Mold and Bacteria Assessments

Some basics, however, seem to have become better established and include these principles:

• A thorough visual inspection and an understanding of building and ventilation components are necessary to complete an assessment.
• Excessive mold growth within a building is undesirable and should be removed using appropriate response actions.
• The use of biocides is not a preferred substitute for the physical removal of mold.
• Testing has limitations and should be used as a tool as part of an investigation, not as a primary method of evaluation.
• Post-remediation verification by an independent professional (to avoid a conflict of interest) should be performed following a response action. Performance Environmental is an objective third party when you need mold and bacteria assessments. Our services in this area include:
