the property.
Get clear, professional information about potential mold, asbestos, lead, or indoor environmental concerns before making decisions about your home.
