Mould & Indoor Air Quality

Probably two of the most talked about concerns of late deal with mould in buildings and the quality of indoor air.

Mould has certain needs if it is to take hold. It needs organic material like paper products (e.g. books, drywall, cardboard boxes) or wood (e.g. studs, joists) to feed on. In addition, it also needs moisture. For example, water can penetrate into a building through a leaky roof or a crack in the foundation wall. Perhaps condensation has formed in a cold cellar or from opening basement windows in the summer.

HOME INSPECTIONS

Reduce the stress.

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest decisions of your life! With all that's at stake, it's crucial that you're fully aware of the condition of the major systems and components before you buy.

A Grassroots® Inspection is an objective examination of your prospective building and/or property to assure you that its condition meets with your approval before you close your real estate transaction.

COMMERCIAL INSPECTIONS

No one likes surprises.

Whether you own, are about to lease, or, are purchasing a building, don't wait to find out what condition the building's systems & components are in.

Knowing the condition of a building will allow you to budget more accurately and provide for expenditures down the road -- whether it's a new roof, HVAC or simply maintenance related items.

ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTIONS

It affects us all.

Today, more and more people are concerned about our environment. It affects us all…at home, at work or simply everywhere you go. Naturally, there are the health concerns that stem from environmental issues, but there’s also a financial side to it as well. It includes the potential healthcare costs for individuals, employees, employers and the likes, as well as the financial liability and responsibility for those responsible for the creation and clean-up relating to those environmental concerns.
