Despite their often well polished appearance, modern buildings present a wide variety of possible environmental hazards. While most problems are minor, science has increasingly recognized the potential for serious adverse health effects stemming from the indoor environment.
Although largely removed from the public consciousness, many older buildings still contain asbestos and lead based paint. Both of these products have the potential to sicken a building's occupants and both impose direct limitations on what an owner may do to his or her building. Members of TSP's staff have been helping to inspect for and abate these hazards for decades. See our pages on
TSP is also involved in the broader work of improving indoor air quality. Unlike asbestos and lead based paint, which are limited and diminishing in quantity, the greatest indoor air quality threat is biological; a hazard may literally show up one day and begin to grow. TSP's Mold Remediation service has matured along with the industry to provide a comprehensive solution to the detection and removal of toxigenic species of mold.
Whether the ultimate intent is renovation or demolition, or simply to achieve a healthier indoor environment, TSP has services available to solve the pressing concerns of today.
