Facilities (Mold & Indoor Air Quality)

The issues surrounding indoor air quality and its effect on worker productivity, potential illness, and owner liability has become a major issue over the past several years. Lawsuits against building owners, architects, engineers, and contractors have made it a necessity to address problems within building systems with real world, practical solutions. Many organizations exist who simply "treat the symptoms" but do not fix the problems.

EPA estimate that 18% of annual production loss to American business is due to poor IAQ.

WLWCEI helps building owners identify common and costly problems occurring in their buildings, and diagnose causes of poor indoor air quality. Most importantly, we provide our clients with solutions. A large percentage of indoor air quality issues stem from excessive moisture within the building space which can cause a multitude of problems for facility owners and operators, including microbial and mold growth.

According to the World Health Organization, 40% of all buildings pose serious health hazards due to poor IAQ.

Moisture problems in buildings may result from poor maintenance, bad building design, or a water intrusion event. We provide assistance in re-design, improved maintenance practices, tenant/occupant training, and emergency response.
