Residential Services
Asbestos Testing & Assessment
Asbestos is a natural mineral used as insulation in residences and commercial buildings before the 1980s. The nearly indestructible material was too good to be true. We soon found out asbestos was harmful and caused lung diseases and cancer when inhaled.
If you suspect you have asbestos in your home, especially if it was built before 1981, call us to inspect and remove it. This is a dangerous job that requires strict precautions. DO NOT attempt to remove asbestos yourself.
If left for too long, asbestos can be deadly if it disintegrates over time and becomes particles of dust, ready for you to breathe in and damage your health. This is not something you want to wait to remove from your home!
To ensure your home is empty of harmful asbestos, we offer thorough inspections, air quality tests, lab analysis, and a certified clearing of the material from your home.
Lead Testing & Assessment
Lead is found naturally in the environment, particularly in the air, water, and soil. It was referred to as the miracle metal. People used it in everything until we learned how harmful it was, especially to children. From paint to plumbing pipes and fixtures to gasoline to makeup, lead you could count on the presence of lead.
Now we know better. After 1978, homes were banned from having lead-based paint. Although, lead poses another risk when it comes to plumbing pipes. As the lead solder or fixtures get older, they start to corrode and enter the water you’re drinking and using to bathe.
If you suspect the presence of lead in your home, give us a call promptly. We’ll investigate and determine what we need to do to remedy the situation and keep you and your family healthy. Through water testing, lead-based paint assessments, abatement, and more, we’re prepared to make your home safe.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
Don’t underestimate the power of the air you breathe. If you’re breathing contaminated air, it could cause adverse effects to your health and overall wellbeing. Professionally testing the quality of your home’s air determines if you’re inhaling harmful chemicals such as mold, asbestos, radon, lead, and more.
Meth Lab Remediation
Every home has a history; whether it requires extra attention like meth lab remediation or not is another story. These harmful chemicals can lurk around for quite some time if not handled and removed properly. We will effectively and safely remediate your home following all mandatory regulations and issue a certificate of decontamination as well as work with insurance companies.
Heating Oil Tank Closure
Years ago, homes were heated using furnaces with heating oils. These furnaces were stored either above or below ground. As the years passed, these old furnaces started to leak oil into the environment, poisoning the soil, local wildlife, and groundwater. If you live in an older home and suspect your heating oil tank is leaking, give us a call for a swift and safe removal.
Mold Investigation & Testing
Mold can be a tricky substance to handle. While most of it is harmless, it can cause irritation and should be removed. We’ll search your home for mold growth, determine the type of mold, identify the water source that created it, and remove it from your home promptly.
Radon Investigation & Testing
Radon is a natural radioactive gas that can seep into your home, usually the basement, through cracks in the foundation. This dangerous gas can cause lung cancer from long-term exposure. It’s undetectable with the naked eye, which is why you’ll need us to come and test for it. We offer radon testing before you buy or sell a home and oversee mitigation.
Water Testing
Do you know what chemicals are in the water you’re drinking? Probably not. We’ll test your drinking water for toxic metals, lead, radon, pesticides, and more. You can also count on us to conduct a thorough investigation to identify the source of contamination so we can solve the issue.
