Water Damage & Drinking Water Assessments

Whether you're dealing with water infiltration from a storm, a plumbing leak, or other water source, or you're concerned about the drinking water in your home or office, there are many reasons to have the water tested. While water is essential for life, when in excess it may cause damage to your building; and when contaminated, water can pose a risk to occupants' health. This is why it is so important to have an assessor who is competent, accredited, and who does not practice a conflict of interest. You get all of that and more with Gulf Coast IAQ. 

What do our water quality assessments include?

  • Preliminary assessment(s) for background information. 
  • Determination of the presence and extent of contamination (e.g., the Category of water damage in your home or office).
  • Moisture mapping.
  • Data-driven analysis.
  • Detailed reporting with annotated photographs, diagram(s), key findings, corrective action plan (i.e., protocol for mold remediation), resources, and much more. 
  • Utilization of college-educated, accredited, and certified professionals, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. 
  • Clear communication and post-reporting consultations.

What Sets Us Apart?

  1. No conflict-of-interest. One of the largest problems facing property owners and managers today has to do with fraud performed by restoration and  remediation companies and public adjusters who perform their own water quality assessments. Because Gulf Coast Center for Indoor Air Quality Services and all employees have no interests in other business or service ventures, you can trust the impartial, thorough, unbiased assessment services that you receive to be defensible and ethical.
  2. Communication and details. We believe in providing more than just a presence/absence report. We provide details that empower you through a process of remediation to successful conclusion. This cannot be accomplished with a cut-and-paste approach to water quality assessment. Specificity is only provided when your needs are understood and the assessment is geared to address those concerns. Furthermore, our assessors are available to consult you after the assessment report is completed and, with your permission, can consult your restoration and remediation contractors to aid in the successful remediation of your home or office.
  3. Qualifications and Protocols. Most water quality assessors and industrial hygienists have no real world experience managing or performing remediation; they have no practical knowledge of remediation practices. As a result, they lack the ability to provide clear, comprehensive corrective action plans (i.e., protocols for remediation). This leads to conflicts, complications, limitations, even denial of insurance coverage due to poor performance on the assessor's part. Gulf Coast Center for Indoor Air Quality Services goes through an on-going peer-review process to remain accredited in indoor environmental remediation supervision. It's these qualifications that makes our protocols some of the best in the industry.
  4. Hazard and Risk Assessments. Most assessment companies perform hazard assessments to determine whether a contaminant (e.g., mold) is present in a home or office. While this provides some useful information, sometimes more is necessary. For example, in some cases there are building occupants who are experiencing symptoms within a building that they rarely experience anywhere else, and there's a question whether the contaminant is causing those symptoms. In such cases, a hazard assessment is not enough to answer their needs. With a background in occupational safety and health, Gulf Coast IAQ can work with your doctor by providing a risk assessment to aid in understanding the relationship between you and the water quality.

"Water damaged building materials breed not only mold, but also bacteria that can wreck your health. The air you breathe is so very very important.


"Jason has the credentials to win in court, equipment, and knowledge/ experience to diagnose building issues and make the best plan to have them fixed. Do NOT take advice from remediation companies. Hiring Jason will save you in the long run! He can make the best plan so you don’t get swindled into unnecessary work, or you don’t pay for incomplete work that just ends up doing nothing- or even worse, kicks up /spreads nasty pathogens without proper engineering controls containment."

Dr. Kristen Walton

"Jason is by far the most genuine and morally grounded hygienist in the industry. Not even to include the massive and extensive knowledge as well as a great number of years experience he has in his respective field!!!" 

Michael Crowell, Disaster Restoration & Heating and Air Conditioning Professional

It is nice when people do what they say they're going to do! Jason arrived on time and explained what he was doing so we could understand. The report he provided was detailed and again, understandable. Very positive experience and highly recommended.
