Professional Mold Testing Services in Tukwila

Our mold testing and inspection service aims to ascertain the presence and condition of mold in your home or business, the condition and extent of the issue, and the likely cause of the problem, with recommendations to resolve the issue. We provide a detailed report documenting our findings. If remediation is required to fix the problem, a mold remediation contractor will use our report to perform the work necessary to resolve the issue.

Mold testing and remediation are two different disciplines, but the two often work together to solve the issue. Mold testing and inspections are used to investigate the problem, collect data, and get the full scope of the problem so the issue can be dealt with correctly to prevent the issue from recurring. The mold remediation contractor performs the removal of the mold.

Hiring a professional mold testing and inspection consultant ensures the issue is correctly investigated and documented accurately, covering all the bases in an unbiased fashion, and for defensibility, reducing liability.
