Since the late 1990′s, there has been an increased concern over indoor mold.  There has also been increased confusion over how indoor mold is affecting occupants’ health.  Definitive answers are often lacking from the scientific research, further causing concern and confusion.

If you think you are experiencing a mold problem, Indoor Sciences can assess the situation.  Other companies may only come in and take a few samples, but we perform a detailed assessment of the property to understand the underlying cause of the mold problem.  With tools such as infrared cameras, borescopes and moisture meters, we find the moisture problems that contribute to the mold growth.

Within the context of a thorough assessment, Indoor Sciences will often collect samples to confirm a tentative explanation of the problem.  Samples may include swab, tape-lift, viable air, spore trap, dust, bulk, mVOC or mycotoxins depending on the exact issue.

When finding a consultant to assess your mold problem, be sure to find someone certified through the American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC).  Visit their locater page and find someone with the CMI or CMC certifications.  The CMC (Certified Microbial Consultant) certification requires 8 years of experience and is the most prestigious designation they offer for mold consulting.  You’ll find that Ian Cull of Indoor Sciences in one of the few CMC’s in the entire Chicagoland area.
