Industrial Hygiene Services
Asbestos is a mineral fiber which, when people are exposed to it, can increase their risk of cancer. Due to the risks of asbestos, municipalities across the United States require asbestos testing during property transfers to inform owners on the possibilities of the existence of asbestos on the site. Fulcrum employs a team of engineers who are trained and licensed to assess sites, safely obtaining samples to test for the existence of asbestos on a site.
Lead Paint Testing
Since paints applied prior to 1978 were manufactured with lead, state and federal laws require testing for lead paint. Fulcrum inspectors are able to use state-of-the-art XRF technology to perform non-invasive testing of all surfaces including plaster and drywall. Fulcrum inspectors are licensed and insured to meet our client’s needs

Radon Testing
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and chemically inert radioactive gas that is formed by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. It can be found in all 50 states and testing for it is the only way of telling how much is present. No level of radon exposure is safe, however, the EPA recommends occupant’s long-term exposure be less than 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). When property owners, buyers, or lenders wish to understand the radon level of a site, Fulcrum is able to help support their efforts through accurate measurement and monitoring of a building’s radon levels.
