Environmental Testing & Home Inspection Services in Portland, OR | Environmental Testing Associates

Our mold inspection is a thorough, scientific assessment of your property, including visual inspection, air sampling, and surface testing if needed. As an independent testing company, we do not perform remediation, so our results are unbiased. We follow IAC2 standards and provide a detailed report with lab results. This helps you make informed decisions without the conflict of interest that can occur when a remediation company also does the testing.

A visible water stain often indicates moisture intrusion, which can lead to hidden mold growth behind walls or ceilings. We use tools like moisture meters and infrared thermography to detect damp areas without damaging your property. We then take air samples to compare indoor and outdoor mold spore levels. This helps determine if mold is actively growing and if further action, like remediation, is needed. We serve neighborhoods across Portland, including near the Pearl District and Hawthorne.

Attic condensation is a frequent issue in Portland's climate, especially in older homes. It occurs when warm, moist air from living spaces rises into a cold attic, leading to moisture buildup on rafters and insulation. This can promote mold growth and structural damage. Our inspection includes a thorough attic assessment using infrared thermography to identify moisture patterns. We can test for mold and provide a report with recommendations for ventilation improvements or remediation. We serve areas like Mount Tabor, the Alberta Arts District, and beyond.
