ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTIONS

Lead inspections are conducted to identify and assess the level of lead-based paint in a structure. Risk assessments are conducted to identify potential hazards associated with lead and recommend actions to mitigate any risks. A lead inspection is a requirement for all pre-1978 housing, while risk assessments are not mandatory.

Mold inspections focus on determining if there is water damage present within the home that is causing a mold problem. Mold testing attempts to identify what specific type of mold is in your home and how many mold spores are in the air. Seeing mold in the cracks and corners of your walls definitely means it is growing and spreading more spores. Keep in mind that mold may also grow in places you cannot see. 

Before the dangers of asbestos were common knowledge, it was widely used as a building material in residential and commercial buildings. Even though the health risks of asbestos fibers are now known, many structures built with the material still stand. Asbestos is made of microscopic fibers that cannot be seen by the naked eye. We conduct DOEE asbestos inspections to identify hazards. You need to know what materials investigate, look for any manufacturer labels, and consult experts when in doubt.

Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) inspections are performed to ensure the proper installation and maintenance of erosion prevention and sediment control measures at construction sites. The environmental impact of poor erosion, sediment and stormwater management is significant and proven. Each of these facts makes it abundantly clear that all construction projects should have a professional on-site, who understands these subjects and has the ability to ensure they are addressed effectively.
