Quality — Means Details

Depending on customer requests and the property condition, our inspections may include professional-grade moisture, humidity measurements and mold sampling.

This involves analyzing details — moisture content, relative humidity, spore counts per cubic meter, and detected mold types.

Our Story

1

Independent

Tanjun Mold Inspections is a fully insured small business that serves the Los Angeles and Ventura County areas.

We do not perform mold removal or remediations. Thus, as an independent third party test-only business — it allows us to focus on more objective mold assessments and unbiased recommendations.

2

Simply Pure

The name Tanjun comes from the Japanese characters 単 (tan, meaning "single") and 純 (jun, meaning "pure"). Together, they convey the state of being — simple or pure — without any other elements mixed in or any complicated functions, structures, or forms.

Thus, “Tanjun” captures the overall value of the business, with the goal of ensuring each customer experience is as simple and uncomplicated as possible — and at the same time — providing the purest and most undiluted value of each product and service.

Helpful

We deliver friendly explanations that non lab techs can understand, together with detailed reports of our findings and recommendations.

Before entering the Environmental Testing and Mold Inspection industry, Charles spent years in information technology — specializing in technical writing, data analysis, troubleshooting and root cause analysis, server and network engineering, and disaster recovery planning. That analytical background shapes how Tanjun approaches its work — methodical, thorough, and data-driven.

Friendly Communications. Lab Backed Data.

Our Process

Tanjun Mold Inspections performing- Professional Performing Visual Inspections

Visual Inspections

We start with performing a visual inspection of the property, focusing on areas where there may be water damage, moisture issues or suspected mold growth.

Tanjun Mold Inspections - Advanced Tools for Taking Environmental Measurements

Environment Readings

With the help of specialized tools we may take environmental readings such as Moisture Content (MC) or humidity levels in order to identify any potential issues.

Tanjun Mold Inspections - Lab Analysis for Mold Samples

Lab Testing & Analysis

Surface and Air samples may be recommended depending on the inspection findings or customer concerns. Such samples are sent to an AIHA Accredited Lab that specializes in identifying and analyzing mold.

Tanjun Mold Inspections Providing a Comprehensive Findings and Recommendations Report

Findings & Recommendations

Once all of the data is collected, we provide a report of our findings. If a mold growth problem is identified, a Remediation Protocol is outlined.

The 3 Vital Methods To Assess Fungal Ecology

Why We Often Combine 3 Methods

Since each inspection method has limitations, relying on just one may miss important details.
Each method answers different mold and water damage questions — Combining all three contributes to a more thorough investigation — both before and after mold remediation.

Method 01

Visual Inspection

Purpose

Checks for visible mold growth, signs of water damage (like stains or bubbling), condensation, and moisture intrusion (such as by windows, sinks, and ceilings)

Limitations

Eyes cannot detect microscopic spores in your air — nor can it see inside walls or under floors. A room can look clean — but have elevated mold spore counts in the air. Surfaces can look dry — but retain high moisture.

See How We Solve This

Combine with Moisture Testing — to detect moisture behind walls or flooring and utilize Air Sampling — to measure invisible airborne spore levels in the breathing zone. Wall Cavity air sampling may be useful if hidden mold growth is suspected behind the walls.

Method 02

Moisture Testing

Purpose

Uses moisture meters to check for high moisture content (MC) such as in walls or flooring. Since mold needs moisture, checking for moisture is key.

Limitations

Moisture meters cannot detect (1) elevated mold spore counts in the air (2) remaining mold from past water damage or (3) if the moisture is trapped deeper into the wall cavity or building materials — even if there is mold growth.

See How We Solve This

Combine with a Visual Inspection — to check if there is visible mold on various building materials. If mold colonization inside walls or flooring causes spores to travel into the ambient air, Air Sampling may be able to detect it. Wall cavity air sampling may be able to detect mold growth behind the walls.

Method 03

Air Sampling

Purpose

Detects (1) mold types and (2) spore counts in the air — helpful for assessing fungal ecology for pre-remediation and essential for post-remediation clearance testing.

Limitations

Although elevated mold spores typically are found close to the growth source, air samples cannot identify the source of the leak. Mold spores may stay inside walls or flooring. Also, heavier and stickier spores may not become easily airborne.

See How We Solve This

Combine with Visual Inspections & Moisture Testing to check for areas at risk for mold growth or to trace elevated spore counts back to the source of the moisture intrusion.

Industry Standard: IICRC S520 Fungal Ecology

Can Visual Checks and Moisture Meters Alone Verify a Condition 1 Status?

No. Since mold spores are not visible when airborne, lab testing is required to assess fungal ecology. Under professional IICRC S520 guidelines, a home's fungal condition falls into three Conditions that eyes and moisture meters alone cannot verify:

Clearance - Post-Remediation Verification (PRV) Passing Clearance means the environment has returned to a Condition 1 status. Practically, this requires performing air sampling inside the containment in order to check the mold types and spore counts detected.
Pre-Remediation Inspections During an inspection where water damage has been experienced, or where there is risk of mold growth, a visual inspection should be combined with moisture content testing and where appropriate, air or surface sampling should be performed to assess the fungal ecology.
● Condition 1 — Normal Fungal Ecology An indoor environment that reflects a normal fungal ecology.
● Condition 2 — Settled Spores An indoor environment that is contaminated with some settled spores.
● Condition 3 — Actual Growth An indoor environment that is contaminated with actual mold growth and associated spores.
