Coliforms/E. Coli
Coliforms are often referred to as ‘indicator organisms’. In and of themselves they are not pathogenic; however their presence in the environment can indicate that conditions are favorable for pathogens to be present. Generic E. coli is also a Coliform, but of fecal origin. The presence of generic E. coli in a sample indicates fecal contamination. The Total Coliform/E. coli test is a fast inexpensive way to assess the cleanliness of an environment or food, and can also be used to glean information regarding the potential for other contamination.

Did You Know?
- Legionella can thrive in building water systems that are underused or improperly maintained.
- E. coli in drinking water is a major health risk, especially for children and older individuals.
- Bacteria can remain hidden in porous building materials even after water damage is cleaned up.
Other Services
Asbestos Surveys
When are asbestos surveys needed?
Anytime there will be a renovation or repair. Since the main asbestos regulations are related to worker safety, air quality, disposal of hazardous waste and local permits there will almost always be one of the regulations that are applicable. This can be confusing because of the overlap of regulations in Southern California.
Lead Paint Inspections
Do my painting projects need a lead paint test?
Lead is toxic and consequently causes health and behavioral problems, especially in children. Because of this, a lead paint survey or lead paint samples are necessary when paint is disturbed on a structure built before 1978.
Mold Inspections
Could I have mold in my home?
Mold can grow within 24-48 hours after a bad water incident, so getting a mold inspection is a great way to obtain a full evaluation of your home or building. We care about your peace of mind, so if you are concerned about the presence of mold or water damage, please call us today.
