Older buildings across Austin can contain asbestos in insulation, floor tiles, popcorn ceilings, and pipe wrap. These materials are safe until they are disturbed, which is why testing should come before any renovation, demolition, or sale. Our certified inspectors collect bulk samples using methods designed to keep fibers from being released. An accredited lab then analyzes each sample by polarized light microscopy or transmission electron microscopy to confirm whether asbestos is present and in...

Indoor air can carry pollutants you cannot see or smell, from dust and biological particles to gases released by building materials and household products. Our indoor air quality testing looks at the air inside your home or workplace to show what is actually in it. We measure the key contaminants, have the samples analyzed by accredited laboratories, and explain the results in plain terms. You get a report that identifies likely sources and recommends practical steps to improve ventilation or re...

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that seeps up from the soil and can collect in any building through foundation cracks and gaps. We test with continuous radon monitors placed in the lowest livable area of your property for at least 48 hours, following EPA protocols. Continuous monitors give real-time readings that are harder to tamper with than passive kits. Your report includes average levels, hourly variation, and a recommendation for mitigation if readings exceed 4.0 pCi/L. We also handle r...

Volatile organic compounds are released from paints, adhesives, cleaning products, carpets, and new furniture, and they can build up in closed spaces. Our VOC testing samples the air in your home or building and has it analyzed by an accredited laboratory to identify which compounds are present and at what levels. Results are presented in a clear report that explains what the numbers mean and where the compounds likely came from. We often find that the source is something that can be replaced or...

Lead was widely used in paint, plumbing, and building materials for decades, and it can still be found in older homes and commercial properties in Austin.

You receive a report stating what was found, where, and in what amounts, along with guidance on safe handling or remediation. Thi...

Formaldehyde is a colorless gas released by some pressed wood products, insulation, adhesives, and certain fabrics, and it tends to be strongest in newer or recently renovated spaces. We measure formaldehyde in your indoor air using sampling methods that produce results an accredited laboratory can verify. Your report shows the measured concentration, explains how it compares to common guidelines, and identifies likely sources in the building. We also suggest ways to reduce levels, such as impro...
