About AYS Environmental Testing
Our Mission
At At Your Service Environmental Testing, our mission is to provide reliable and affordable testing services to our clients.
By conducting thorough inspections, collecting samples, and analyzing data, AYS environmental hygienists help identify risks and develop strategies to mitigate them.
Our Expertise
Our team of experts has over 15 years of experience in the asbestos testing industry. We have the knowledge and skills to handle any asbestos-related situation with professionalism and efficiency.
The testing process typically involves a certified asbestos inspector taking samples of suspected materials and sending them to a laboratory for analysis. The most common method used for analysis is polarized light microscopy (PLM), which can determine the presence and concentration of asbestos fibers. Another method, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), is more precise and can identify the specific type of asbestos.
Our Services
We offer a range of services including air quality testing, bulk sampling, and visual inspections. Our services are designed to meet your specific needs and budget, without compromising on the quality of our work.
It's essential for homeowners, especially those who are considering renovations or demolition, to have their properties tested for asbestos. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release harmful fibers into the air, which, when inhaled, can lead to serious diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Professional asbestos removal is recommended if asbestos is found, ensuring that it is safely managed and mitigated.
We Offer the Following
ASBESTOS TESTING
Asbestos testing is a crucial step in ensuring the safety of a building and its occupants. Asbestos, once widely used in construction for its fire-resistant properties, is now known to pose serious health risks if its fibers are released into the air and inhaled. Testing for asbestos involves taking samples from various parts of a building, such as ceilings, walls, and floors, and sending them to a certified laboratory for analysis. It is important to hire a professional asbestos testing company with the necessary expertise and equipment to conduct the tests safely and accurately. If asbestos is found in a building, proper abatement procedures must be followed to remove or encapsulate the asbestos-containing materials to prevent exposure. Regular asbestos testing is especially important for older buildings or those that have undergone renovations in the past, as asbestos may have been used in construction materials before its health risks were widely known. By being proactive about asbestos testing, property owners can protect the health and well-being of those who live or work in the building.
Mold Testing
Mold testing is an essential process for maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring a healthy living or working environment. Mold, a type of fungus, can grow in damp or humid conditions, often hidden in walls, under carpets, or in poorly ventilated spaces. The process of mold testing typically involves several steps to detect the presence and type of mold. Air and surface samples may be collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis to determine the specific species of mold and the concentration of mold spores in the air.
Hygienist Protocol (Writing)
Environmental hygienist protocols are essential guidelines and procedures put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals and the environment. These protocols are designed to prevent and control potential hazards, such as air and water pollution, harmful chemicals, and other environmental risks. By conducting thorough inspections and implementing effective solutions, environmental hygienists help create safer and healthier living and working environments for everyone.
