Mold Assessments
Do you see mold,
smell mold or see wet building materials? Has
there been a roof leak, pipe break or flood that
has affected your building? If so, you will want
to know if there are any issues regarding the
health of the people because molds have been
linked to specific symptoms and diseases such
as allergic responses or pathogenic effects,
as well as potential liability. |

1Source Safety and Health has addressed mold and bacterial
contamination, growth and amplification in various
settings including educational facilities, hospitals,
commercial buildings and homes. Our experts have
the experience to identify where visible and non-visible
mold is growing and amplifying. |
| "We
have hired 1Source for cause
and origin assistance, preliminary
and clearance testing for the
presence of mold, and for help
with damage remediation. In
each situation, 1Source, and
in particular, Harry Neill,
CIH, has professionally and
capably handled the situation.
Harry always explains the science
involved, often diffuses myths
and calmly keeps all parties
informed along the way." |
