Asbestos Testing
Professional asbestos inspection identifies hazardous materials in residential properties. Our EPA-certified technicians perform comprehensive sampling and analysis of building materials including floor tiles, insulation, and HVAC components. Utilizing advanced containment protocols and laboratory analysis, we provide detailed reports with remediation recommendations to ensure compliance with federal safety standards.
Mold Inspection
Thorough mold assessment detects hidden contamination sources in moisture-prone areas. Our specialists use air quality testing and surface sampling to identify toxic species like Stachybotrys and Aspergillus. We provide detailed remediation plans addressing moisture sources while following strict containment procedures to prevent cross-contamination during removal processes.
Radon Testing
Precision radon level measurement using short-term and long-term testing methods. Our EPA-certified technicians deploy digital monitors and charcoal canisters to assess gas concentrations in basements and living spaces. We provide mitigation solutions when levels exceed 2.0 pCi/L, implementing venting systems to reduce carcinogenic risks associated with prolonged exposure.
Environmental Home Inspection
Comprehensive evaluation of residential environmental hazards during real estate transactions. Our 2-3 hour onsite inspections cover all accessible areas, testing for multiple contaminants including asbestos, mold, and radon. We deliver detailed photographic reports with remediation cost estimates and health risk assessments to facilitate informed property decisions.
Consulting Services
Specialized environmental consulting with medical expert Dr. George Riegel. We provide litigation support as expert witnesses and collaborate with architects on non-toxic home construction. Our consulting includes remediation strategy development, regulatory compliance guidance, and health risk assessments for residential and commercial properties nationwide.
