Mold Inspection & Lab Testing
Molds are a natural part of the environment and can be found almost anywhere that moisture and oxygen are present. They belong to the kingdom Fungi and live in moist places such as soil, plants and dead or decaying matter. Mold inside of buildings can cause severe heath issues.
Mold Inspections consist of a couple different things:
- A visual inspection with moisture readings
- Air sampling and/or surface sampling
- Documentation of findings and interpretation of professional lab reports
- Remediation recommendations needed to remedy issues found
- If needed, post remediation clearance testing mold inspection and testing mold testing
Leak detection, Thermal imaging inspection, Moisture Mapping
We offer multiple forms Leak detection
- Standard moisture meter readings
- Thermal Imaging camera for much less invasive readings
- Moisture mapping with CAD drawings
Lead Inspection, XRF analysis, & Lab Testing
Lead Inspections are done in advance of work, to determine if there are regulated lead levels that trigger regulatory requirements .
We offer multiple forms of lead sampling:
- Lead bulk samples
- Lead wipe samples
- XRF- "X-Ray Frequency" Gun (non invasive testing)
- Abatement Protocol Reports
An XRF gun is a non-destructive tool designed to perform elemental analysis on materials. XRF guns, formally called XRF analyzers or XRF machines, perform measurements by harnessing the power of X-ray fluorescence (XRF), specifically what is called energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF).
With that we are able to clear a building by conducting a lead survey with an XRF analyzer in accordance with
Housing and Urban development (HUD) Protocols Chapter 7, dated 2012, EPA
40 CFR 745.227.
This is how you meet qualifications to be certified as a ‘Lead Free Property’ according to Maryland Department of Environment standards. lead and asbestos testing
Asbestos Inspection & Testing
PACM stands for "presumed asbestos containing material". It refers to thermal system insulation (TSI) and surfacing materials found in buildings constructed before 1980. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers and building owners to treat these materials as asbestos-containing material (ACM). Unless otherwise tested and found to be cleared of asbestos. Therefore, prior to any demolition or remediation that is not part of an emergency mitigation disaster response necessary to eliminate and/or reduce life safety issues; the building materials should be inspected and tested for asbestos.
We offer multiple forms of asbestos sampling:
- Asbestos bulk samples
- Asbestos air samples
- Asbestos wipe samples
- Abatement Protocol Reports lead and asbestos testing
Fire and Soot
Fire and smoke tend to have a huge impact on you. It can leave chemical and particulate residues, such as asbestos fibers, formaldehyde, and fire-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can linger in the air and cause odors and negative health effects.
