Code of Ethics:

In accordance with , the Indoor Air Quality Association and the American Indoor Air Quality Council code of ethics ; we investigate for mold/microbials/allergens/radon/asbestos only, therefore we do not offer to correct our findings, nor do we have any financial relationship with remediation companies, real estate or insurance companies.
