Investigation Packages

Structured Investigation Levels for Complex Environmental Questions

Not every home or situation requires the same depth of investigation.
Golden Environmental LLC offers tiered engagement levels designed to match the complexity of the building, health sensitivity of occupants, and level of clarity required.

Each package reflects time, scope, analytical depth, and reporting rigor—not just testing volume.

FAST PACK

Focused Screening & Initial Insight

FAST PACK investigations are designed for situations where concerns are localized, early-stage, or exploratory, and where a focused assessment can help determine whether deeper investigation is warranted.

This package may be appropriate when:

  • Concerns are limited to one area or event

  • There is minimal history of moisture intrusion

  • Clients want professional guidance before committing to a larger scope

  • The goal is screening rather than comprehensive evaluation

FAST PACK engagements typically emphasize:

  • Targeted visual assessment

  • Moisture screening and contextual evaluation

  • Limited, strategic sampling when appropriate

  • Clear guidance on whether additional investigation is recommended

This level prioritizes direction and triage, not exhaustive analysis.

SUMMIT

Advanced, High-Scrutiny Investigation

SUMMIT engagements are reserved for complex, high-impact situations where a deeper level of scrutiny, documentation, and interpretation is required.

This package is appropriate when:

  • Occupants are highly mold-sensitive or medically complex

  • There is a history of repeated or failed remediation

  • Multiple systems or concealed assemblies may be involved

  • Findings will inform medical, legal, or high-stakes real-estate decisions

SUMMIT investigations may involve:

  • Expanded diagnostic evaluation across multiple zones

  • In-depth moisture and airflow analysis

  • Advanced or multi-point microbial sampling strategies

  • Detailed interpretation of laboratory and observational data

  • Comprehensive, defensible reporting suitable for third-party review

This level emphasizes confidence, completeness, and decision support in situations where uncertainty carries greater risk.

BASECAMP

Comprehensive Residential Investigation

BASECAMP is the most commonly selected engagement level and is appropriate for the majority of residential investigations—particularly when health sensitivity, unresolved symptoms, or prior remediation attempts are involved.

This package is suited for:

  • Mold-sensitized or health-vulnerable occupants

  • Homes with known or suspected moisture history

  • Persistent odors or symptoms without clear explanation

  • Situations requiring defensible documentation

BASECAMP investigations typically include:

  • Whole-home or multi-area visual assessment

  • Moisture and building-science diagnostics

  • Evaluation of basements, crawl spaces, attics, and mechanical systems

  • Strategic air, surface, or cavity sampling when appropriate

  • Detailed reporting addressing cause, extent, and next steps

This level balances thoroughness and practicality, providing meaningful clarity without unnecessary excess.
