Is
your air worth breathing? None of us
would eat or drink contaminated food. We certainly
wouldn't feed our children or pets anything
unsafe. Why then are we willing to breathe polluted
air which contains moisture, mold, radon or
other harmful agents?
Allied Safety Consultants, Inc.
provides a fresh and innovative approach to
solving indoor air quality problems. We perform
services for residential, industrial, governmental,
medical, and commercial clients throughout the
Southeast and beyond. Our objective is to communicate
the complex concepts of relative health risk,
toxicity, and ventilation in a language that
anyone can easily understand.
Our
professionals combine the knowledge of engineering
methods and construction management with the
sciences of industrial hygiene and microbiology.
Our methods enable us to identify, diagnose,
and treat indoor air quality problems at a fraction
of the cost incurred by larger environmental
firms, and often in much less time.
Mold and moisture inside the wall cavities
of homes, hotels, office complexes, and a host
of other buildings is causing millions, if not
billions, of dollars’ worth in property
damages. In addition, this mold and moisture
can and will cause a wide variety of health
problems for homeowners, and building tenants.

IAQ Evaluations - Protect
the health and safety of your loved ones
Many times, our clients don’t know exactly
what the problem is in their home or office—they
just suspect problems with the indoor air quality.
Using our background as engineers and environmental
scientists, we are able to enter a building
and quickly determine the cause of the problem.
Our site investigations are thorough, including
evaluations of site grading and drainage, building
pressure, and the heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (HVAC) system. We aim to identify
and correct the source of the problem, not just
treat the symptoms.

Exposure Assessments - Determining
your exposure to mold, radon, asbestos, or other
indoor air pollutants
if you suspect that your home contains radon
or asbestos, or if you feel that you are being
exposed to toxins at your workplace, Allied
can assess your level of exposure and determine
any potential health risks. Our staff of environmental
professionals will develop strategies to eliminate
or minimize these risks according to EPA and
OSHA guidelines.
• Mold Abatement Specifications
- Safe and effective protocols for hazardous
material removal
Mold abatement has become one of the hottest
topics in the arena of indoor air quality. While
mold is ubiquitous to our environment, the indoor
environment should always be free of active
mold growth and elevated levels of mold spores
and other fungal particulates.
To achieve this goal, any specifications or
protocols for mold abatement must be clear and
concise. Allied’s professionals add a
measure of common sense and knowledge of risk
assessment to all of our abatement protocols,
which ensures that our clients can return to
their homes or offices quickly and that overall
project costs are reduced. Our step-by-step
abatement procedures are accompanied by photographic
documentation and a full report detailing the
cause of the problem.
• Testing and Sampling
- Latest methods used in testing and sampling,
with laboratory analysis only by accredited
AIHA laboratories
We
believe that indoor air quality sampling should
only be performed to prove or disprove a specific
hypothesis. With regards to mold, we feel that
far too much money is spent on samples that
yield no useful information. Our professionals
can quickly determine precisely what (if any)
sampling is needed to corroborate the information
found in our reports.
All of our samples are analyzed in a laboratory
accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene
Association (AIHA). We currently support the
following analyses:
- Mold
- Airborne (viable and non-viable)
- Bulk
- Surface
- Wall Cavities
- Carpet Dust
- Radon
- Asbestos
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Endotoxins
- Metals
We are adding new analytical procedures all
the time, so please contact us if you have a
specific sampling request. |
