Operate With Confidence
Maintaining a safe and compliant commercial property is crucial for protecting the health of occupants, minimizing liability, and preserving the value of your asset. Our comprehensive environmental services and inspections are designed to mitigate potential environmental hazards in commercial buildings.
Commercial Environmental Services
Lead Base & Asbestos Testing
This service identifies the presence of lead-based paint and asbestos-containing materials within a commercial property. Common in older buildings, lead and asbestos pose serious health risks if disturbed. Technicians collect samples from surfaces, walls, ceilings, and insulation, and analyze them in a lab. If these hazardous materials are found, remediation steps are recommended to ensure safety.
Radon Testing
Radon testing measures levels of radon gas, a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that can seep into buildings through foundations. Radon is odorless and colorless and is the second leading cause of lung cancer, so it poses significant health risks over long-term exposure. Testing involves placing detectors in key areas to assess radon levels, particularly in lower-level or underground areas of the property.
Radon Mitigation
If high radon levels are detected, mitigation services are performed to reduce radon concentration to safe levels. Radon mitigation often involves the installation of venting systems that direct radon gas away from the property, preventing its accumulation indoors. This service ensures the property meets health standards and protects occupants.
Environmental Site Assessment - Phase 1 & 2
This assessment, often required for real estate transactions, evaluates potential environmental contamination or hazards on a property. ESAs are typically conducted in phases.
Mold & Air Quality Testing
Mold testing assesses indoor air and surfaces for mold spores, identifying moisture issues and areas of contamination. Air samples are analyzed by a lab to determine mold type and concentration. If high levels of mold are found, remediation measures can be recommended to improve air quality and ensure a healthy indoor environment for occupants.
Annual Maintenance Services
Annual environmental maintenance services involve regular inspections to monitor potential environmental hazards over time. This may include radon retesting, checking for mold growth, assessing asbestos or lead paint conditions, and updating environmental site assessments. By scheduling regular checks, property owners can proactively address any issues, ensuring a safer environment.
Test. Mitigate. Retest.
Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive soil gas. It is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Radon is estimated to cause thousands of deaths annually. Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
Having your home tested by a professional is the best way to get an accurate level of the radon in your home.
