Services
Asbestos Inspections
Our licensed asbestos inspectors conduct comprehensive evaluations of residential and commercial properties to identify asbestos-containing materials. Using specialized testing equipment, we collect samples for laboratory analysis and provide detailed reports outlining potential risks. Our assessment includes recommendations for abatement or management strategies that comply with EPA and OSHA regulations.
Radon Mitigation
We install customized radon mitigation systems to reduce indoor radon levels below EPA action thresholds. Our certified specialists use sub-slab depressurization and other proven techniques to safely vent radon gas from buildings. Each system includes continuous monitoring to ensure long-term effectiveness and compliance with state radiation control programs.
Mold Remediation
Our mold remediation process begins with moisture source identification and air quality testing to determine contamination extent. Using HEPA filtration and containment barriers, we remove affected materials following IICRC S520 standards. Post-remediation verification ensures complete elimination of harmful mold spores from residential environments.
Lead Testing
We conduct XRF testing and paint chip analysis to detect lead-based materials in pre-1978 structures. Our certified inspectors follow HUD guidelines for surface dust sampling and soil testing, providing laboratory-verified results that guide safe abatement procedures for residential and commercial properties.
Duct Cleaning
Our NADCA-certified technicians perform HVAC system cleaning using truck-mounted vacuums and rotary brushes to remove contaminants from ductwork. The process improves indoor air quality by eliminating mold spores, dust accumulation, and debris buildup while maintaining system efficiency through thorough component inspection and cleaning.
