Mold Evaluation
Mold can be a
serious health problem, and we recommend testing to determine the
type and extent of the existing mold. Some mold defects can't be
seen and will only be detected through air sampling, so
Willow provides a full-house inspection,
collecting air samples and swabs in specific areas where needed.
Our Certified Industrial Hygienist on staff can give
recommendations on how to eliminate the problem if the mold is
harmless or can offer referrals for removal of harmful mold.
Lead Painting (XRF) Testing
The EPA
recommends that all houses built before 1978 be tested for
lead-based paint. Lead paint is poisonous, and as it ages it can
peel, chip, and form lead dust. Willow performs
an XRF test that reads through all layers of paint. Reports include
all XRF readings and a recommended action summary.
Radon Reduction Systems
Radon is an
odorless and invisible gas, which occurs naturally as a byproduct
of the breakdown of uranium. Long term or chronic exposure to radon
has been linked to major lung problems. Utilizing strict EPA
protocols, Willow tests for radon in air as well as
in water. If radon is found in unacceptable levels, Willow is a
certified NEHA contractor able to provide Radon Reduction
Systems.
Asbestos Testing
Many building
components may contain asbestos, such as insulation, floor tiles,
mastic roofing, and sidings. When disturbed or damaged, asbestos
can cause significant health threats. Willow is
licensed and trained to inspect and obtain samples for asbestos
testing.
Water
Testing
We conduct full water testing for the following hazards:
chemicals, bacteria, VOCs, lead, and radon.
Underground Oil Tanks
As a home
owner, you should know that you are responsible if your oil tank
leaks. A leaking underground oil tank can cause expensive
ecological damage. Bare steel tanks can corrode and leak oil into
the ground and groundwater. These tanks are buried in the ground,
and even though leaks usually go undetected, the home owner is
liable for petroleum cleanup costs. Willow is an
experienced provider of all services associate with underground oil
tanks, including locating, testing, removal, installation, and
remediation.
