Services
Asbestos Testing
Our Cal-OSHA certified professionals conduct comprehensive asbestos surveys prior to demolition or renovation projects. We identify regulated asbestos-containing materials using EPA-approved methodologies and provide clearance air sampling to ensure safe re-occupancy. Our services comply with Bay Area Air Quality Management District Regulation 11, Rule 2, protecting both worker health and regulatory compliance.
Lead Inspections
We perform XRF lead screening and HUD-compliant lead risk assessments for pre-1978 properties. Our non-invasive testing identifies lead-based paint hazards and contaminated dust while maintaining legal defensibility. We provide actionable remediation recommendations that meet federal safety standards and help property owners maintain lead-safe environments.
Mold Assessment
Our certified inspectors conduct air quality assessments and moisture investigations to identify mold growth conditions. We analyze spore counts and hyphae presence using industry-standard protocols. Our independent testing services provide unbiased assessments that help property owners address water intrusion issues before they develop into serious health hazards.
Bacteria Testing
We identify bacterial contaminants in water-damaged environments using advanced microbiological testing methods. Our assessments detect harmful pathogens in building materials and water systems, providing critical data for remediation planning. We follow strict chain-of-custody procedures to ensure accurate, repeatable results for residential and commercial clients.
Indoor Air Quality
Our comprehensive indoor air quality investigations identify particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, and biological contaminants. We use calibrated equipment to measure air exchange rates and contaminant concentrations, providing data-driven recommendations to improve ventilation and reduce occupant exposure risks in commercial and residential buildings.
