Our inspections can proactively determine areas of concern, that when addressed promptly can alleviate more serious issues, such as:

Moisture Intrusion

Foundation Deterioration

In addition, our technicians utilize our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to identify areas of causation for moisture intrusion. If you suspect or know that you have a moisture problem, we can identify where the moisture is entering your home or building with minimal intrusion. We provide:

Moisture Mapping

Infrared Moisture Inspection

Moisture Meters

Microbial Monitoring

Photo-ionization Monitoring

Our environmental Consultants can detect damage causing moisture on gypsum wallboard and wood framing within your home or commercial building. During the thorough Phase A inspection, we inspect all accessible surfaces for moisture content. We will locate the source of any moisture or water intrusion. We will also identify any microbial issues caused by excessive moisture.

Your Choates Environmental Consultant will then sit down with you and discuss the results of the Phase A inspection. If any microbial sampling is necessary, we will explain the various sampling methods, such as Air-O-Cell, Tape Left of Squibb Test. In the case of legal or medical suits, cultural sampling, or Phase B testing may be required.

If Phase B, or microbial sampling is necessary, it will be tailored to your specific needs. Addition to microbial air sampling, we offer general air quality testing for VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). This type of inspection is conducted with calibrated photo-ionization equipment.
