Paul and his team are fabulous, top-notch experts. Paul very generously spoke with me prior to the inspection to answer all of my questions and concerns. From his answers, I could tell his expertise was a cut above the other inpectors I spoke with, and that he really cared about doing a great job and protecting his customers' health. He wasn't salesy, quite the opposite, he genuinely wanted to make sure I had the info I needed to portect my health. On inspection day, they were here for hours, and tested surface samples, air spore levels, moisture inside walls, VOCs, humidity, and compared levels to outdoor spore counts so he could isolate indoor vs. outdoor exposure. He took the samples to the lab himself, the results came back fast, and he wrote an extremely helpful and detailed report, including a suggested remediation plan that the remediation company we hired utilized. Then, after remediation, his team tested again to make sure that all the mold was removed. I appreciated having our inspection done by a different company than the remediation company, to remove any concern for conflict of interest. Paul also referred us to a fantastic mold remediation company, and to other experts we needed to resolve our situation. If you are in their geographic area of service, I would 100% recommend you choose them.

I write to sing the praises of NoVA Environmental Solutions. I had the good fortune to consult with Paul Burger and found him to be knowledgeable and VERY patient in explaining things and answering my endless questions. He cared more about sharing knowledge than making a sale - you do not often find business that are ethical and caring in this day and age. And no, I don't know anyone personally at this company. This is an unsolicited rave review!!!!

I contacted NoVA Environmental Solutions because I needed to have an old abandoned farm house near New Market tested for asbestos before the county would issue a demolition permit. Paul spoke with me on the phone to explain how the process worked, and was able to schedule an appointment at the property the following week. He arrived on time to the appointment, and answered the questions I had during and after his inspection and taking of samples to be tested. The lab results were back within 3 business days, and NES' accompanying, detailed report met the county requirements for the permit. NES was professional and courteous from start to finish, and the fees were quite reasonable. One other factor for me in choosing them was that NES does not do asbestos abatement, or post-abatement testing; thus, even if the samples had tested positive for asbestos, NES stood no possibility of gaining further work from me. I would definitely recommend this company without hesitation to anyone seeking an honest and professional asbestos testing service.

Outstanding service! I am the property Manager for a 102 unit building and I've been a client for 3 years. Nova, headed by Paul Burger has been lead and point for 2 of my major floods requiring testing and analysis, and invaluable. Paul is an highly professional, trusted Industrial Hygienist.

As a Property Manger, I have used NoVA Environmental for testing of asbestos, mold and microbial growth and have been very satisfied with their fast response, testing and reports provided. I would highly recommend their services.
