Our Work
Real projects from our journey documenting environmental health improvements in homes across New England.
Portfolio: Environmental Health Documentation
Through our journey as homeowners documenting environmental health concerns, we’ve researched and documented dozens of mold testing and air quality improvement projects. Each case study reflects our commitment to understanding what makes professional environmental services truly exceptional.
Our documentation focuses on three key areas: identifying potential mold and air quality issues, understanding the professional testing process, and evaluating the results that lead to healthier indoor environments. We believe in sharing our detailed research to help other homeowners make informed decisions about their home’s environmental health.
Featured Project Documentation
New Hampshire Basement Mold Investigation
Challenge: Musty basement odor after spring flooding
Documentation Process: We researched professional mold testing protocols and documented the entire inspection process, from initial air quality sampling to laboratory analysis of surface samples. The testing revealed elevated mold spore counts and identified specific problem areas requiring remediation.
Results: Comprehensive mold testing report with specific remediation recommendations, followed by successful treatment and clearance testing showing normal spore levels.
Homeowner Feedback: “Finally understood what was happening in our basement. The detailed testing gave us confidence to address the problem properly.”
Massachusetts Home Air Quality Assessment
Challenge: Family members experiencing respiratory symptoms and allergies
Documentation Process: We documented a comprehensive indoor air quality assessment including testing for mold spores, VOCs, particulate matter, and humidity levels throughout the home. The testing identified several air quality concerns related to inadequate ventilation and hidden moisture problems.
Results: Detailed air quality report with actionable recommendations for ventilation improvements and moisture control, leading to measurable improvement in indoor air quality metrics.
Homeowner Feedback: “The thorough air quality testing revealed issues we never would have discovered on our own. Our family’s health has noticeably improved.”
Boston Area Pre-Purchase Mold Inspection
Challenge: First-time homebuyers concerned about potential hidden mold in older property
Documentation Process: We researched the comprehensive pre-purchase mold inspection process, including visual inspection, moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and targeted testing of suspicious areas. The inspection uncovered concealed water damage and active mold growth in the attic and crawlspace.
Results: Detailed inspection report with cost estimates for remediation, enabling buyers to negotiate repairs before closing and avoid a potentially costly mistake.
Homeowner Feedback: “The thorough pre-purchase inspection saved us from buying a house with serious mold problems. Worth every penny for peace of mind.”
Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
Challenge: Verifying successful mold remediation after bathroom water damage
Documentation Process: We documented the post-remediation verification testing process, which included visual inspection, air sampling, and surface testing to confirm that mold levels had returned to normal background levels. This independent testing provided objective verification of the remediation contractor’s work.
Results: Clearance certificate confirming successful remediation with all air and surface samples showing normal mold levels, providing peace of mind and documentation for insurance purposes.
Homeowner Feedback: “Having independent clearance testing gave us confidence that the remediation was done right. No more worries about lingering mold problems.”
Featured Case Study: Comprehensive Environmental Assessment
One of our most extensive documentation projects involved a multi-unit property in Massachusetts where residents were experiencing ongoing health symptoms. We researched and documented the entire environmental investigation process from start to finish, providing valuable insights into how professional testing identifies and resolves complex indoor air quality issues.
The Investigation Process
The investigation began with tenant complaints of persistent musty odors and respiratory symptoms. Professional environmental consultants conducted a phased assessment that included visual inspection, moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and comprehensive air quality testing. This systematic approach identified hidden water intrusion issues and resulting mold growth in wall cavities and HVAC systems.
What impressed us most was the methodical documentation at each phase. Initial air sampling established baseline mold spore levels significantly above normal outdoor reference levels. Invasive inspection confirmed active mold growth behind finished surfaces. Material testing identified specific mold species present, informing the remediation strategy.
Documentation and Results
The comprehensive environmental report detailed all findings with supporting photographs, laboratory results, and specific remediation recommendations. This documentation proved invaluable for coordinating repairs, managing insurance claims, and ensuring proper remediation protocols were followed.
Post-remediation clearance testing confirmed successful restoration of normal indoor air quality. Follow-up assessments six months later showed no recurrence of problems, validating the effectiveness of the recommended repairs and moisture management improvements.
Key Lessons Learned
- Professional testing is essential – Visual inspection alone cannot identify all mold issues or assess air quality
- Comprehensive documentation matters – Detailed reports enable effective remediation planning and verify successful completion
- Independent verification protects everyone – Third-party testing provides objective assessment separate from remediation contractors
- Address root causes – Testing must identify underlying moisture problems, not just treat symptoms
- Follow-up testing confirms success – Clearance testing and periodic reassessment ensure long-term resolution
Understanding the Mold Remediation Process
This educational video demonstrates the step-by-step professional mold remediation process, helping homeowners understand what to expect when addressing mold issues in their homes.
Professional mold remediation follows established protocols to ensure safe and effective treatment. The process typically includes containment setup, HEPA air filtration, careful removal of contaminated materials, antimicrobial treatment, and thorough cleaning. Understanding these steps helps homeowners evaluate contractor proposals and set appropriate expectations.
