Our Services

Home Biotesting offers environmental testing in Los Angeles for some of the most prevalent and dangerous issues that may pop up in buildings in the LA area. With as much history as our area has, it’s not uncommon to see one or more of the following needs in a single home or business. 

Asbestos Testing

One of the most common testing requests we have is for asbestos or asbestos-containing materials. Our asbestos testing in Los Angeles can identify materials in your home or business that pose a significant risk to your health and the health of those in the building should they be disturbed. 

Asbestos is a group of fibrous minerals that were once hailed as “miracle materials” due to their incredible resistance to heat, fire, and conductivity. The thin fibers are easily separable and can be woven into countless products and materials used across every industry. Asbestos in residential and commercial settings is often seen in pipe insulation, ceiling tiles, fire-retardation materials, and more.

Testing for asbestos includes identifying any asbestos-containing materials in the building and providing details on their composition and condition. This is important because in some cases the asbestos-containing materials can simply be left in place if left undisturbed. Other situations, however, will require that the asbestos-containing materials be removed by a contractor certified to do so safely and in alignment with EPA regulations and requirements.

Mold Inspection

Mold is an incredibly common issue in millions of homes in the LA area, but many homeowners don’t even consider having their home inspected for mold unless it suddenly becomes a very obvious problem, but by that point, the home itself may be hazardous. Working with Home Biotesting to thoroughly inspect and test the building for mold is a reliable way to find out if there is a serious problem you don’t even know about.

Many people think that mold is just a mild inconvenience and a funky smell in the crawlspace, but mold is one of the most underrated but serious threats in the LA home. Many varieties of mold can cause considerable health issues, including creating breathing problems and aggravating asthma and other chronic conditions. 

If your home or business is found to have significant levels of mold present, our mold remediation professional can help you understand your treatment options. There may be multiple remediation options available, but there may be pros and cons associated with them in the context of your specific property, and your environmental expert can help explain all of the details for each.

Lead Paint Testing

Lead paint used to be incredibly common until the damaging effects on developing brains and bodies were discovered. If you aren’t sure if your home or business has lead paint, getting it tested if it’s over 40 years old is a good idea. Not only will it give you the peace of mind of knowing for sure one way or the other, but it will also allow you to begin considering lead abatement options in LA. 

Indoor Air Quality Testing

Testing the indoor air quality in your home or business can give you crucial insight into what contaminants are common, and what measures you may be able to take to improve the situation. Our indoor air quality testing team will show you testing results across a wide range of contaminants, and will offer potential remedies.

Industrial Hygiene Services

We also offer a full range of industrial hygiene analyses and services. We can help quantify potential hazards in the workplace that can result in employees facing sickness, reduced health or injury, or even discomfort. The potential exposures include chemical, biological, ergonomic, and physical. This keeps your business safer and insurance costs lower.
