Services
Mold Testing
Our comprehensive mold testing combines visual assessments with advanced moisture detection technology. Certified inspectors analyze air quality samples in accredited labs to identify hidden mold growth. This scientific approach ensures accurate detection of airborne spores and concealed infestations, protecting occupants from health risks while preserving property value through early intervention.
Radon Inspection
Utilizing specialized equipment, we conduct short-term radon testing with continuous monitoring devices. Results help determine if dangerous radioactive gas levels exist in homes and businesses. Our certified technicians interpret findings against EPA standards, providing actionable recommendations to mitigate health risks associated with this leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Asbestos Testing
Certified professionals collect bulk samples from suspected materials and analyze them in ISO-certified labs. Our testing identifies asbestos-containing materials in pre-1980s construction while maintaining strict safety protocols. Detailed reports guide clients through regulatory compliance and risk management decisions for residential renovations or commercial property management.
Lead Hazard Detection
We employ XRF analyzers and lab-verified sampling methods to detect lead-based paint and dust hazards. This critical testing protects occupantsespecially childrenfrom neurological damage by identifying contamination sources in older properties prior to renovations or occupancy changes.
Indoor Air Quality
Comprehensive air quality assessments measure multiple contaminants simultaneously. Using calibrated equipment, we evaluate ventilation efficiency, pollutant concentrations, and microbial growth indicators. This holistic analysis helps create healthier environments by identifying improvement opportunities across residential and commercial spaces in Charleston's humid climate.
Questions
Why choose a test-only company for environmental inspections?
Test-only companies like ours avoid conflicts of interest by not offering remediation services. This ensures unbiased results and objective recommendations without financial incentives to exaggerate issues.
How long does mold testing take?
Comprehensive inspections typically require 2-3 hours on-site with lab results available within 24 hours. Testing duration depends on property size and complexity of potential issue areas.
What happens if high radon levels are found?
We provide detailed mitigation system recommendations and connect clients with certified contractors. Post-mitigation verification testing ensures proper system functionality and safe air quality levels.
Is asbestos testing required before home renovations?
While not always mandatory, testing older properties before renovations is strongly recommended. It helps identify hazards that could become airborne during construction activities, ensuring safe and compliant project execution.
