Cleaning up Colorado.
The AEC team is here to guide you through the safe removal of many dangerous carcinogens from your home or place of work, ensuring the health of your family, friends and co-workers.
What can we help you with?
Asbestos
Asbestos-containing materials are readily available even though asbestos mining has been banned in the United States. Asbestos can be found in nearly every kind of building material and its fibers are carcinogenic. The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment requires building materials that potentially contain asbestos to be tested prior to removal.
Lead
Lead exposure can cause long-lasting, severe effects to all, especially those under 6 years of age. Lead-based paint (LBP) is present in roughly 83% of all housing stock in the private sector and becomes hazardous when chipped or unsettled. The EPA regulates LBP as a toxic substance; Colorado governs inspection and assessment activities for LBP on properties built prior to 1978.
Mold
Molds are fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors. They grow on virtually any organic substance and readily spread to reproduce more spores. Persons exposed to certain spores or high levels can have severe reactions and other health problems. Mold growth can cause serious damage to structural elements in your home and it’s presence may not always be apparent.
Water
Ground water can be categorized into different levels depending on the measure of cleanliness and the severity of the contamination. Health risks may be present if contaminated with bacteria, toxins, and other chemicals. The Environmental Protection Agency set forth procedures under the Wastewater and Sewage Screening Act to determine intrusion and mitigate the water loss.
Radon
Radon is an odorless, tasteless, invisible gas produced by the natural decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water which gets into the air. Radon gas can get into any building through cracks in construction joints, gaps around pipes, wall cavities, and more. Radon is estimated to be the second leading contributor to lung cancer after smoking. The EPA recommends testing for radon levels in all homes and schools.
