ERMI & HERTSMI-2 Dust Testing in Mountain View, CA
qPCR dust analysis, collected correctly and interpreted honestly — for households in Mountain View and across Santa Clara County, held to the sensitized-occupant standard and independently verified.
Why this matters in Mountain View
Every market fails in its own way, and Mountain View is no exception. Below: the local failure patterns this service has to account for, and how vetted matching keeps the work honest across Santa Clara County.
Bay-edge flats with shallow water tables toward the shoreline and wet-season soil saturation. Eichler and mid-century stock with flat and low-slope roofs alongside dense newer townhome construction with shared-assembly complications.
Where the work starts in Mountain View
- Fog-side and north-facing elevations for chronic condensation loading
- Flat-roof drains, scuppers, and ponding history above ceiling stains
- Unvented wall cavities and single-pane condensation zones in original assemblies
- Bathroom exhaust performance measured against real occupancy load
- Ground-moisture entry paths in high-water-table and flood-history sections
What's included
- Collection planning: composite versus room-specific sampling matched to the question
- Proper collection sites: undisturbed dust reservoirs, not floors or fresh surfaces
- Accredited-lab qPCR analysis of water-damage and outdoor marker species
- Species-level interpretation against building findings, not just the composite score
- Baseline documentation for valid post-remediation comparison
- A single hallway air cassette sold as a building screen
- Scores interpreted without any building context
- No documentation of collection sites and method
A defensible answer to 'is this building a problem' with species-level detail that directs the inspection — and a baseline your final clearance will be measured against.

Why does local building knowledge matter in Mountain View?
Bay-edge flats with shallow water tables toward the shoreline and wet-season soil saturation. Eichler and mid-century stock with flat and low-slope roofs alongside dense newer townhome construction with shared-assembly complications. Providers who work these exact failure modes find sources faster and scope work more accurately than generalists applying a national template.
What standard is the work held to?
The sensitized-occupant standard: written scopes, verified negative-pressure containment where remediation is involved, no fogging or biocide-and-leave treatments, chemical disclosure, and third-party verification as the release condition for final payment.
