Mold inspections — moisture mapped, lab confirmed.
A real mold assessment is more than a visual walk-through. We map moisture sources, sample where it matters, run analysis at an AIHA-LAP lab, and produce a remediation work plan that holds up under DOH or court scrutiny.
What's in scope.
Below is the standard scope for an Envirex mold inspections engagement. We size the project to the building — line-item, fixed-fee — and write the quote against this catalog.
Site walk & intake.Interview occupants, identify complaint history, photograph affected and adjacent areas, identify moisture-vulnerable assemblies.
Moisture mapping.Pin and non-invasive moisture meters, thermal imaging where appropriate, and dew-point analysis to identify hidden water intrusion.
Surface sampling.Tape-lift or swab samples from visibly affected materials, sent under chain-of-custody to an AIHA-LAP lab for spore-type identification.
Air sampling.Indoor and outdoor (control) bioaerosol cassettes to compare indoor spore loads to baseline — a key indicator of hidden growth.
Written work plan.A NYS Article 32-compliant remediation work plan: scope, containment, clearance criteria and timeline — handed to your contractor.
Regulatory framework.
Every Envirex engagement is run against the regulator who will ultimately read the report. Here are the rules that shape mold inspections work in New York.
NYS Article 32 / DOL Part 945.Mold assessment licensing. Envirex holds an active NYS DOH Mold Assessor license.
NYS ICR Title 12 Part 945.Industry Code Rule for mold work plans and remediation.
ANSI/IICRC S520.Standard for professional mold remediation — referenced in work plans.
HPD & DOH.Where the inspection supports a violation closure, the report is formatted for filing.
Best suited for.
Tenant complaints, post-leak verification, real-estate diligence, school and healthcare facilities, insurance claims.
What you receive.
Written assessment report and remediation work plan in 3–5 business days (faster on lab-rush).
