Environmental Testing Services in Virginia, Maryland & District of Columbia

Our environmental testing services utilize modern collection equipment and we employ a experienced, knowledgeable, respectful, and friendly data collection process.  Most importantly, after the data collection is completed, we provide the results quickly and we can provide personalized consultation and interpretation of results. We're based in Fairfax, VA.

We take samples and/or measurements (two visits required for radon tests). Your report will contain all the results, followed by a discussion of the significance of each result, and where necessary, recommendations on how to reduce the hazards that exceed Maximum Contamination Levels (MCLs).

 Home heating oil is often stored in metal underground tanks, located adjacent to homes. Gasoline is usually stored in above-ground metal tanks, not close to homes. Over time, spilled fuel occasionally accumulates in the soil, and metal tanks develop leaks. These liquid fuels are slowly washed down, and then often move horizontally, floating on top of water-wet soil. These fuels can enter through basement walls and floors. Inhaled vapors from these fuels can cause breathing health problems. Excessive metal contamination can also be in soils, sometimes from metal-rich solutions used to make insecticides (farming), and sometimes from metal-rich solutions escaping from storage areas. Metal contamination can enter wells and drinking contaminated water can cause digestive health problems.
