Common reasons to get tested

Environmental concerns can arise at any stage of homeownership. Here are the situations we see most often.

Buying a home

A standard home inspection doesn't test for mold, air quality, or water contaminants. Add ESG to your due diligence before you close, and make your decision with independent data.

Health concerns

If you are concerned about the environment inside your home, testing documents the conditions present at the time of service. ESG evaluates and documents environmental conditions. ESG does not diagnose medical conditions or determine whether a building condition caused symptoms. Results may be shared with a qualified healthcare provider.

Visible mold or musty smell

If you can see it or smell it, independent testing documents what is actually there. ESG does not perform remediation, so the findings are not tied to selling corrective work.

Remodeling or renovation

Disturbing walls, flooring, or older building materials can release mold spores, lead dust, and VOCs. Test before and after so conditions are documented for your family and contractors.

Services for homeowners

Residential environmental testing, from a single concern to a broader review of the accessible areas of your home.

We never remediate, and that protects you

Many environmental testing companies also sell remediation services. On the surface that seems convenient. But think about what it means: the company testing your home profits more if they find a serious problem. That's a direct conflict of interest.

ESG has never offered remediation and never will. Our entire business is built on one thing: providing accurate, unbiased test results. When your tester has no financial stake in the outcome, there is no incentive to inflate findings.

If remediation is needed, we'll tell you. We can even help you understand the scope so you can evaluate bids from contractors without being taken advantage of. But we'll never be that contractor, and that line will never blur.

Our Commitment
"When your tester has no financial stake in finding problems, there is no incentive to inflate them."

ESG's independence is the foundation of every report we deliver. No upsell. No inflated findings. No pressure. Just clear, objective results you can act on with confidence, whether that means doing nothing, monitoring, or calling a remediation contractor.

Simple. Transparent. Thorough.

Getting your home tested is easier than you think. Here's what to expect from start to finish.

1

Call or schedule online

Reach us by phone at 336-373-1538 or submit a request through our contact form. We'll confirm the right service for your situation and schedule your visit.

2

On-site testing

A certified ESG technician arrives at your home, inspects the accessible areas of concern, and collects air, surface, or water samples as appropriate. Most visits take 1 to 2 hours.

3

Lab analysis

Your samples are sent to an accredited independent laboratory for analysis. Results typically return within 3 to 5 business days depending on the test type.

4

Clear report delivered

You receive a written report with your lab results, an expert interpretation of the findings, and clear recommendations for next steps, in plain language, not jargon.

Findings apply to the accessible areas, conditions, locations, measurements, and samples evaluated at the time of service. They do not establish conditions throughout the building or guarantee future conditions.

Schedule your home assessment

Replace guesswork with documented conditions. Independent testing gives you findings you can act on, from a company that has nothing to gain but your trust.
