Environmental Inspections

Indoor Air Quality

We are indoor environmental professionals and are ACAC Certified Indoor Environmentalists and Certified Hazardous Materials Manager.  We are scientists trained in the latest methodology of building sciences with advanced technology for testing and indoor air quality assessments. We do it right. Our assessments include the following process:

• Site inspection with building diagnostics such as thermal imaging, building pressures, moisture mapping, air flow,  pollutant pathways, HVAC design and operation, filter use, review of maintenance procedures, occupant activities, occupant interviews and complaint investigations.

• Testing, sample extraction, and laboratory analyses for common indoor air pollutants such as:

Mold Bacteria Allergens Ozone Carbon Monoxide Carbon Dioxide Relative Humidity

Radon Volatile Organic Compounds Formaldehyde Hydrogen Sulfide Ventilation Particulates

• Interpretation of laboratory results and findings of the site inspection and building diagnostics, building defects, contaminant sources, and improper building conditions.
• Formal report with results of building inspection and diagnostics, sample interpretation, and recommendations for remediation and repairs to improve indoor air quality.

 

Phase I Environmental site Assessment

Environmental Due Diligence is the process of investigation performed prior to engaging in a pre-purchase contract or refinancing. Environmental Due Diligence determines the likelihood of environmental impact from former on-site operations and supports the “Innocent Landowner’s Defense” under CERCLA. By performing environmental Due Diligence on a property prior to purchase, a prospective owner can document and assess the potential liability or risk associated therein. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment includes a site inspection, local, state, and federal database searches, property history, previous uses of property, known waste sites, adjacent property activities, and previous industrial activities. The Phase I is a comprehensive assessment with identification of known or suspected environmental issues, areas of concern, aerial photographs, Sanborn maps, and a complete property history.
