We identify areas of concern based on employee complaints, visible indicators, HVAC layout, and building history. Sampling plans are tailored to your building's size and complexity.

Surface samples (tape lifts or swabs) are taken from visible growth or suspect materials. Outdoor baseline samples establish normal background levels for comparison.
