June 2005 — Present (4 years 6 months)
Parlaying my prior experiences and training in restoration, remediation and abatement, I started EAS as a premier Indoor Air Quality and restoration consulting firm. We specialize in Asbestos, Mold and Thermal Imaging.
The business plan for EAS originated and evolved from a software package by DryStandard. I was heavily involved in field testing and advisory of the product from a market standpoint. By early 2006 EAS evolved to become a premier IAQ Consulting firm.
Use of new technologies (BioTrace, Thermal Imaging, QPCR, DryStandard) have always played a key role at EAS. We aim to set the standard in our industry. We provide third party estimates for insurance adjusters using Xactimate 25.
