Mold growth and amplification and water intrusion are typically associated together. As such, we utilize advanced infrared camera technology to assist in moisture detection. When present in the environment, molds and bacteria have been linked to specific symptoms and diseases. The IAQ professionals at 1Source have addressed mold and bacterial contamination, growth and amplification in various settings including schools, hospitals, commercial buildings and homes.
