336-373-1538ESG's mold assessments go beyond sample collection. We use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and building science expertise to investigate why mold is growing in the areas we can access, and what it is likely to take to correct it at the source. We assess. We never remediate.
Mold is almost always a moisture problem. Without identifying the source, cleanup efforts often prove temporary. ESG's assessment investigates the likely root cause so repairs can target the actual problem.
Surface cleanup without identifying the moisture source often leads to recurring mold growth. The underlying leak, condensation issue, or humidity problem continues to feed new growth.
A written report documents the moisture sources identified, the observed extent of suspect growth, and remediation guidance, so the right contractor does the right work. A detailed remediation protocol can be provided when needed.
ESG's mold assessments use multiple diagnostic tools, combining visual inspection of accessible areas, instrumented measurements, and laboratory sampling when needed.
Environmental Solutions Group has been providing building science and environmental consulting services for 23+ years, since 2002. Unlike companies that assess and remediate, ESG does only one thing on the assessment side: give you an honest read on the conditions we observe and measure.
ESG is an independent third-party testing and consulting company and does not perform remediation. This separation helps reduce financial conflicts between evaluation and corrective work. Our role is to document what we find, explain what it means, and provide a written remediation protocol when one is needed, so you can hire any qualified contractor with confidence.
ESG can also perform post-remediation verification (PRV) testing after cleanup is complete, independently evaluating the designated remediation area against applicable clearance criteria at the time of inspection.

An ESG inspector investigates the accessible areas of the building: visual inspection, moisture readings, thermal imaging, environmental measurements, and air or surface sampling as needed.
Any collected samples are sent to accredited third-party laboratories for analysis. Results are integrated with on-site measurements to build a clearer picture of the conditions evaluated.
You receive a written report covering the moisture sources identified, the observed extent of suspect growth, and remediation guidance, with a detailed protocol when needed. An ESG professional walks you through every finding.
A mold assessment is a broader investigation of accessible building conditions that looks at why mold is growing and what it is likely to take to correct it, not just whether it exists.
Mold testing measures what is in the air or on surfaces. It is valuable for documentation and baseline data, but it does not diagnose building problems or guide repairs.
Independence is the foundation of every assessment report we deliver. Here is what stands behind ESG's work.
Mold testing collects samples to identify what types of mold are present and at what levels. A mold assessment is a broader building investigation: it looks at why mold is growing, where the moisture is coming from, how far contamination may have spread, and what repairs are likely needed. Testing may be included as part of an assessment.
No, and that is a critical distinction. ESG provides only independent assessments and consulting. We never perform remediation, which helps reduce financial conflicts between evaluation and corrective work. We develop the remediation protocol and can independently evaluate the completed work through post-remediation verification (PRV) testing, but the cleanup itself is done by a contractor of your choosing.
Our assessments use moisture meters to measure water content inside building materials, thermal imaging cameras to locate hidden moisture behind walls and ceilings, humidity and temperature instruments, and particle monitoring equipment. Air and surface samples are collected when needed and analyzed by accredited third-party laboratories.
When remediation is necessary, ESG provides a written remediation protocol that outlines the proper scope of cleanup, containment requirements, removal procedures, and clearance criteria, developed in accordance with ANSI/IICRC S520 mold remediation guidelines. This document guides contractors and sets clear criteria for the work.
If you need basic documentation about mold presence (for a real estate transaction, insurance claim, or baseline understanding), mold testing may be sufficient. If mold keeps recurring, you suspect a larger moisture problem, you experienced water damage, or you need to understand the likely scope before remediation, a mold assessment is the right service.
Yes. After remediation work is completed, ESG can perform post-remediation verification (PRV) testing, independently evaluating the designated remediation area against applicable visual, moisture, odor, particle, and laboratory clearance criteria at the time of inspection. This independent clearance evaluation documents the condition of the work area when it is inspected.
Stop guessing. Find the source. ESG's independent assessments give you the building science data you need to make informed decisions and address the problem at its source.
