Moisture Consultants, located in Santa Rosa, California, offer moisture, mold, odor & indoor air quality investigations and consultation services for your property. Our ability to determine the cause of moisture intrusion, mold, odor and/or indoor air quality issues in your structure will help to remove a potential source of illness from your home or business, and will help protect your investment.
Our Investigation
First, we use high-tech moisture detection equipment, infrared thermal imaging cameras, and structural knowledge to determine the cause of the moisture and/or mold problems. Using these instruments help in determining if the moisture was simply caused by condensation or there is a more serious problem.
We then use our particle counter at no extra cost (if necessary and approved by you) to check the air quality of your home or property. The results of this test may lead to our recommendation that additional air quality testing be done for the specific types of particles that we find by an Indoor Environmental Professional.
Protecting Your Structure
Removing moisture sources also involves structural issues, such as keeping your siding safe or diverting your gutters. Once the problem and source is determined, we will present different solutions to the problem.
Our Costs
The charge for our initial moisture investigation is $250.00. Extra charges are involved if you wish air quality testing or require a written report, or for mileage and drive time if the site of the investigation is more than 1 hour from our office. Depending on these factors and the severity of your situation, total costs can range from $250.00 to $350.00 for the intial investigation. We will perform a Dust Particle Air Qualtiy test at no additional charge. However, if it is necessary to have Indoor Air Quality Testing performed we will refer you to an Indoor Air Quality Associaiton professional. This type of air quality testing will cost $550 and upwards depending on the number of samples required. Of course, if further investigation is required, i.e destructive testing, water testing, etc., the cost will increase.

Advice on Moisture, Mold & Indoor Air Quality
In some cases, you don't necessarily need to test for moisture or mold depending on the air quality and/or the severity and/or cause of the mold. Most mold problems aren't as bad as you might think. For example, if you see mold growing on your shower ceiling, installing an exhaust fan over your bathtub could resolve the issue. If you don't correct the cause of the mold, any money you spend on remediation will be wasted. Many times we can give you the necessary advice to remove the mold yourself and/or correct the source of the problem without spending unecessary money hiring a remediation company or general contractor.
