Residential Environmental Services
Lead Base & Asbestos Testing
These tests assess older homes for hazardous materials. Lead-based paint testing detects lead, commonly used in paints before 1978, which poses health risks. Asbestos testing involves checking building materials for asbestos, which can cause respiratory issues if disturbed. Both tests identify areas requiring remediation to ensure a safe living environment.
Radon Mitigation
If radon testing reveals elevated levels, radon mitigation systems can be installed to reduce radon concentration. Mitigation typically involves venting radon from beneath the foundation to the outside, significantly lowering indoor radon levels to improve air quality and safety.
Radon Testing
Radon testing measures the concentration of radon gas in the home. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, can seep into homes from the ground and increase the risk of lung cancer over time. Testing helps determine if radon levels are within safe limits or if further action is needed.

Mold & Air Quality Testing
This service assesses indoor air and surfaces for mold. Air samples are analyzed by a lab to detect airborne mold spores, while surface samples confirm visible mold types. These tests help identify potential health hazards and provide data for effective mold remediation.
Annual Maintenance Services
This service proactively inspects a property’s critical systems, such as lead base & asbestos testing, sewer scope, radon testing, and mold testing. Annual maintenance catches minor environmental issues early, preventing mold, leaks, or other hazards that can affect the home’s safety, efficiency, and longevity.
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.

How It Works
Schedule Your Inspection
Contact us to schedule your inspection. We offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs.
Pre-Inspection Preparation
We’ll confirm the date and time of your inspection and provide any pre-inspection instructions.
On-Site Inspection
Our inspectors will conduct an examination of the property following industry standards to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Report Generation
We provide a detailed electronic inspection report, complete with videos and pictures. We are available to answer any questions.
Ongoing Support
Based on the inspection results, we can help you prioritize repairs, or plan future maintenance.
Sample Reports
One of the best ways to judge the quality and professionalism of the work completed by a property inspector is to take a close look at their inspection report.
Frequent Questions
Properties constructed before the 1980s are more likely to have asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), as asbestos was widely used in building products during this time. Asbestos was commonly used in:
- Pipe Insulation
- Popcorn Ceilings
- Vinyl Floor Tiles
- Roofing Shingles
- Cement Siding
- Fireproofing Materials
If materials like these are damaged, they may release asbestos fibers into the air.
The use of lead-based paint was common before 1978 in the U.S. Cracking, peeling, or chipping paint may release lead dust or chips into the environment. Testing helps identify risks and plan for proper remediation.
Safety: Regular inspections ensure the property remains safe and prevent hazardous conditions caused by wear and tear.
Cost Savings: Inspections help avoid expensive repairs and extend asset lifespans, like catching roof issues early to save on major repairs.
Early Detection: Inspections spot problems early, such as leaks or electrical issues, reducing the risk of serious damage and costly repairs.
Energy Efficiency: Inspections reveal opportunities to cut energy costs by identifying outdated appliances, inefficient lighting, and air leaks.
Resale Value: A history of regular inspections and maintenance boosts a property's appeal, leading to quicker and more profitable sales.
In some cases, environmental inspections are required, especially for commercial real estate transactions, construction projects, or if the property is being used for a purpose that may impact the environment. Lenders and insurance companies may also require inspections before approving loans or coverage.
Licensed environmental professionals with expertise in environmental science conduct these inspections. They follow ASTM E1527-21 standards to ensure compliance with environmental safety standards.
It's recommended during the buying or selling process or every 2 years for existing property owners to monitor levels.
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Testing ensures levels are safe for occupancy.
