Envirotex helped alleviate the stress associated with the flooding of our basement. Although the insurance adjuster was quick to get a company in there to rip out the carpeting and drag it out into our driveway (where it remained for several days), neither the adjuster nor the carrier was concern about the ensuing mold growth that we were seeing on the drywall and ceiling tiles. If not for the professional survey, analysis and report that you furnished detailing the extent of the mold contamination, the cause thereof and the work that was required to be performed, I am certain that we would still be fighting with the insurance company. Thank you, we are very glad that we had Envirotex in our corner!

The Effects of Poor Indoor Air Quality and The Impact on Those Inside
Recently, experts in the medical field - including CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta - have been drawing attention to problems associated with indoor air quality. Estimates show as many as 14 million American children attend public schools that have extremely poor indoor air quality.
Other news agency have been looking at the issue of indoor air quality as well, testing the air in many public places as well as those surrounding young children and infants such as a nursery. The results were staggering to many, and there is a reason: poor indoor air quality can lead to significant health risks.
Tips on improving indoor air quality include:
- Choose unscented products when possible
- Avoid purchasing pressed-wood products for your home and office. Pressed wood and wood composite materials are manufactured using strong glue that contain many chemicals.
- Let all new furniture sit outside for at least one week to air out before bringing it in your home. The same is true of dry cleaning, unwrap it outdoors and let it air out for at least one hour before bringing it in your home.
