Water Damage In Orlando?

Expect the UNEXPECTED

Have you had a pipe break, an appliance leak, or dealt with leaks and flooding from a hurricane? We come inspect areas affected by water and provide evidence to the extent of the damage. We confirm moisture levels of the affected materials and look for evidence of mold propagation.

A water damage assessment guides contractors on how to restore your building. All of our assessments are customized to meet your needs, but a general guide is listed below.

Water Damage | Visual Inspection

Our visual inspection is the first and most important step to identify a possible contamination. In this step, the extent of any water damage and mold growth is assessed. Ventilation systems should also be checked, particularly for damp filters, but also for damp conditions and overall cleanliness in the system. Ceiling tiles, gypsum wallboard (sheetrock), cardboard, paper, and other cellulosic surfaces should be given careful attention during a visual inspection for mold growth. This assessment is important to determine recommended remedial strategies.

Water Damage | Laboratory Sampling

Our experts will collect samples for laboratory analysis. These may include:

Air Samples: Samples of the air are collected to determine if hidden sources of mold are present in the building. The simplest type is called the “spore trap technique” in which a known quantity of air is drawn across a sticky surface. Spores in the air then adhere to the sticky surface.

Bulk/Surface Sampling: A piece of the building material or furnishing suspected of housing mold growth is cut out and sent to a laboratory by one of our experts. The sample will either be inspected under a microscope or cultured in a growth medium. Bulk samples are collected from visibly moldy surfaces by scraping or cutting materials with a clean tool into a clean plastic bag. Surface samples are collected by wiping a measured area with a sterile swab or by stripping the suspect surface with clear tape. Surface sampling is less destructive than bulk sampling.

Dust Collection Samples: Samples of settled dust are sometimes collected to see how much and what types of fungi are in the dust.

Tape Lift Sample: A piece of cellophane tape is placed on a surface containing discoloration that is suspected to be mold. A trained mycologist using a microscope is a laboratory can confirm the sample.

Wipe or “Swab” Samples: The investigator wipes a smooth surface with a cotton swab which is then placed in a growth media.
