When Do You Need a Lead, Asbestos, or Mold Assessment?

Asbestos, mold, and lead can lead to serious health issues for the inhabitants of your property. If left to spread, mold can also cause structural damage to the building itself, further endangering anyone who spends time inside. Finding potential hazards in your building is never fun, but there are many reasons to get the assessments sooner rather than later:


  • Protect People's Health: Mold, lead, and asbestos all cause serious long-term health issues if they are left to spread. Preserve public health by conducting regular inspections to detect the problem.
  • Prevent Structural Damage: Mold in particular can present a serious threat to your building's structure. It's vital to address it as soon as you know it's there and take action to prevent further growth. Regular mold inspections on a regular basis can help catch an infestation.
  • Save Money: Scheduled assessments can help save you money in costly emergency repairs, lawsuits, and fines. If we find an issue, it will generally be smaller, easier, and cheaper to repair than if it's left to grow.
  • Remain Compliant: In some cases, you might be legally required to have an environmental site assessment performed. Scheduling an assessment ensures that you adhere to regulations enforced by the EPA, OSHA, and other organizations.
  • Protect Against Lawsuits: If mold, lead, or asbestos is left to grow in your building and someone develops health issues, you could potentially be held liable. This leaves you vulnerable to potential lawsuits, so performing an assessment can help protect everyone's health, especially if you're planning on remodeling and disrupting building materials in your property.

Signs You Need a Lead Assessment

  • Water Supply Concerns: If your property has older plumbing systems or if you are concerned about the quality of your drinking water, it might be a good idea to get a lead assessment. Lead can leach into water from pipes, faucets, and fixtures, making it more risky to drink.
  • Young Children: Lead exposure is particularly dangerous for young children as it can cause developmental delays, learning disabilities, and other health issues. If you have children younger than the age of six frequently spending time in your home, it’s a good idea to test for lead.
  • Renovations or Repairs: If you are planning to renovate or repair your property, especially in areas that have painted surfaces, it is smart to get a lead assessment.

Signs You Need a Mold Assessment

Mold grows in damp and humid environments and can cause a range of health issues, including allergies, respiratory problems, and even infections. If you suspect that mold might be present in your home or commercial property, it’s important to act quickly by assessing the situation properly. Here are some signs that indicate you may need a mold assessment:


  • Visible Mold: The most obvious sign that you need a mold assessment is the presence of visible mold growth. Mold can appear as black, green, or brown patches on walls, ceilings, floors, or other surfaces. It may also have a fuzzy or slimy texture. If you notice any signs of mold growth, it is crucial to get a professional assessment to determine the extent of the problem and identify the type of mold that is present. Our team has the knowledge and equipment to get the job done.
  • Musty Odor: Mold generally produces a distinct musty odor. If you notice a persistent, unpleasant smell in your home or commercial building, especially in areas that are prone to moisture, it could be an indication of hidden mold growth. A mold assessment can help identify the source of the odor and determine whether mold is present.
  • Water Damage or Excessive Moisture: If your property has experienced water damage from leaks, floods, or plumbing issues, it creates a favorable environment for mold growth. Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours of water exposure, so it is crucial to get a mold assessment if you have had any ongoing water-related incidents. You should also consider getting an assessment if you’ve had issues with ongoing humidity or excessive moisture.
  • Allergies or Health Issues: Mold can trigger symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, and skin irritation. If you or your family members experience unexplained allergic reactions or persistent respiratory issues that improve when you leave the property, it could be a sign of mold exposure. A mold assessment can help identify the cause.



By remaining vigilant to any warning signs and getting a prompt mold assessment, you can identify and address potential mold issues in your home or building. Our team is ready to help. Contact us today!
