State Certified To Test For
Asbestos
What Is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals known for their strong, flexible fibers. It was widely used in construction and various other industries due to its heat-resistant properties. However, when disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and pose serious health risks, such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis when inhaled.
How and Why It Happens:
Asbestos becomes a hazard when materials containing it are damaged or disturbed, releasing fibers into the air. This can occur during renovations, demolitions, or maintenance work in older buildings.
Importance of Addressing It:
Ignoring asbestos hazards can lead to severe health issues and legal liabilities. It’s crucial to identify and manage asbestos properly before undertaking any construction or renovation projects.
Our Services:
AECTI offers comprehensive asbestos inspection and testing services. Our certified professionals accurately identify the presence and extent of asbestos, providing the essential information needed for safe management and remediation.
Lead
What Is Lead?
Lead can cause serious health issues, particularly in children, including cognitive impairments, developmental delays, and other physical ailments.
How and Why It Happens:
Lead hazards often arise from deteriorating lead-based paint or during renovations in older buildings where lead materials were used. When these materials break down, lead dust or chips can contaminate the environment, posing significant health risks.
Importance of Addressing It:
Ignoring lead hazards can lead to severe health and developmental issues, especially in children, making it crucial to identify and manage lead risks effectively to ensure a safe living and working environment.
Our Services:
We provide meticulous lead sampling services to ascertain the presence and level of lead, facilitating informed decisions for safe and effective remediation.
Mold
What Is Mold?
Mold is a type of fungus that thrives in moist environments and can grow on a variety of materials, including wood, carpet, and insulation. Mold exposure can lead to health issues such as allergies, respiratory problems, and in severe cases, toxic mold syndrome.
How and Why It Happens:
Mold growth is often triggered by water damage, high humidity, or inadequate ventilation. These conditions create an ideal environment for mold to proliferate, potentially spreading throughout a building.
Importance of Addressing It:
Ignoring mold can exacerbate health issues and cause further damage to property. Timely identification and remediation are essential to maintaining a healthy living or working environment.
Our Services:
AECTI offers precise mold sampling to identify the type and extent of mold contamination, providing the necessary information for effective remediation planning.
Fire Soot
What Is Fire Soot?
Fire soot is a fine, black powder formed during the incomplete combustion of organic materials in fires. It can accumulate on surfaces or become airborne, posing risks to respiratory health and contributing to structural and aesthetic damage.
How and Why It Happens:
Fire soot is commonly produced during fires or from poorly vented combustion processes within buildings. When fires occur, soot particles can spread throughout a property, settling on surfaces and contaminating the air.
Importance of Addressing It:
Ignoring fire soot can lead to respiratory issues and degrade indoor air quality, making professional assessment and cleaning essential to restore a safe environment.
Our Services:
We conduct thorough fire soot sampling to determine the extent of contamination, guiding effective cleaning and remediation efforts to ensure a safe and clean indoor environment.
Black Water
What Is Black Water?
Black water refers to wastewater contaminated with biological material, such as sewage or floodwaters. It poses significant health risks due to the presence of harmful microorganisms and pathogens.
How and Why It Happens:
Black water contamination often occurs during flooding or sewage backups, where water is mixed with waste materials, leading to severe contamination.
Importance of Addressing It:
Ignoring black water contamination can lead to serious health risks and further property damage. Prompt and professional remediation is crucial to prevent health hazards and restore safe conditions.
Our Services:
AECTI provides comprehensive black water sampling to assess the level of contamination and the presence of harmful pathogens, guiding effective cleanup and remediation efforts.
