Residential Environmental Assessments
Your home is the haven for your family. You want it to be a place that is healthy for them, too. Various indoor environmental issues exist that can adversely affect your family. Mold is the most common concern, due to its harmful health effects and the damaging effect it can have on the home itself. Other indoor environmental concerns include: allergens, chemicals (including VOCs), formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, radon, asbestos and water-borne contaminants.

Mold Assessments
POWERS ENVIRONMENTAL LLC has the experience of hundreds of residential mold assessments to determine if your home has mold issues and how to address them. We strive to identify why the mold problem happened in the first place in order to prevent it from happening again. Air sampling determines the types and levels of mold spores in the home compared to an outside air sample. Surface sampling is also used when appropriate to identify and confirm visual staining.

Allergen Assessments
Allergy doctors can identify the different types of allergens that you or a family member may react to, but are they present in your home? POWERS ENVIRONMENTAL LLC offers house calls! Our in-home broad spectrum allergen testing will assess whether any of the identified allergens are found in your home environment.

Chemical Assessments
Unusual odors in your home can be evidence of airborne gases which may be harmful to your health. Many building products, as well as wood furniture and other manmade materials, are manufactured with compounds that are subsequently released into the air potentially causing harm to one’s health. Using scientifically-established air sampling methods, POWERS ENVIRONMENTAL LLC can have your air tested for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde.

Well Water Assessments
Well water can contain biological contaminants (including coliform & e. coli), heavy metals, petroleum, pesticides, and radon. Other contaminants can affect the taste and smell of your well water. Samples can be taken for analysis to determine the presence of these contaminants, which can affect the quality and drinkability of the water in your home.
