Lead contaminants are rarely found in source water, but they can enter tap water through corrosion of plumbing materials. The most common problem is with brass or chrome-plated brass faucets and fixtures which can leach significant amounts of lead into the water, especially hot water. Buildings constructed before 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes, fixtures, and solder, however, the same health risks have been identified in newer facilities as well.

Microbial pollution, more commonly known as mold involves hundreds of species of bacteria and fungi that grow indoors when sufficient moisture is present. Exposure to mold contaminants is clinically associated with numerous respiratory problems, allergies, asthma, and immunological failure. Contact us today for a free quote!

Lead is a soft, dull grey metal commonly used in paint and water pipes. Highly volatile and unstable, lead particles can contaminate our air and water. Lead-based paint, lead-contaminated dust in older buildings, and lead sediment in the water are the most prevalent sources of lead poisoning in children. Contact us today for a free quote!

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Soil contamination results when hazardous substances are either spilled or buried directly in the soil or migrate to the soil from a spill that has occurred elsewhere. Contaminants in the soil can adversely impact the health of animals and humans when they ingest, inhale, or touch contaminated soil, or when they eat plants or animals that have themselves been affected by soil contamination.

A majority of us spend a large part of our day indoors: in homes, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, or other private and public buildings. The quality of the air we breathe in those buildings has a profound effect on our health and well-being. Unfortunately, we are constantly in danger of being exposed to harmful elements such as airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and other extraneous particulates. Inadequate management and control of indoor air quality can create a considerable health risk. Contact us today for a free quote on your Indoor Air Quality inspection!

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. It is heat resistant, very strong, and contains remarkable insulating properties. Asbestos has been used extensively in construction materials for many years. Due to its fiber-like structure, asbestos has been known to cause a number of disabling and fatal diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma, and pleural plaques. There is no safe level of exposure to asbestos, therefore all exposure to asbestos should be avoided. Contact us today for your asbestos inspection!
