"On the first day the agent first tested a small inconspicuous spot on the back of my couch to see how it would dry. He then came back after I notified the company that the result was okay and he cleaned the entire couch. I thought that was terrific. He was extremely professional and did a goo9d job. The fee for scotch guarding was much too high. I also felt the charge for my five foot sette was high."

"After calling 5 other companies who didn't seem interested or qualified to conduct an air quality test for my elderly mother, Jordan was exactly what I was looking for. He was honest and clearly showed an interest in helping me with my issue. He was able to come out quickly and provided a very detailed report on his findings and how to resolve. I would highly recommend."

"Environmental Services of America took my call after 5 PM, and they came to my house two hours later. The company was the least expensive of the three I called, and gave me the fastest results. Elias Hernández looked at all my floors, and he only took samples of the ones where asbestos might be an issue. Rather than taking samples of the five areas I was concerned about, he only took two because he knew three of them were not an issue. This saved me money. Also, he gave us professional advice on handling our demolition work in order to protect our family. Environmental Services of America left my house at approximately 8:45 PM, and I had my asbestos test results the following day around noon. I would recommend Environmental Services of America to anyone, and I plan on using them for any future needs."

Common in homes built in the 20th century, black mastic was used as an adhesive for ceramic tile, linoleum, and other resilient flooring materials. Mastic is a term that has largely become outdated, but you may still find it on old cans around the house. The main concern is that some (but not all) black mastics may contain asbestos

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Athens, GA

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The gas seeps through cracks in foundations and collects in basements and other low areas. Once you breathe it in, radioactive particles lodge in lung tissue and do long-term damage. Because you can’t see or smell radon, the EPA recommends testing your home every two years—and after major renovations—to keep your family safe.

Yes—every home should be tested. The EPA advises doing it at least every two years and any time you remodel, buy, or sell. On average, one in 15 houses nationwide sits above the recommended limit, and the only way to know where yours stands is a formal test. The equipment simply measures gas levels and won’t change your indoor environment, so the process is completely harmless.

Certified radon professionals—often home inspectors or dedicated radon mitigation contractors—handle testing. These radon testing professionals follow EPA protocols and use calibrated instruments to check levels throughout your house. Hiring a certified radon specialist means results you can trust for real estate deals, insurance requirements, and, most importantly, your family’s health.

Inspectors specialize in measuring radon gas levels, while licensed mitigation contractors design and install the systems that remove it. If your test comes back high, your inspector can point you to a qualified mitigation pro who will size and install the right fan, piping, or other equipment to bring levels down.

No—standard home air purifiers don’t touch radon. They’re built to trap dust and pollen, not radioactive gas. If testing shows high levels, you’ll need a dedicated mitigation system that vents the gas from beneath your home to the outdoors. Relying on a room purifier alone won’t keep your indoor air safe.

Opening a few windows in your home might dilute radon for a short time, but the gas seeps back in as soon as they’re closed. For a lasting fix, you’ll need a professional mitigation system—often a sub-slab depressurization fan—that pulls radon from beneath the foundation and safely vents it outside.
