Find the moisture. Fix the cause. Breathe easier.

An indoor environmental consultant investigates why a building has a moisture, mold or air quality problem and writes a plan to correct it. Conroy Indoor Environmental Consulting uses thermal imaging, moisture mapping and sampling where warranted to find the source of the problem, documents the findings in a plain-language report, and specifies what a contractor should do about it. The consultant does not perform the repair.

A mold assessor investigates, tests and writes the remediation protocol. A mold remediator performs the physical removal and cleanup. In Florida, both are licensed under Florida Statute 468 Part XVI, and the law prohibits the same company from assessing and remediating the same project. Mike Conroy holds both Florida licenses and works only as the assessor, so his findings are independent of who gets paid to do the work.

No. Conroy Indoor Environmental Consulting provides assessment, protocols, verification and consulting only. Mike Conroy’s company, Expert Dry, Inc., performed water damage drying and mold remediation on the Gulf Coast for more than 24 years, and that hands-on experience informs every assessment. Today the physical work is done by the contractor you choose, with Conroy serving as the independent assessor on the project.

Usually not. A free mold inspection is most often a sales visit from a company that profits if it finds something to remove, so the result tends to be a large, unnecessary tear-out. An independent assessment costs money because it is the product. You receive documented findings, a written plan and the freedom to hire anyone to do the work, including no one if the problem turns out to be minor.

A Post-Remediation Verification is an independent inspection, often with sampling, performed after mold remediation to confirm the work was completed to the protocol and the space is ready for occupancy. Insurance carriers, property managers, condo associations and buyers frequently require a PRV report before closing a claim, releasing payment or reoccupying a unit. Conroy provides PRV reports for contractors and property owners across the Gulf Coast.

General contractors and restoration companies who need written protocols and PRVs, insurance carriers and adjusters who need to establish scope and liability, realtors with a listing or buyer concerned about mold, condo associations and property managers with recurring water intrusion, facility directors at schools, churches and healthcare buildings, and homeowners dealing with mold-related illness who want answers rather than a sales pitch.

Wet building materials are usually cooler than dry ones because of evaporation. A thermal imaging camera shows those temperature differences across walls, ceilings and floors, which points to leaks, condensation and water intrusion that are invisible to the eye. Thermal imaging is non-invasive, so large areas can be surveyed quickly without opening walls, and suspected areas are then confirmed with a moisture meter.

A written report in plain language that explains what was found, where the moisture is coming from, photos and thermal images, any sampling results, and a clear set of next steps. For contractors and insurers the report includes a remediation protocol or scope that can be bid and verified. For homeowners it is a document you can hand to a contractor, insurer or physician.
