Services
Asbestos Testing
Our certified inspectors identify asbestos-containing materials in residential and commercial properties. Using specialized sampling techniques and lab analysis, we provide detailed reports on asbestos presence and recommend appropriate abatement or management strategies. Services include pre-renovation assessments, post-remediation verification, and compliance documentation for OSHA regulations.
Environmental Site Assessments
We conduct Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) to evaluate property contamination risks. Our process includes historical research, physical inspections, soil and groundwater sampling, and regulatory compliance reporting. These assessments help clients understand environmental liabilities before real estate transactions or development projects.
Groundwater Remediation
Our team develops customized remediation plans for contaminated groundwater. Services include initial contamination assessment, feasibility studies, implementation of treatment systems, and long-term monitoring. We address pollutants from fuel tanks, industrial chemicals, and other hazardous substances while ensuring regulatory compliance and environmental protection.
Radon Testing
We offer short-term and long-term radon testing using EPA-approved methods. Our licensed professionals install detection devices, analyze results, and recommend mitigation systems when elevated levels are found. Services include pre-sale testing, post-mitigation verification, and commercial building assessments across Virginia and the East Coast.
Lead Paint Testing
Our Virginia-licensed Lead Risk Assessors perform comprehensive lead-based paint surveys using non-destructive XRF analysis. We test interior and exterior surfaces, conduct dust and soil sampling, and provide risk assessments for residential and commercial properties. Services include pre-renovation testing, post-abatement clearance verification, and compliance reporting for HUD and EPA regulations.
