Service Details
Asbestos Services
Asbestos is a mineral fibre used in several building materials that is fibrous in structure and resistant to fire and acid. We provide comprehensive asbestos surveys, project management, and air sampling services.
Services include:

- Asbestos Project Management: Overseeing the removal by qualified contractors
- Asbestos Air Sampling: Collection of air samples to identify concentration of airborne fibres
Mould Assessment
Moulds are a type of fungi that can grow indoors when there is a source of moisture. During growth, some types of mould release mycotoxins, which can provoke allergic reactions.
How we can help:
- Mould Assessment: Detailed assessment for areas of mould growth
- Project Management During Abatement: Overseeing the removal of mould-contaminated materials
Indoor Air Quality Assessment
Indoor air quality refers to the air quality in and around buildings as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. We identify issues and provide long-term solutions.
Parameters tested: Temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, respirable particulate, volatile organic compounds, and formaldehyde.
Designated Substances Report
Building owners are required by law to provide an inventory of the location and condition of any designated substances prior to construction projects. We provide detailed reports and oversee required abatement.
Lead Assessment
Lead is commonly found in paint, solder, glazes, and other materials. We provide detailed assessments including sample collection and recommendations for remedial action.
UFFI Air Sampling
Urea-Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI) testing to determine formaldehyde concentrations in your home and identify if wet or deteriorating UFFI needs removal.
Spray Foam Air Quality Testing
We provide physical and air quality testing to assess whether spray foam insulation has been applied properly and is not releasing toxic chemicals.
