Hellman & Associates, Inc. is a full service environmental, health and safety consulting firm. We have over 15 years experience with Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), assessments including building occupant complaint investigations, mold assessments and abatement specifications, bioaerosol monitoring for fungi and bacteria, and additional chemical and building product and system investigations.

Moisture intrusion and water damage in buildings is one of the most significant causes of mold growth attributing to poor indoor air quality and the deterioration of building materials. Hellman & Associate’s Indoor Air Quality Assessment Protocol is tailored to address these potential problems and provide the building owner with various options to alleviate any problems. In addition to the bioaerosol and surface sampling for both viable and non-viable contaminants, we routinely conduct moisture testing of building materials to determine potential damage and whether or not the material is acting as a reservoir for the proliferation of fungal growth.

After a thorough assessment of the potential problem and evaluation of the need for remediation, Hellman & Associates will design project specifications for the removal of microbial growth on building materials or the removal and replacement of impacted building materials. Based on the level of microbial contamination, the work plan will establish the level of environmental protection required to protect uncontaminated areas and the workers performing the remediation.

Hellman & Associates will provide the building owner with contract administration to provide a comprehensive project history of the activities, which took place during the remediation, and the level of cleanliness achieved upon completion. Hellman & Associates would act as the owner's agent in this regard and collect air samples, surface samples, review the contractor's work procedures for compliance with the specifications and applicable regulations, and document deficiencies observed. This project history is regarded by many building owner's as the best form of insurance from future liability claims arising from the microbial remediation work.
