ERMI & HERTSMI-2 Dust Testing in Plano, TX
qPCR dust analysis, collected correctly and interpreted honestly — for households in Plano and across Collin County, held to the sensitized-occupant standard and independently verified.
Why this matters in Plano
Generic national advice breaks on local construction. This page maps the service to how Plano homes are actually built — and to providers serving Collin County who work these exact failure modes.
North Dallas suburbs in the hail corridor on expansive clays. 1980s–2000s slab stock; foundation movement and hail-aged roofs lead water-entry origins.
Where the work starts in Plano
- Slab-edge readings and under-slab supply runs at bathrooms and kitchen
- Shower and tub assemblies past their service life
- Water-heater closets and laundry connections
- Attic-side bath-fan ducting and termination
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.
