Origin Environmental — mold inspections and testing, San Diego

About Us

Reliability. Integrity. Accuracy.

Origin Environmental was built on a simple separation of duties: the people who test should never be the people who sell the repair.

Our Inspector

Joshua Leviton

Josh approaches an indoor air quality problem the way he was trained to approach a scene: document conditions, collect defensible samples, let the laboratory speak, and write it up so a non-specialist can act on it.

The laboratory behind the report

Every sample we collect is analyzed by Natural Link Mold Lab, an ISO/IEC 17025-compliant microbiology laboratory. Analytical Director Sean P. Abbott, PhD, is a mycologist with more than fifteen years in fungal biology and indoor air quality.

Accreditation matters because it governs the whole chain: how samples are handled, how counts are derived, how uncertainty is reported. It is the difference between a number and a result.
