Environmental Testing & Diagnostics
Certified inspection and laboratory analysis for residential and commercial properties. Every report is independent, documented, and written in language you can use — for insurance, real estate, compliance, or your own peace of mind.
Mold Testing & Inspection
We collect air samples (spore trap cassettes), surface wipe samples, and bulk material samples where indicated. Samples are analyzed by accredited labs for species identification and spore counts. We compare indoor results to outdoor control samples to establish what is elevated vs. ambient.
Results are delivered with a plain-language interpretation, including whether findings exceed normal background levels, which species are present, and what remediation — if any — is warranted. Post-remediation clearance sampling is available to confirm work is complete.
Schedule Mold TestingAsbestos Sampling & Analysis
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were common in construction materials used before 1980 — including floor tiles, drywall joint compound, pipe insulation, roofing, and textured paint. Before any renovation, demolition, or disturbance of these materials in a pre-1980 building, sampling is required for regulatory compliance and worker safety.
We collect bulk material samples and submit them for Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) analysis at accredited labs. Results indicate the presence, type, and percentage of asbestos fibers. If asbestos is confirmed, we advise on abatement requirements and can coordinate with licensed abatement contractors.

Indoor Air Quality Testing
Indoor air quality concerns can stem from a wide range of sources — building materials off-gassing VOCs, combustion byproducts, microbial contamination, or infiltration from nearby construction or industrial activity. We test for particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, combustion gases, and general air quality indicators.
Testing is particularly relevant following a fire or flood event, when occupants are experiencing unexplained health symptoms, prior to reoccupancy after remediation, and as part of pre-purchase due diligence on properties with unknown histories.
Schedule Air Quality TestingSmoke & Fire Residue Testing
After a fire event — whether a structure fire, kitchen fire, or nearby wildfire — smoke residue can penetrate surfaces far beyond the visible damage zone. Soot particles and chemical combustion byproducts settle into porous materials and HVAC systems, often without visible evidence.
We conduct surface wipe sampling (Modified NIOSH 9102, Total Metals EPA 3051A) and air sampling to quantify residue levels. Results establish a baseline, guide the remediation scope, and provide documentation that cleanup was performed and confirmed by post-clearance testing. This record is essential for insurance claims and future resale disclosure.

Construction Debris, Lead & Renovation Hazards
Renovation work in pre-1978 buildings carries specific regulatory obligations under EPA's RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) Rule. Lead-based paint dust generated during sanding, cutting, and demolition is a serious health hazard — particularly for children. We conduct XRF screening and dust wipe sampling (following HUD clearance protocols) to identify lead presence and verify post-work clearance.
For active construction sites with open walls and metal cutting, we test for metallic particulates including lead, cadmium, chromium, and other heavy metals that may become airborne during work. This applies to renovation projects, tenant buildouts, and properties with ongoing construction adjacent to occupied spaces.
Schedule Construction TestingWater Damage & Moisture Assessment
Water intrusion is often invisible. Moisture trapped inside walls, under flooring, and in crawl spaces creates ideal conditions for structural degradation and mold growth — yet shows no surface evidence for weeks or months. We use calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging (infrared) cameras to map moisture content across structural assemblies and identify concealed wet areas.
A moisture assessment report documents the extent of water intrusion, identifies likely source and migration pathways, and provides the baseline data needed to scope drying and remediation work. Follow-up measurements confirm drying is complete before walls are closed or materials replaced.

Our Laboratory Standards
All samples are analyzed by accredited, independent third-party laboratories. We do not operate our own lab — which means results are objective, defensible, and chain-of-custody documented.
EMSL Analytical
One of the largest environmental testing labs in North America. Accredited for mold, asbestos, metals, air quality, and more.
NVLAP / AIHA Accreditation
We use labs holding current NVLAP and AIHA-LAP accreditations for asbestos and indoor air quality analysis.
Chain of Custody
Every sample is logged, labeled, and submitted with documented chain of custody — ensuring results are legally defensible.
Plain-Language Reporting
Raw lab data is accompanied by our written interpretation — what the numbers mean, what exceeds action levels, and what to do next.
