Pesticides are used as a part of normal agricultural practices to prevent destructive bacteria, mold, mildew, mites and other pests that can damage crops. Water and soil can become contaminated with these common pesticides. Certain pesticides are known carcinogens, which contain chemicals and heavy metals that are known to cause harm to humans, including cancer. The widespread use of pesticides can also lead to resistant strains of fungus and bacteria. We test for 59 pesticides.

We test asbestos in compliance with EPA/600/R93/11. Bring your samples into the lab, or our AHERA Certified Inspectors provide quality on location surveys for residential and commercial proeties. Annual inspections, new home sites or remodels, regardless of age of home. Asbestos tests are necessary because asbestos fibers are microscopic and may not detectable without testing. Asbestos can be released when building materials containing asbestos are removed or disturbed.

Radon is a colorless, odorless, gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer. It comes from decomposing uranium in the soil, it can escape from the ground into your home. The only way to detect radon in your home is with a closed-condition radon test. Testing is the only way to detect radon gas. We will send one of our National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) Certified Radon Measurement Specialists to conduct a closed-condition radon test. A proven way to determine your home’s level of radon exposure.
