Beyond the physical structure, our inspections cover the environmental health of the home. Here is the risk profile for Cleveland:
Radon Levels: The local risk level is considered High. We strongly recommend testing, as radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer.

Dealing with a musty smell or sudden allergies? Hidden mold may be the culprit, impacting both your health and your property's value. Our experts in Cleveland specialize in air and surface sampling to detect invisible spores and evaluate your IAQ.

Surface mold is just the tip of the iceberg. Since you breathe the air, not the walls, air quality testing is the most important step in any mold inspection.
