During building construction we do inspections both visual and using an Infrared Thermographic Camera. We look for:

• Construction defects that have resulted in or could result in water damage.
• Any water inside the building envelope.

We document that drywall is dry and mold free before closing up any walls, shafts and/or cavities.

No matter how careful one is, there may be some mold growth from time to time on drywall or wood during construction.

In addition to our inspection reports, we recommend procedures and provide training for builders to cost effectively and correctly take care of such issues with in-house staff. We are oftentimes asked to provide remediation plans; supervise; do final testing and to certify and/or warranty such work.

In addition to mold and moisture investigation and inspection services, we provide training for builders on handling typical post-construction emergency water damage problems. In particular, training focuses on how to dry out and disinfect wall cavities; plenums; and other areas that are typically not properly dried by moisture abatement / disaster recovery firms. Ask for copies of our publications dealing with "Water Damaged Construction Materials" and "Procedures of Wall Cavity Dry Out."
