Indoor Air Quality and Mold Testing

Having a desire to provide our clients a safer, cleaner environment, we chose the NORMI Certified Indoor Air Quality Specialist Program and the NORMI Certified Mold Inspector Program for our training.

The NORMI Certified Mold Inspector (CMI) performs the investigation of Indoor Air Quality / Mold Problems and develops an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Profile for the purpose of recommending, based upon NORMI criteria, either Sanitization or Remediation solutions. NORMI CMI's have demonstrated in-field proficiency in the entire investigative process by completing actual investigations in the field. We understand mold and where to look to find it.

The NORMI Certified Indoor Air Quality Specialist has received extensive training in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) including the technologies used to solve IAQ problems. IAQ is a multi-faceted problem and requires a multi-strategic approach to solving those problems. NORMI Certified Indoor Quality Specialists are familiar with the vertical markets that comprise the IAQ industry as well as specific applications and onsite installation of purification and filtration equipment.

Sturdivant's has a full time NORMI Certified IAQ Specialist, Mold Inspector and Sampling Technician in-house. NORMI Certified program techniques are used as the standard for developing an accurate evaluation of the indoor air quality of an environment.

We understand how to differentiate between "Sanitization" and "Remediation" so that you, the consumer, can be correctly directed toward the proper solution to your Indoor Air Quality issues.

We offer prompt dependable service within a 100-mile radius for all of your mold and indoor air quality needs. With the new NORMI Healthier Home Monitoring and Warranty programs, you can be sure that your home or office is safer and cleaner for you and your family or your staff.

We look forward to serving you and are confident you will be pleased you chose us. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Thank you.

Proof again of the importance of prompt action to prevent mold growth in a disastrous flood plane situation! So often in the past this has gone ignored much to the discomfort of those forced to endure exposure, quite frequently unknowingly.

Here in the NW Arkansas we are very susceptible to mold growth in our homes and apartments. One small unseen leak from a shower pan or a roof leak yet to reveal itself below, a faucet with a leak so small it is absorbed into the insulation without dripping anywhere. These are all things I have seen that only revealed themselves only after the damage was done! Check out the picture below...Prior to stripping the walls, when vanity was removed water was observed standing as deep as the mosaic tiles was thick, hence no one knew water was standing under the vanity. Note: Mold was so thick under tile it was easily scooped up with a shovel!!

Get You house Inspected! You never know until you do!

Stuart Bell is president of Luzerne Products, and the Bell family owns the building. He said the delay in getting that section of the 230,300-square-foot building cleaned out has caused serious problems. Specifically, Bell said mold has formed in the space leased to the General Services Administration and it will take millions of dollars to remediate it. GSA leases 130,000 square feet of the building to store records for the Social Security Administration, Bell said.

Bell said it was GSA and SSA that caused the delay, citing security concerns.

The water-damaged records were still in the building, while other items were being carried out and sprayed by workers from Royal Plus Disaster Kleenup Inc. based in Maryland.
