These are additional services we provide throughout the state of Florida and in south Georgia.
Chinese Drywall Assessments
Many claims in the U.S. indicate that Chinese drywall manufactured between 2001 and 2009 causes problems related to homeowners' health and the functioning of electronic appliances within the home. The primary concerns with Chinese drywall relate to the emission of potentially toxic and corrosive fumes (gases) from the drywall into the home atmosphere (especially under higher temperatures and humidity). Such emitted fumes include but are not limited to hydrogen sulfide (H2S), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon disulfide (CS2), and possibly other irritating and corrosive fumes. These gases have an unpleasant rotten egg odor, pose a health risk to inhabitants, and corrode electrical and plumbing components, causing malfunctioning of electronic systems within the home. AirSpec can inspect, sample, and send the samples for appropriate testing in cases of suspected Chinese drywall.
Clandestine Drug Lab (Meth Lab) assessments, cleaning protocols, and post-remediation verifications
Screenings are beneficial for properties with no known background of use as a meth lab or suspicion of meth use in the property and are a critical tool for protecting realtors, home buyers, renters, and sellers from liability. The assessor will walk around the property to conduct a visual inspection. They will check all outbuildings, garages, attics, crawl spaces, sheds, and basements to look for staining or signs of former meth lab use, lab manufacturing apparatus, or by-products. Sampling for methamphetamine residue is then conducted. The goal is to collect enough samples per property to understand the contamination levels within the structure.
Expert Witness Testimony/Services
We provide industrial hygiene expert witnesses who testify, consult, and provide litigation support on industrial hygiene and related issues. Industrial hygiene expert witnesses may form expert opinions, draft expert witness reports, and provide expert witness testimony at deposition and trial. The issues and subjects these industrial hygiene expert witnesses testify regarding may include industrial hygiene, OSHA, asbestos, mold, indoor air quality, lead, legionella, respiratory protection, benzene, industrial hygiene, chemical exposure assessment, construction, environmental, and ergonomics.
Fentanyl testing, assessments, cleaning protocols, and post-remediation verifications
AirSpec can perform wipe sampling for fentanyl residue. We provide assessments and post-remediation verification.
IICRC Category 3 Water Damage Assessments
Category 3 water loss involves grossly contaminated water and can contain pathogenic, toxigenic, or other harmful agents. Examples include, but are not limited to, sewage, toilet backflows, seawater, ground surface water, rising water from rivers or streams, and other contaminated water entering or affecting the indoor environment.
This assessment aims to determine the severity of a Category 3 water loss inside the residence, provide recommendations for corrective actions, and develop a prudent remediation and cleanup protocol. Our licensed assessors will perform a visual inspection utilizing moisture detection instruments, collect bacterial samples on building materials impacted by Category 3 water to verify the presence of sewage indicator organisms, and perform relevant mold spore sampling.

IICRC Category 3 Water Clearance Testing
This clearance testing provides reasonable assurance that indicated remediation work areas had been properly cleaned after a recent sewage water (Category 3) infiltration.
Soot Damage Assessments
Smoke and soot damage is created after a fire has been extinguished in a home or a business and soot residue remains in the structure. Soot is a fine, black powder substance (0.25 µm in size) that binds to walls and fabric. Our assessors visually inspect the building for soot residue and collect soot samples for verification.
VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) Assessments
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are present in all natural and synthetic materials. They can exist not only as structurally diverse liquids and solids but also as vapors. Thus, they are a significant airborne consideration when biomonitoring human exposure levels and evaluating indoor odor issues. VOCs are measured by collecting samples and submitting them for laboratory analysis. VOC sampling can also be a screen for health hazards in the workplace.
