• ENVIRONMENTAL & SPECIALIZED INSPECTIONS 

    Some property concerns are easy to see. Others remain hidden behind walls, beneath the ground or inside older building materials.

    A specialized inspection may be needed when buying or selling a property, investigating suspected mold or moisture, checking for a buried oil tank or asbestos, or meeting environmental requirements for a child care facility. Unexplained physical symptoms that seem to improve away from the property may also raise questions about indoor conditions and prompt further investigation.

    Depending on the service, you may receive laboratory results, photographs, documentation and recommendations that clearly explain what was found and any next steps.

    Initial property assessments carry no charge. Mold inspection and lab sampling are separate professional services when lab analysis is appropriate or requested (samples submitted to IMS Laboratory).

     

    MOLD TESTING & MOLD REMEDIATION 

    Visible growth, recurring stains, musty odors and past water damage may indicate a mold or moisture problem. However, appearance alone does not always provide a complete answer. 

    Mold testing and inspection can help determine whether suspected growth is present, how extensive the concern may be and what moisture conditions are contributing to it. 

    Service may include: 

    • Visual inspection 
    • Moisture mapping 
    • Air sampling 
    • Surface testing 
    • Laboratory analysis 
    • Photographs and written findings 
    • Containment and HEPA filtration 
    • Removal of contaminated materials 
    • Post-remediation clearance testing 

    When remediation is required, the affected area is addressed using appropriate containment and cleanup procedures. Recommendations also consider the moisture source so that you are not simply treating the visible symptom but preventing it from returning. 

     

    OIL TANK SWEEP INSPECTIONS & DISCOVERY DIGS 

    A buried or abandoned oil tank can create environmental and financial liabilities, especially when a property is being bought or sold. 

    An oil tank sweep helps determine whether evidence of an underground tank may be present. When necessary, a discovery dig can confirm the location before further decisions are made. 

    Services may include: 

    • Property scanning using specialized equipment 
    • Investigation of suspected tank locations 
    • Discovery digs 
    • Photographic documentation 
    • Soil testing when contamination is suspected 
    • Coordination with licensed tank-removal specialists 

    You receive clearer information about the property before moving forward with a purchase, sale or removal project.  

     

    SEWER-LINE INSPECTIONS 

    Sewer problems can lead to unpleasant odors, backups, contamination and damage to the surrounding property. 

    A Sewer-Line Inspection helps identify concerns with the condition or operation of the system before they become more disruptive or costly. 

    Inspection may include: 

    • Camera inspection 
    • Flow testing 
    • Leak detection 
    • Identification of blockages or damage 
    • Compliance reporting 
    • Recommendations for repair or further investigation 

     

    ASBESTOS TESTING & CLEARANCE 

    Asbestos may be present in insulation, flooring, ceiling materials and other products used in older buildings. Because it cannot be confirmed reliably by appearance, laboratory testing may be needed before renovation, demolition or removal work begins. 

    Services may include: 

    • Inspection of suspected materials 
    • Sample collection 
    • Laboratory analysis 
    • Documentation of results 
    • Clearance inspections following abatement 
    • Coordination with licensed asbestos-removal specialists 

    You receive the information needed to understand whether asbestos is present and what further action may be required. We provide the certified sampling and documentation you need, and connect you with licensed specialists when abatement is required.

     

    CHILD CARE FACILITY ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE 

    Child care facilities must meet strict environmental standards to operate legally and safely. DeFCon Mold & Water provides specialized testing and documentation to help determine whether applicable requirements are being met and whether further work may be needed.

    Services may include: 

    • Mold and moisture testing 
    • Asbestos testing 
    • Lead testing or coordination 
    • Indoor air-quality testing 
    • Water testing 
    • Compliance documentation 
    • Hazard-clearance reports 

    Accurate testing and clear documentation help support a safe environment for children, staff and visitors. 

     

    CLEAR INFORMATION FOR IMPORTANT PROPERTY DECISIONS

    • Buying or selling a property
