Environmental Testing Services

Start with your symptoms or situation: Musty smell or visible growth → mold inspection. Buying a pre-1978 home → lead testing. Renovating a pre-1980 home → asbestos testing. Unexplained headaches or fatigue → indoor air quality testing. Post-flood or sewage backup → multiple tests may be warranted.

Not sure? Call me. I'll tell you if you need testing at all — and I'll tell you if you don't.

Yes. Many homeowners combine mold inspection with air quality testing, or asbestos testing with lead testing during the same visit. Bundling saves you time and gives me a fuller picture of your property's health. I'll tell you which combinations make sense — and which ones are unnecessary.

If your home was built before 1980, yes. Asbestos was used in insulation, flooring, ceiling textures, and pipe wrap until the late 1970s. Lead paint was banned in 1978. Disturbing these materials without testing can release hazardous particles. Most contractors won't start work without clearance documentation.

A home inspection evaluates visible structure: foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical. Environmental testing investigates what you can't see: mold spores behind walls, asbestos in materials, lead in paint, contaminants in air or water. Most home inspectors aren't certified to test for hazardous materials — and most environmental testers don't evaluate structural systems.

I do both. Separately. When you need them.
