What We Do

Precision environmental testing for high-stakes decisions

Inspections & Testing

Find what’s in the building before it becomes a shutdown. Asbestos, lead, mold, radon and meth, sampled and analyzed to state protocol.

  • Asbestos inspections & spill delineation
  • XRF lead-based paint testing
  • Mold, radon and meth testing
  • Soil and water sampling

Clearance Testing

Post-remediation sign-off that lets the contractor demobilize and the building reopen. Onsite PCM means same-day results.

  • Asbestos clearances
  • Mold clearances
  • Lead clearances
  • Methamphetamine clearances

Site Assessments

Due diligence that quantifies environmental risk and remediation cost before capital is committed to a property.

  • Phase I and Phase II ESA
  • Contaminated-soil assessment
  • Groundwater monitoring
  • Remedial action plans & closure

Project Management

Abatement designs, oversight and air monitoring from scope through sign-off — plus expert-witness and litigation support.

  • Asbestos project designs & O&M plans
  • Abatement oversight
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Expert-witness services

DS performed all final air clearances for asbestos abatement across the full complex ahead of demolition — coordinating sampling, onsite PCM analysis and documentation so the abatement contractor and demolition crew never waited on results.

Regulatory Violations

Same-Day Clearance

Our own CDPHE-certified lab and NIOSH-certified microscopists mean onsite PCM results the same day — your abatement contractor demobilises on schedule, not next week.

Regulatory Fluency

We know CDPHE Regulation 8 and the local permit desks cold. Our owner co-chairs CEPA’s Regulatory Affairs Committee. Our reports don’t come back for revision.

Cross-Certified Team

Every specialist is cross-trained across asbestos, lead, mold, radon and meth. One firm, one point of contact, whatever the site turns up.

Our Approach

A disciplined process,
every project

01

Call & Scope

We establish what the building is, what triggered the work, and which regulation applies. You get a fixed scope and price.

02

Site Inspection

A certified specialist surveys the site, identifies suspect materials, and collects samples under state protocol.

03

Lab Analysis

Samples go to our CDPHE-certified lab. Onsite PCM clearance results come back the same day.

04

Report & Strategy

You receive a regulator-ready report with findings, quantities and a recommended path — abatement scope, permitting, or all-clear.

05

Oversight & Clearance

We monitor abatement, run final clearances, and issue the documentation that closes the project out.
