Mold Inspection Sciences Launches Mold Tracker Digital Services

Mold Inspection Sciences was created to help homeowners, renters, property managers, and property owners identify and help solve their moisture intrusion and indoor air quality issues. Our mission is simple - to always deliver affordable, professional, and high-quality environmental assessment and testing services. What drives us is our commitment to investing in tools and equipment that always gives us an edge in accuracy and efficiency – an extension of our proven-science based process.

Taking another step forward in this constant effort to remain the best in class, MIS has launched Mold Tracker, a completely paperless system from end to end. Mold Tracker builds on our already cutting-edge technology stack to help us deliver the best possible customer experience and the most accurate and thorough inspection process.

Real-Time Tracking

At Mold Inspection Sciences , our internal office and support systems have been digital for years. In 2020, we committed to bringing the benefits of digital tools – Mold Tracker to our front-line staff - the inspectors in the field who meet our clients and perform investigations on their behalf.

It’s hard to say what comprises a “typical” inspection as each has its own unique characteristics, but on average our inspectors spend two to six hours at a client’s building. Beyond those hours in the field, there are three to four more spent reviewing inspection results, submitting and analyzing laboratory samples and results, compiling reports, and finally reviewing results and recommendations with the client. Our clients see less than half of what makes up an inspection. With Mold Tracker, we are able to reduce the post-inspection time, giving our inspectors the necessary time on-site to conduct the most thorough investigation possible. An inspector can gather unlimited amounts of data and photos for each item or area of concern during an inspection with much of the back end work handled by Mold Tracker.

Keeping Tabs: Laboratory Sample Collection

An essential part of conducting a thorough investigation is collecting laboratory samples. The inspector can track each sample’s location, serial number, type, and any other necessary details directly through Mold Tracker. Once the sampling process is completed, all sample data (known as the Chain of Custody) is electronically transmitted to our laboratory partner, Emlab, where it is validated and accepted. In the case where there may be missing data, the inspector is notified in real-time and can correct while still on-site, ensuring accurate sample and data collection.

Since Mold Tracker gathers and synchronizes data in real-time, an inspector can call on our project managers if there is a question or concern at the time of inspection – even sharing photos and data. This live process ensures nothing is missed during an inspection.
