Creating Healthier Homes, One Assessment at a Time
When you're not feeling well and suspect your home might be part of the problem, you need more than basic mold testing. You need someone who understands the connection between your environment and your health.
At Thrive Well Environments, we specialize in identifying hidden environmental factors that could be affecting how you and your family feel. Our approach goes beyond what's visible to uncover what standard inspections miss.
What to Expect:
Your Journey to a Healthier Home
-
Step 1: Initial Consultation (Complimentary)
We start by listening. During your free consultation (available via phone, Zoom, or in-person), we'll discuss your health concerns, home history, and any symptoms you've been experiencing. This helps us understand what to look for and creates a customized plan for your space.
What you'll receive: A detailed consultation summary with recommended testing plan and timeline tailored to your specific situation.
-
Step 2: Environmental Assessment (1-3 hours)
A comprehensive walkthrough of your home including air testing in each room, dust and surface sampling, moisture detection, and thorough inspection for current or previous water damage. We examine your space both inside and outside, document findings with photos, and take detailed notes about your specific concerns.
What you'll receive: Written assessment report with photos, risk area identification, and detailed documentation of all findings.
-
Step 3: Targeted Testing (if recommended)
Based on our assessment, we may recommend testing for mold spores, Actino bacteria, mycotoxins, and endotoxins. We partner with specialized laboratories including Envirobiomics, as we cannot determine specific contamination types without comprehensive analysis.
What you'll receive: Complete lab results with interpretation and education about findings, plus health impact explanations in clear, understandable language.
-
Step 4: Solutions & Next Steps
We don't just hand you results and walk away. For smaller contamination issues, we provide cleaning and sanitization services using a range of professional-grade products tailored to your specific needs and sensitivity levels. We consult with each client first to ensure our approach serves their individual requirements.
Our product options include: Superstratum labs, bioPure, Puraclenz, essential oils, enzyme cleaners, Biocide systems, and DIY applications - selected based on your situation and sensitivities.
For larger mold issues (10+ square feet), we'll refer you to trusted remediation professionals and can provide post-remediation cleaning, sanitization, and verification testing.
What you'll receive: Clear action plan with specific recommendations, timeline, and ongoing support throughout your remediation process.
COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
Environmental Health Assessment
What it includes: A NORMI-certified, comprehensive evaluation of your living space using professional-grade equipment and protocols that go far beyond basic visual inspection.
Our assessment process includes:
- Advanced moisture mapping and detection
- Indoor air quality measurement
- Air testing in each room plus outdoor baseline
- Dust and surface sampling as needed
- Identification of water damage and microbial growth risk areas
- Professional documentation and photography
- Health-focused evaluation of how your environment might be affecting your symptoms
Duration: 1-3 hours depending on home size and specific concerns
Perfect for: Families dealing with unexplained symptoms, those who suspect environmental triggers, anyone with a history of water damage, or those wanting professional peace of mind about their indoor air quality.
Investment varies by project scope - each situation is unique. After your free consultation and assessment, we create a customized plan with transparent pricing for your specific needs.
ADVANCED TESTING
Advanced Mold, Actino Bacteria, Mycotoxins & Endotoxins Testing
What makes us different: While most inspectors only test for mold, we use specialized protocols to test for mold, Actino bacteria, mycotoxins & endotoxins—contaminants often found in water-damaged buildings that can trigger serious inflammatory conditions.
Our NORMI-certified approach includes:
- Strict sampling and containment protocols aligned with IICRC and EPA standards
- Advanced testing methods that standard inspectors don't typically offer
- Professional-grade equipment for moisture mapping and air quality assessment
Our testing approach is customized - we don't always test for both mold and Actino bacteria. Testing decisions are based on your health complaints, symptoms, visual inspection, and environmental clues like odors.
Results timeline: 1-2 weeks for lab results (sometimes faster if samples are submitted early in the week)
Education included: We interpret all results and provide comprehensive education about findings and their potential health impacts
Perfect for: Those with chronic inflammatory symptoms, anyone who's had "negative" mold tests but still feels unwell, families dealing with respiratory issues, or homes with any history of water damage.
Investment varies by project scope - each situation is unique. After your free consultation and assessment, we create a customized plan with transparent pricing for your specific needs.
Payment: We do not work directly with insurance companies. After services are completed and paid, clients may submit documentation for potential reimbursement, though coverage is not guaranteed.
HEALTH-FOCUSED SOLUTIONS
Health-Focused Deep Cleaning & Remediation

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a regular mold inspection?
Most mold inspectors focus on structural damage and visible growth. We take a health-first approach using NORMI-certified protocols that include advanced moisture mapping, Actino bacteria testing (not offered by standard inspectors), and professional-grade equipment aligned with IICRC and EPA standards. We also connect findings to potential health impacts rather than just reporting data.

Professional peace of mind is valuable. If our assessment and testing show your environment is healthy, you can focus your health journey elsewhere with confidence. We also provide guidance on maintaining optimal indoor air quality going forward.

We offer both NORMI-certified testing and professional remediation services. This means you work with one knowledgeable team throughout the entire process, from assessment to healthy home certification.
