Environmental Hazard Services
Lead and asbestos are two of the most common environmental hazards found in older homes and commercial buildings. When disturbed during water damage, fire cleanup, remodels, or demolition, these materials can release harmful particles into the air. Our environmental hazard services focus on identifying, containing, and safely removing lead and asbestos to protect your property and everyone inside it.
Lead
Often found in paint and coatings in homes built before 1978. Disturbing it can release toxic dust that affects neurological and developmental health.
Asbestos
Common in flooring, insulation, drywall compounds, ceiling texture, pipe wrap, and siding in older structures. When damaged or disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and cause serious long-term respiratory issues.
Both hazards require certified handling and strict safety procedures.
When testing is needed...
Lead or asbestos testing is recommended when:
Materials are damaged by water or fire
Demolition or renovations are planned
Older materials are flaking, crumbling, or deteriorating
You are unsure whether a material contains hazardous components
An insurance company requires verification before mitigation or rebuild
Testing ensures the right safety plan is put in place.
