You may not need another test, inspection, product, or contractor.

You need someone who can help you determine what's happening, what matters, and what to do next.

I help homeowners, businesses, attorneys, physicians, and other professionals understand and solve indoor environmental and building problems—and avoid expensive solutions to the wrong problem.

What Can I Help You With?

Mold is one of the most common problems I investigate. Some indoor environmental and building problems overlap, or turn out not to be mold problems at all.

Mold & Moisture
Mold investigations, remediation questions, test interpretation, hidden moisture, post-remediation concerns.

Indoor Air Quality
Odors, VOCs, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, particulates, dust, gas leaks, ventilation and other air-quality concerns.

EMFs & Environmental Exposures
Electromagnetic fields, radiation, and unusual environmental exposure questions.

Buildings & Construction
Ventilation (ERV/HRV), HVAC, new construction, construction defects, moisture control and building-related health concerns.

Expert Review & Difficult Problems
Contractor recommendations, conflicting opinions, reports and test results, expert-witness matters, and problems where you're simply not sure what to investigate next.

Don't see your problem listed? That's okay. Some of the most useful consultations begin with figuring out what kind of problem you're actually dealing with.

About This Service

I approach indoor environmental and building problems as an engineer and investigator.

Rather than beginning with a particular test, product, or contractor, I start by asking:

What problem are we actually trying to solve?

Depending on the situation, that may involve building science, moisture diagnostics, indoor air quality, laboratory results, EMFs, ventilation, construction, or simply determining which questions need to be answered before spending more money.

My background includes Aerospace Engineer,  home builder, indoor environmental investigations, and more than 25 years investigating unusual environmental and building problems. I'm a Board-Certified ACAC Environmental Consultant (CIEC/CMC), best-selling author, and founder of Healthy Living Spaces®.
