Define the Question
Start with what remains unknown—not a preset test package.
Rob reviews the water history, odors, visible growth, health-related concerns, previous testing, contractor proposals and the decision the client needs to make.
Investigate the Building
Spend the time needed to understand the source and likely extent.
More than 20 years of building experience informs the evaluation of roofing, drainage, plumbing, wall and floor assemblies, crawlspaces, attics, basements and repairs.
Evaluate HVAC and Air Pathways
Look beyond the room where growth was first seen.
Condensate, coils, filtration, return pathways, supply pathways and pressure relationships are considered when evidence suggests broader distribution.
Test With a Purpose
Use air, surface or dust testing to answer what visual inspection cannot.
Every sample should support a defined question: identity, comparison, distribution, hidden concern, broader settled material or verification.
Define the Right Work
Connect the source, affected materials, laboratory evidence and project sequence.
The report distinguishes confirmed findings, likely conditions and remaining uncertainty, then defines source correction, remediation and reconstruction priorities.
Verify Independently
Do not let the contractor be the only party declaring the job complete.
Tune My Space can return before reconstruction to review the scope, moisture, cleanliness and appropriate clearance testing.
Tune My Space
The investigation is the paid professional service.
- Time to understand the building
- Testing selected around unanswered questions
- HVAC and hidden pathways considered
- Contractor-neutral scope
- Independent verification after cleanup
Remediation Estimate
The assessment supports a proposal for work.
- Investigation time may be limited
- Testing may not be available or well matched
- Each company may define a different scope
- HVAC may be outside the contractor’s service
- Completion may be self-evaluated
Testing is central—but never blind
Many assessments include air, surface or dust testing because investigation alone can leave important questions unanswered. Rob explains what each sample is intended to establish and interprets the result in the context of the building.
