Specialized Inspection & Consulting Services

Was your home recently affected by a fire or flooding?

Are you struggling to get your life back together after an emergency?

A home damaged by water or fire can completely upend your life. We know that the damage isn’t just physical, but emotional as well. We want to help in any way that we can, and that means making sure the remediation process goes smoothly for your family.

We specialize in testing for mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, and methamphetamine, and sewage inspection and consulting services. Our team also frequently prepares abatement specifications, oversees the subsequent abatement work, and performs clearance testing to verify that the work has been properly completed. 

We nearly always get to the flood/fire/impact damaged structures the same day, and we overnight all samples to a laboratory located in the Eastern Time Zone so results can be available early in the morning the following day. This allows your restoration company to get a jump on their work and for you to be that much further along in the process of getting your property restored.

Who is Most Susceptible to Lead Exposure?

Who is most susceptible to lead exposure and lead poisoning? Typically, it’s children under the age of six. Kids are always grabbing objects and putting them in their mouths, potentially exposing them to materials that may be covered in or contaminated by lead. Exposure is generally more dangerous for them because their bodies are developing and are most vulnerable in this age range.
