By working in conjunction with homeowners, remediation companies, construction companies, as well as HOA’s, management companies, and attorneys, ETC has actively increased its scope of services from mold assessments to currently offering indoor air quality, fire and flood assessments, radon measurements, state certified asbestos building inspections, Category 2 and Category 3 flood assessments, and testing for methamphetamine contaminated homes and buildings.
Highlights over the years include working with major builders on new build, multi-unit construction such as condominiums, townhomes, retirement communities and nursing home projects.
