Some other pollutants Admirable Consulting tests for are asbestos, lead paint, and Chinese drywall.

Lead Paint – Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes built before 1980. Since then, scientists have found that even low levels of exposure to lead can be harmful to pregnant women and  children’s health and development. Removing or disturbing paint as part of a renovation project may expose you and your family to lead. Before you begin renovations, consider an air quality inspection and paint chip sampling to minimize the health risks to you and your family.

Chinese drywall – Chinese drywall has been detected off-gassing of volatile chemicals and sulphurous gasses including carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide, and hydrogen sulfide. Humidity in the air causes the sulfur in the drywall to off-gas, or transfer into the structure and effect air quality. Creating a noxious odor, and can result in serious health conditions and illnesses, such as breathing problems, eye irritation, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, sore throat, bloody nose, and headaches.

Asbestos Testing – Asbestos is a well-known hazardous material regulated by the federal government. Asbestos fibers have been directly connected to cancers of the lung and other respiratory illnesses that can be easily prevented if detected early enough. Alberta Occupational Health and Safety has a  policy for mitigating the risks associated with asbestos contamination and now is the ideal time to get your air quality tested.  Vermiculite, ceiling tiles, duct work seals, drywall tape, flooring tiles, are all known to contain dangerous levels of asbestos. Call Admirable Inspection Services and let our experienced inspectors handle your private or commercial asbestos testing.

 

 

 

My Promise to You


pre-listing inspections edmontonChoosing the right inspection service provider can be difficult. Unlike most professionals you hire, you probably won’t meet me until your inspection appointment–after you’ve hired. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and pricing. One thing that’s certain is that a thorough inspection requires a lot of work. Ultimately, a quality inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s effort. I guarantee that I will give you my very best.
