Our preliminary determination and remediation services are performed in accordance with applicable industrial hygiene standards and government regulations. EnviroBliss is an American Council for Accredited Certification (formerly American Indoor Air Quality Council) certified- Microbial Remediation company. We also hold EPA’s Universal certification in the Air Conditioning Technology. Our indoor e
nvironmental evaluation includes an evaluation of the HVAC system’s hygienic condition. This evaluation also provides a visual and non-invasive walk through inspection to identify allergen chemical vapor emitting sources and to evaluate any water damage, mold, and odor problems. Once done, we ensure an accurate report specifying our observations, test results, and recommendations for effective and cost-efficient remediation. Our recommendations also include engineering controls to provide the safety and health of workers and occupants. Other recommendations are also provided for routine maintenance improvements that can prevent a recurrence of such conditions. From our experience performing thousands of indoor environmental evaluations and clean-ups of homes, and offices, we have learned that most environmental problems that lead to allergic, asthmatic, and toxic responses are caused by any discoloration on water damaged sheet-rock, painted plaster, and ceiling tiles indicates probable fungal growth. Any black discoloration on these surfaces indicates probable toxigenic fungal growth which must be removed with extreme care. Greenish discoloration on these surfaces indicates probable penicillium growth. Or if dirt and debris have accumulated within the HVAC system, microbial growth can occur when sufficient moisture becomes available. Reports of chronic sinusitis are common in buildings with fan-coil units (combination A/C and heating units installed beneath windows in most buildings) that contain damaged or deteriorated fiberglass insulation and fungal growth. Similar problems are common in the air handlers and ductwork. High levels of toxic, infectious, allergenic, fungal, and bacterial growth are frequently detected in these systems. In interior bathrooms and kitchens, exhaust openings are required by NYC Building Code to have suction 24 hours/day. Otherwise, particles including mold, bacteria, and tobacco smoke are likely to infiltrate into the living space through these openings.
