MICROBIOLOGICAL SERVICES

ACM Engineering & Environmental Services is a leader in mold identification, project design & remediation management.

Microbial Contamination

Catastrophic water or moisture damage and improper building construction or repairs can often trap moisture on the surface of, within or behind walls, ceilings, flooring or ductwork, creating a breeding ground for potentially toxic mold. Unless this moisture is addressed in a thorough and timely manner, even new buildings can become a hazardous environment. Mold can also damage furnishings, destroy wood, drywall, sheet rock, carpeting, insulation materials, etc. and compromise the structural integrity of a building.
Potential Health Hazards

Various types of mold have been suspected of causing medical problems such as; allergic reactions, respiratory tract irritation, hypersensitivity, yeast infections and aspergillosis.
Inspection / Assessment

ACM performs an in-depth inspection to identify and sample areas of possible mold contamination. We also obtain air and surface samples for mold identification and quantification. ACM's inspection teams use specialized, state of the art equipment to view and access areas such as elevator shafts, ductwork, airshafts and voids behind walls, ceilings or raised floors, to locate hidden contamination. All inspectors adhere to The State of Texas regulations concerning mold assessments.
Project Design, Remediation Protocol, Clearances & Management Services

ACM has proven that no mold project design and/or management remediation project is too large or small for us to undertake. Our expertise and skills ensure that microbial contamination remediation will be controlled in a safe and cost effective manner that minimizes damage to a facility and its occupants. ACM brings innovative techniques and large forces of experienced staff to design and manage remediation projects. All ACM Remediation Protocols comply with The State of Texas regulatory requirements for mold remediation design and clearance.
