Priority Services for Ukiah & Mendocino County
MCAQMD Asbestos Surveys for Renovations & Demolition
In Mendocino County, air quality regulations (Rule 1-270) are strict: you must notify the District at least 10 days before any renovation or demolition that disturbs building materials.
Permit-Ready Surveys: We provide the AHERA-certified asbestos surveys required for City of Ukiah and Mendocino County building permits.
Notification Assistance: Our reports provide the specific data you need to satisfy MCAQMD notification requirements, even for projects where no asbestos is found.
Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA): For ground-disturbing activities in Mendocino’s unique geological areas, we provide the necessary assessments for NOA compliance.
Lead-Based Paint Laboratory Analysis
Older residential stock in Ukiah’s historic core and rural farmhouses often contains lead-based paint that must be managed during any disturbance.
Accredited Lab Sampling: We perform professional paint chip collection for laboratory analysis, providing the definitive lead-by-weight data required for OSHA and EPA RRP compliance.
Rural & Estate Inspections: From Hopland to Calpella, we ensure your rural property or historic home meets all California Title 17 safety standards.
Wildfire Recovery & Mold Inspections
Following the wildfire events that have impacted the Ukiah Valley, environmental safety is a top priority for families and businesses.
Fire & Smoke Residue Testing: We test for soot, char, and ash contaminants to ensure your property is safe for re-occupancy or to support insurance claims.
Mold & Moisture Detection: In rural properties with well-water systems or older foundations, hidden moisture can quickly escalate. We use thermal imaging to find leaks and provide an unbiased remediation protocol if mold is detected.
Post-Remediation Verification: We provide the independent "Clearance Test" to verify that remediation work was done correctly, protecting the health of your indoor environment.
The "Testing-Only" Advantage for Mendocino Residents
In a rural community where you often know your contractor personally, a third-party, unbiased report is your best protection.
The Adaptive Standard: We don't fix the problem; we identify it. Because we don't perform remediation, we have no reason to "find" issues that aren't there. You get a neutral, scientific report that helps you get honest bids from contractors and ensures your project stays on track with local regulators.
