Arizona’s desert climate is famous for its dryness, but sudden seasonal downpours and high indoor humidity can create ideal conditions for mold. Even well-maintained buildings can conceal moisture behind stucco or adobe walls and within constantly running HVAC systems. Undetected mold growth can lead to allergies, respiratory issues, and other health problems.
“Mold issues in Arizona can be misleading because the climate appears too dry for fungal growth,” says Brandon Apple, president of MIS. “However, we’re witnessing how quickly mold can thrive when monsoon storms or hidden leaks bring moisture. Our expansion focuses on helping residents stay safe by identifying these problems early.”
Besides monsoon-driven water intrusion in places like Phoenix and Tucson, Northern Arizona areas like Prescott and Flagstaff experience cooler temperatures and seasonal snowfall, which can seep into basements or crawl spaces—creating another common mold risk. MIS’s science-based testing protocols help identify issues at their source, offering clear, actionable next steps for property owners.
MIS services include comprehensive mold inspection, allergy testing, specialized mold-related illness and CIRS protocols, and post-remediation clearance testing. Recognizing mold’s impact on health, MIS also collaborates with the necessary healthcare professionals, who regularly see patients experiencing mold-related illnesses. By focusing solely on detection rather than clean-up, the company maintains an unbiased perspective and delivers reliable results that both individuals and healthcare providers can trust.
