Asbestos Testing & Monitoring Services
We perform asbestos testing and management services for organizations such as school districts and hospitals, construction sites, and more. Our comprehensive asbestos management services consist of inspection, design and air monitoring. Typically, a physical inspection is initiated to determine the presence and type of asbestos containing material. Once categorized and quantified an abatement design is prepared.

Lead Testing & Philadelphia Lead Certifications
The main focus of our lead based paint management plan is to provide comprehensive risk assessments to identify the existence, severity, and source of a lead based paint hazard and recommend an appropriate hazard control measure. A major component of this assessment, our ability to diagnose the presence of lead, is accomplished with state-of-the-art X-Ray Fluorescent instrumentation. Once lead hazards are identified our design department can prepare an abatement specification and related contract documents. Once an abatement contractor is selected, our technical staff can provide onsite lead inspection and monitoring. We also offer Philadelphia lead certifications for landlords.

Indoor Air Quality Testing
Acute health and comfort effects apparently linked to time spent in an indoor environment can be associated with a "sick building" or a "building related illness." Our industrial hygienists can perform an indoor air quality (IAQ) profile that describes the features of a building's structure, function, and occupancy. This is followed by a walk through to assess current IAQ situations where attention is paid to IAQ problem indicators such as odors, presence of toxic substances, poorly maintained equipment, etc.
Mold Testing and Consulting
The growth of "toxic mold" is becoming a problem of monumental proportion. Mold cannot be eliminated, but there are steps that can be taken to minimize the dangers of indoor mold growth. Our inspection procedures focus on identifying mold and, just as importantly, identifying the moisture intrusion that is promoting mold growth. Our design professionals then develop a plan to correct or eliminate the water and then focus on properly removing the mold. Mold growth removal is then performed under controlled conditions to prevent the spreading of spores.
