RADON TESTING SERVICES

Is This Dangerous Gas Lurking In Your Home?

Radon is a gas that occurs naturally outdoors in harmless amounts. It’s produced from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rocks. It sometimes gets concentrated in homes built on soil with natural uranium deposits. It can enter buildings through cracks in floors or walls, construction joints, or gaps in foundations around pipes, wires or pumps. Radon levels are usually highest in the basement or crawl space. The presence of radon in the home is a serious risk to the health of you and your family.

When radon gas is breathed into the lungs the person is exposed to small amounts of radiation. This radiation may damage the cells in the lining of the lungs and increase a person’s risk of lung cancer. Exposure to the combination of radon gas and cigarette smoke creates a greater risk for lung cancer than either factor alone.

If you think your home is at risk of contamination contact AmeriSpec for a radon test.

Book an appointment to have an AmeriSpec radon test today.

COMMERCIAL BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES

Helping You Understand Your Business Is Our Business.

An AmeriSpec commercial building inspection will give you the answers you need about your property. A single walk-through is all it takes for our trained commercial property inspectors to survey the building, review appropriate documentation, and conduct interviews, if needed, in order to determine the property’s condition and give you peace of mind you need.

The American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) has published a standard guide to performing Property Condition Assessments (PCA). Our inspectors have been trained on the ASTM E2018 standard and use it as a baseline to perform PCAs of commercial buildings. We can work with clients to determine the scope of the inspection depending on their requirements and the age, occupancy, and type of building. This includes anything from performing a general visual examination of the property to a comprehensive inspection of all technical components of the building using a team of specialists.

In addition to information and photographs, the AmeriSpec report provides recommendations for remedying major deficiencies, updating ageing major components, and undertaking further detailed investigation, if required, and the timing associated with those recommendations. Depending on the type of inspection chosen, our inspectors can also include in the report approximate costs for items requiring attention in the short, medium, and long term.

Additional check points for inspection include safety devices used to prevent accidents as well as landscaping around the pool area.

Types of pools

  • Vinyl liners come in a variety of different shapes. A vinyl typically lasts between 10-20 years. These liners may be installed above-ground or in-ground, and are the most popular style for residential pools due to the relative ease of installation and low cost.
  • Fibreglass is usually associated with hot tubs however, pools are often constructed of a moulded fibreglass shell placed in a hole in the ground, or using fibreglass panels that are assembled on-site over a concrete base.

Installation considerations:

  • Soil conditions in the area where the pool will be installed must be considered prior to excavation.
  • Ideal soil conditions would be undisturbed loam
  • Clay, sandy or wet soils, create challenges for the excavation and pool.
  • A soil engineer can determine the type of soil by taking and analyzing core samples.
  • If the soil is expansive clay or sand or if wet soil conditions are present,
