INSPECTION OVERVIEW
We provide a thorough 3-5 hour home inspection, depending on the property size. Our process covers all accessible areas, including attics, basements, garages, and crawlspaces. Included in your customized home-inspection, are the following:
- Initial Interview: We start with a discussion to understand the reasons for the assessment, any symptoms being experienced, the building’s history, and a review of relevant documents such as previous test results, past water damage, remediation efforts, or any other pertinent history.
- Moisture Readings: We use both pinless (Tramex) and pinned moisture meters to measure moisture levels throughout the home, focusing on all surfaces and material types.
- Thermal Imaging: A full infrared scan is performed to identify potential hidden moisture issues, “hot spots,” or other temperature related issues.
- Borescope Inspection: We use an extended camera to thoroughly examine hard-to-reach areas, including behind walls, under sinks, behind plumbing, inside ducts, and more.
- HVAC System Assessment: We inspect all accessible components of your HVAC system, plenums, including the blower fan, AC coil compartments, and return/supply ducts.
- Documentation: Photos and videos are taken throughout the inspection to visually support our findings and recommendations. Video documentation helps clarify and contextualize any concerns.
Testing Services
We follow a strategic, purpose-driven testing process, using specific interpretation metrics. Our approach ensures that testing aligns with your goals and budget, avoiding unnecessary expenses. We may also recommend that clients collect their own MSQPCR dust samples (e.g., ERMI or EMMA tests) as a cost-effective option for additional data points.
- Included Tests: 4 tests (air or swab/tape) are included as needed.
- Lab Results: Typically received within 5-7 business days (rush service available for an additional $150 for 3-day results).
- Additional Tests: $75 for each extra air or swab sample beyond the initial 4
REPORT & REMEDIATION PROTOCOL
With your Melrose Mold Solutions Inspection, you will receive a comprehensive written report, including detailed findings, photos, and recommendations from the inspection.
Report Highlights:
- Site-Specific Remediation Protocol: Developed according to the IICRC S520 Mold Remediation Standard, our protocols outline necessary steps for effective remediation, tailored to your home’s unique needs.
- Prioritization of Recommendations: We focus on addressing the most critical areas to improve overall indoor air quality and health. Our goal is to recommend targeted, effective investments rather than unnecessary, costly, or overly extreme measures.
Additional Support & Consulting
Included with your inspection is our Tier 3 “All In” coaching bundle (a $1,000 value), which offers:
- Professional Vetting: Assistance in helping you select qualified remediators or other professionals who may be needed in the process.
- Follow up Guidance: Ongoing support throughout the remediation process, ensuring you navigate "The Mold Timeline" smoothly—no additional fees for follow-up communications. (Many inspection companies charge extra for protocols or do not provide additional support as we believe it should).
