Services We Provide

 

Unknown Contaminant Sampling
Targeted sampling when the specific contaminant is not yet identified, helping determine what may be present in air, surfaces, water, or materials.

 

Flood Water & Water-Damage Related Sampling
Sampling of flood water, residual moisture, or affected materials following flooding or water intrusion events (potable and non-potable water).

 

Additional Specialty Materials Sampling
Other specialized surface, bulk, air, or water sampling as requested and supported by our laboratory partners. All sampling follows recognized protocols and is performed with a focus on accurate documentation and practical next-step recommendations.

 

When You Should Consider Specialty Materials Sampling

 

These services are often valuable when:

• A specific or unusual contaminant is suspected

• Flooding or significant water damage has occurred and documentation of water quality or residual contamination is needed

• Regulatory, insurance, legal, or real-estate requirements call for specialized laboratory analysis

• Standard mold, lead, or IAQ assessments indicate the need for further targeted testing

• You need independent verification of conditions before or after cleanup efforts by others

Early, accurate sampling supports informed decisions and protects health and property.
