IEQ Inspections
Our Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) inspections identify hazards like mold, asbestos, and VOCs in residential and commercial properties. Using advanced testing methods, we assess air quality, moisture sources, and contaminant levels. Our reports provide clear remediation steps to ensure safe, healthy indoor environments for occupants.
Asbestos Testing
Certified asbestos inspections involve sampling and lab analysis of suspect materials in buildings. We follow strict protocols to identify asbestos-containing materials and provide compliance guidance. Our reports outline management or removal options to protect occupant health and regulatory compliance.
Mold Assessments
We conduct comprehensive mold inspections to locate moisture sources and fungal growth. Through visual assessments and targeted sampling, we determine contamination extent. Our recommendations address remediation, prevention, and return-to-normal criteria for residential and commercial properties.
Environmental Site Assessments
Phase I ESAs identify environmental liabilities for real estate transactions. We review historical records, conduct site inspections, and check regulatory databases. When risks are found, we guide clients on Phase II testing and compliance strategies to mitigate property risks.
Clandestine Lab Testing
We test properties for methamphetamine contamination using accredited lab analysis. Our assessments determine remediation needs following clandestine drug lab discoveries. Services include chemical testing and post-cleanup verification to ensure safe property reuse.

Questions
What is the difference between IEQ and IAQ?
IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) encompasses IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) but also includes factors like moisture, temperature, lighting, and contaminants in building materials. Our assessments address all these elements comprehensively.
Do I need asbestos testing before home renovations?
Yes, if your property was built before 1980. We identify asbestos-containing materials to ensure safe handling during renovations, protecting workers and occupants from hazardous fiber exposure.
How do you assess mold contamination?
We combine visual inspections with moisture mapping and targeted sampling. Our reports identify growth sources, contamination extent, and provide remediation protocols following EPA guidelines.
Can you test for meth lab contamination?
Yes, we conduct chemical testing for methamphetamine residues. Our assessments determine contamination levels and guide remediation to meet Kansas Department of Health standards for property reuse.
What areas do you serve?
While based in Wichita, KS, we provide inspections nationwide including Oklahoma, Missouri, Colorado, Texas, Florida, and Alaska. No location is too remote for our consulting services.
Are your consultants certified?
Our team holds multiple certifications including CIEC, CRIE, and Kansas AHERA Asbestos Inspector credentials. We maintain memberships in IAQA, AIHA, and NEHA professional organizations.
