“Spoke to Bryce. Genuine guy, gives tips even if you don't use their service. Nuff said. He even recommends a competitor if he thinks some services they offer is more appropriate with client's needs. You tell him what you need, he gives you the right answer within his professional/moral view. Rare breed of honest pros. Highly recommended.”
“Bryce has always done an outstanding job for me. Always finds creative solutions to practical problems and gets the job done right the first time.”
“EnviroPure is a fantastic technology employed by fantastic people who value quality work, integrity, and customer health and satisfaction. Our experience with EnviroPure was wonderful. We had a leaking pipe that was hidden behind walls that we discovered when mold started to grow in a visible location but when we investigated the issue we found that the mold spanned 2 levels and several rooms in our home. We did a combination of physical mold removal for step 1 in remediation but knowing that it was already in our air and impossible to truly get it all like that, we followed that up with EnviroPure's services before putting drywall back up and fixing the mess. Bryce was awesome about scheduling and was easy to work with every step of the way. He is a trustworthy resource in a very confusing industry and will not sell you on something that is not a good fit for you. I would recommend this service to anyone who wants to feel better about the air quality in their home, anyone who is renting a home or buying a home that is not brand new... very helpful in so many circumstances. Grateful we found EnviroPure!”
“Bryce was very friendly and took time to explain the process to me. He was responsive to questions and phone calls. Most importantly, he showed up when he said he would and did a great job. Thank you!”
“My wife had the pleasure of working with Mr. Bryce for a remediation project. We had come to know that he is honest with a genuine will to help you and guide you through a hard process such as mold remediation. Glad we got in contact with you Mr Bryce, thank you!”
You see the lab numbers and the written report before you make any decision about treatment.
The consultation and visual inspection are free, and when the inspection confirms visible mold, you get an estimate.
We take air samples before treatment and after it, and an accredited third-party lab with no affiliation to EnviroPure analyzes them. Air and tape results usually come back in 2 to 3 business days.
Spore count per cubic meter and genus for each sample, set against outdoor and baseline samples. It's written in plain language, and the copy is yours.
The visit stays on where the moisture comes from and what the lab finds.
Moisture mapping shows which rooms run humid and which materials are wet. That finds the moisture source, and the lab report covers the mold.
The Virginia Department of Health says it "does not have the capability to provide environmental testing or remediation for mold problems," so testing a house in Virginia falls to private firms. An inspection finds the moisture, and a lab test measures the mold.
Mold Testing answers a narrow question: is mold present, and what kind? An air or tape sample goes to the lab, and the report gives the genus and the spore count.
Air Quality Testing measures humidity room by room first, then compares air samples from the rooms in question with a sample of the outdoor air.
On-site inspection
A mold inspection and a home inspection are separate jobs. In Virginia, home inspection is a trade licensed by DPOR, and a home inspector's contract may list mold among its exclusions. Mold inspection on its own is not a licensed occupation in the state.
Ours looks for the moisture as well as the mold. We take humidity readings room by room and moisture readings in walls, floors and framing to find leaks, wet materials and rooms without enough ventilation. When the worry sits in one part of the house, we run a focused visit: Attic Mold Inspection, Basement Mold Inspection, Bathroom Mold Inspection or Crawl Space Mold Inspection.
The right sample depends on what you need to know. Call us and we'll talk through which one fits before anyone comes out.
A spore trap draws a measured volume of air through a cassette. The lab counts the spores it catches, living or not, and reports them per cubic meter by genus.
Captured spores are grown on a Petri dish at the lab. Only living spores grow, so a culture shows which molds in the sample are viable.
A tape lift or dust sample comes from the stain or surface in question. The independent lab looks for spores and names the genus.
Lab report
For each sample, the lab gives a spore count per cubic meter and the genus of what it found. An indoor count means little on its own, so the report sets it beside the outdoor and baseline samples. Expect air and tape results from the lab in 2 to 3 business days.
If you go ahead with VaPURE treatment, the home is vacant while we treat, and most families are back the same evening. Post-Remediation Clearance Testing then sends a fresh set of air samples to the same lab, so the before and after numbers come from one source.
Call us and we'll talk through next steps and the earliest visit we can offer.
