Mold can grow wherever moisture and a food source are present. Common causes include flooding, roof or plumbing leaks, sewer overflows, and damp basements or crawl spaces. Visible signs such as warped floors or discolored walls and ceilings often indicate underlying moisture problems. If left unaddressed, excess moisture can lead to widespread mold contamination in homes, workplaces, and schools. High mold spore levels may cause allergic reactions, including respiratory issues, eye irritation, and skin rashes, and prolonged growth can result in structural damage.

Asbestos was widely used in building materials due to its strength, fire resistance, and insulating properties. Common asbestos-containing materials include insulation, floor tiles, mastics, roofing materials, ceiling tiles, cement sheets, and fire-resistant drywall. Because asbestos is a known carcinogen, strict regulations govern its identification and management. Only accredited professionals may inspect, analyze, design response actions, and perform abatement, with clearance air monitoring required to confirm completion.
SELC maintains the required accreditations, training, and resources to manage asbestos projects safely and compliantly, providing clients with a single, trusted partner from assessment through clearance.

Legionella occurs naturally in freshwater but becomes a health risk when it grows in poorly maintained man-made water systems. Risk increases in building plumbing systems with prolonged water stagnation, where the bacteria can thrive in biofilms found in cooling towers and potable water systems. Legionella spreads to people through inhalation of small airborne water droplets.
Proper maintenance of building water systems is critical to reducing the risk of Legionella growth and transmission. SELC partners with clients to conduct Legionella risk assessments and develop water management plans in compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188.
Medicare- and Medicaid-certified healthcare facilities are required by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to assess Legionella risks and implement a formal water management program to prevent Legionella and other waterborne diseases.
