Services
Phase I Inspections
Our Phase I inspections evaluate commercial properties for potential environmental contamination through visual assessment, historical review, and regulatory database checks. This non-invasive process identifies recognized environmental conditions according to ASTM standards. Ideal for property transactions, these assessments help clients understand potential liability risks associated with existing site conditions.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
We measure airborne contaminants like mold spores, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds using calibrated sampling equipment. This testing identifies sources of indoor air pollution and potential health hazards. Commercial and residential clients receive detailed reports with actionable recommendations for improving ventilation and reducing pollutant sources.
Radon Testing
Certified by the National Radon Proficiency Program, we conduct both short-term and long-term radon testing using continuous monitoring devices. Our EPA-verified protocols ensure accurate measurement of radon gas concentrations in residential and commercial buildings. Test results include mitigation recommendations when levels exceed safety thresholds.
Water Quality Analysis
We test private well water for biological contaminants, heavy metals, and chemical pollutants according to state drinking water standards. Our comprehensive panels include bacteria, nitrates, pH levels, and specific contaminant testing. Clients receive clear interpretations of results and treatment recommendations when necessary.
Mold Inspection
Through visual inspections and targeted sampling, we identify mold growth sources and assess indoor air quality impact. Our certified inspectors use moisture mapping and air sampling techniques to document contamination levels. Reports include detailed remediation specifications following industry best practices for safe mold removal.
