We begin with accessible indoor and outdoor areas. The inspector selects any appropriate testing method based on observed conditions—not on selling cleanup or repair work.
A review of accessible indoor and outdoor areas for visible conditions, water intrusion, and other signs that deserve attention.
The inspector decides which accessible areas require closer review based on the property, reported concern, and conditions present on the day of the visit.
Moisture-meter readings are taken where the inspector determines they will help evaluate the concern.
Readings help document conditions in accessible materials at the time of the visit. They do not reveal every concealed condition or replace destructive investigation.
A swab or other surface sample may be collected when the inspector determines that laboratory identification would be useful.
Surface sampling is not automatic and is not appropriate for every condition. The inspector selects whether to sample, the method, and the location after evaluating the property.
Air samples may be considered only when observed conditions and the inspector's professional judgment support that method.
Air sampling is not included automatically and is not promised for every visit. When selected, the inspector determines the number, location, and appropriate comparison samples, which may include an outdoor sample.
A written report built for real-world use: real estate transactions, insurance claims, landlord disputes, and physician referrals.
The report documents relevant observations from accessible areas. If the inspector collects and submits a sample, the corresponding laboratory findings are included when available.
Describe what you're seeing. We will choose the appropriate method after evaluating the property, and we will never sell you the work that may follow.
