Indoor Air Quality/Mold

We occasionally experience mold or indoor air quality problems. Our internal staff often doesn't believe we are working to solve the problem so we needed a professional, independent third party expert to investigate, find the cause, and develop a preventative solution so mold won't come back. Your findings and reports are understandable by the school board as well as by the staff, and you answer questions in an understandable way. Your awareness session with the grade school teachers educated and satisfied them. You engaged them. They are now our allies. Now when we have an issue, we bring in the big guys - you! - Jeff Parent, Ascension Parish School Board

GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

 

Don't become a victim of moisture problems due to poor design, construction, or facility operation.

Bad design, construction defects, and poor or deferred maintenance of your building can lead to more problems than you might realize. Issues like poor indoor air quality and mold can effect employee productivity, illness and turnover and could be a liability for your business. We provide assistance in re-design, improved maintenance practices, tenant/occupant training, and emergency response.

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

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.
