Mold Testing
Mold can be found almost anywhere; it can grow on virtually any organic substance, as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. A Mold Inspection can help you to identify which molds are harmful to your health. Not all mold is bad. Willow Environmental performs full mold inspections including air samples and swab analysis. Willow conducts mold inspections in the states of Connecticut and New York, and Rhode Island.
Lead Paint Testing
The EPA recommends that all houses built before 1978 be tested for lead-based paint. Lead paint is poisonous, and as it ages it can peel, chip, and form lead dust. Willow performs an XRF test that reads through all layers of paint. Reports include all XRF readings and a recommended action summary. Willow performs Lead Paint inspections in Connecticut only.
Radon Testing
Radon is an odorless and invisible gas, which occurs naturally as a by product of the breakdown of uranium. Long term or chronic exposure to radon has been linked to major lung problems. Utilizing strict EPA protocols, Willow tests for radon in air as well as in water. Willow performs Radon Testing in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire
