A mold inspection can be preventative or needed as a result from a problem, such as a water leak, visual mold findings, or health concerns. Inspection of the affected areas may help locate the source of mold contamination, identify some of the mold species present, and differentiate between mold and soot or dirt. Our inspection includes all the laboratory fees for the samples taken, a full report which includes the visual inspector's assessment/recommendations to remediate any areas that are found to have fungal contamination.
JLM Environmental is now offering same day results for radon testing. With our continuous electronic monitors, we are able to provide our clients with quicker results with higher accuracy when compared to charcoal canisters. Our monitors utilize six, highly sensitive sensors that produce reliable data and less variation; the temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity are all incorporated into our reports. Charcoal canisters will only give an average of the radon levels they are exposed to during the 48 hour sampling period; our electronic continuous monitors provide interval reporting every 30 minutes.

JLM Environmentals' reports clearly identify whether the inspected property contains lead based paint and identify the locations and condition of all positive components. The reports will discuss testing procedures, applicable regulatory limits and regulations, and cost effective treatment options if lead based paint is found. Our reports can be sent to lead abatement contractors to have them provide cost estimates to abate or control any found lead. JLM Environmental performs all Lead Based Paint (LBP) inspections and risk assessments in accordance with all state and federal guidelines for the evaluation and control of LBP.
Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) is a technique used for the analysis of bulk building materials. This technique utilizes polarized light to observe specific optical properties. Our PLM analyst will distinguish asbestos from non-asbestos fibers and further classify and quantify the various species that compose the asbestos mineral family. Depending on the analytical results, if asbestos is detected, this would trigger certain regulatory requirements or laws that must be implemented during the handling, work practices and disposal of the material.
Lead is added to paint to speed up drying, increase durability, maintain a fresh appearance, and resist moisture that causes corrosion. Although it is useful, it has also been found to be toxic to humans and animals. It is one of the main health and environmental hazards associated with paint and ceramic tile. Lead can be found in many areas of our environment including air, soil, water, and also our homes.
Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over the United States. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water, and gets into the air you breathe. Radon has been found in all 50 states and poses a risk in all regions. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation or through well water, becoming trapped in your home. Any home can have a radon problem, including new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.
