Environmental Testing

In addition to our residential and commercial property inspections in Connecticut, Schaefer Inspection Service offers a full range of environmental testing services tailored to your property and specific concerns.

All testing is performed in accordance with the highest industry standards, providing accurate results and peace of mind for homeowners, buyers, and investors.

We use a continuous electronic monitoring system to provide precise and reliable results. This testing includes:

• Hourly radon level readings
• Carbon monoxide monitoring
• Temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure tracking

These environmental factors help ensure accurate interpretation of radon levels within the home.

For properties with private wells, we offer comprehensive water quality testing in Connecticut to evaluate safety and potability.

Tests for general water quality, including common chemicals, bacteria, and physical characteristics to determine if the water is safe for consumption.

Elevated radon levels in water can contribute to airborne radon levels and may pose health risks when ingested.

Detects unsafe levels of naturally occurring contaminants that can make water hazardous.

Identifies the presence of lead in drinking water, which can pose serious health risks.

A well flow test measures the water supply’s capacity in gallons per minute (GPM) over a one-hour period. This ensures the well can adequately support the needs of the household.

Our standard inspection identifies visible signs of moisture intrusion. For a more detailed analysis, we offer mold testing in Connecticut through air sampling.

Our process includes:

• One exterior sample to establish a baseline
• Two interior samples taken in areas most likely to contain mold
• Laboratory analysis of all samples
• A detailed written report outlining mold types and concentrations

This information helps determine whether remediation may be necessary.

Crumbling foundations are a known concern in Connecticut. Schaefer Inspection Service can assist with evaluation and next steps.
