Water Damage Investigations

Water Damage Investigations Services

We offer 3 services for water damaged buildings

Water Damage Assessment

Our water damage assessments begin with a structural inspection to look for visible signs of water damage, wet building materials, elevated humidity and other conditions caused directly by the water loss. During our structural inspection we identify causation then determine if any mold or bacteria sampling is needed to identify if there is an exposure risk to the building occupants. After we analyze all of our findings, we email our water damage assessment reports to you within 48 hours. Our reports include a summary of our findings, categorization, causation, recommendations, and a water damage restoration protocol. The Water Restoration Protocol is a step by step remediation plan complete with a visual aid floor plan. The protocol will explain what work needs to occur to get the areas cleaned up and remediated properly.

Bacteria Testing

LAQ will take a combination of on-site bacteria samples – air, wipe, and bulk samples – and will offer complete data analysis and interpretation of the cultured samples to determine the possible health risks associated with the contaminated water.

Post Remediation Verification

LAQ also conducts Post Remediation Verification inspections to give you peace of mind that your building has been returned to safe occupancy conditions and proper drying & sanitization has occurred. These inspections may included mold and bacteria testing.

After Water Damage

Testing For Bacteria

To help determine the possible health risks from the water damage, testing for pathogens (disease causing microorganisms) and bacteria such as total coliforms, fecal coliforms and Enterococcus is usually needed, and highly recommended.

Luce Air Quality will take a combination of on-site bacteria samples – air, wipe and bulk samples – and will offer complete data analysis and interpretation of the cultured samples (results usually take 24-48 hours) taken from all areas affected by the contaminated water. Next we will develop recommendations for remediation following the standards set by the IICRC / S500 Standard for Water Damaged Restoration and will do a post water damage restoration assessment to confirm that the water damage restoration was successful so that containment barriers can be taken down and reconstruction can begin.

From Our Clients

Luce Air Quality is the kind of company a customer NEEDS. In the air quality industry, there are many professionals that do a "good" job. But today's customers expect and DESERVE more than average. David and his team at Luce make it a firm commitment to deliver a memorable experience. That starts with the first call for consultation, to setting the expectation to the site visit. They show a fine touch on education and explanation. Indoor air quality can be a vague and sometimes confusing topic. Taking the time to specifically identify needs and customize results is an outstanding deliverable. If you or someone you know are experiencing a disruptive event in your home or business, you would would be far better comforted by knowing an industry leader is on your side. Unsanitary water, mold, hazardous materials, lead, VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). Luce and their team of professionals deal with these daily and can expertly assist in developing a plan to return your treasure back to its previously safe condition.

We used David Luce and Luce Air Quality on highly visible project for the US Gov't. David's performance was outstanding and we will certainly use his services moving forward. I highly recommend Luce Air Quality.
Todd C.
Excellent company to work with! They were very professional throughout the entire process, ready to pick up our phone calls at any time, they were very patient by answering many repetitive and annoying questions from multiple parties involved on the matter. The quality of their reports are excellent! Easy to understand from a customer standpoint/perspective and full of detail unlike other companies I have dealt with that provide 2 short & brief pages on findings and remediation recommendations. We had the results the very next day after the inspection and a remediation plan recommended that successfully resolved our air quality concerns after completion. I will recommend them to anyone who has concerns with their air quality or needs a professional opinion on any microbial growth concern in general. Thank you LAQ!

Excellent! After coming home to find water damage, Luce Air Quality was the first company I called.

Meghan M.
Had an amazing experience with Luce Environmental Testing Services. Dave Luce came from over an hour away and ended up telling me he wasn’t going to waste my money and that my area was visibly not ready for testing. That’s ethics at its best. If anyone has to do any industrial hygiene testing or environmental testing, I highly recommend his services!!
Ashley B.
Dave, owner of Luce Air Quality, inspected a home that my husband and I were putting an offer on and were concerned about parts of it. Dave was a total professional and also saved us THOUSANDS of dollars by finding a serious problem with the home. He wasn't using scare tactics, as he also found some areas that he told us was super easy for us to treat ourselves. Luce Air Quality isn't all about scaring you and making money, you can tell they are total professionals and want to make sure families are safe and knowledgeable. Thank you, Dave & Team! You have a customer for life.

Jennifer R.
Excellent company that provided excellent service. The owners are pleasant, extremely professional and knowledgeable. I was able to get an appointment quickly and that was helpful due to the urgent nature of a mold issue in our home. They took the time to provide a detailed explanation of the process and what we could expect going forward. It's hard to find good people that still want to provide a quality job but Luce Air Quality was exceptional. They communicated promptly regarding our air quality test results and answered all of our questions. I rarely leave reviews, but I felt like this company deserved to be recognized for a job well done! Thanks Dave L. and Dave M. for all your help! I will certainly recommend you in the future to anyone needing your services.
