Before You Call IR Environmental

1. Do you also do remediation? If so, who checks your work?
2. How many air samples will you take, and will you take an outdoor control sample?
3. Is your firm certified under the federal lead renovation rule?
4. Will you set up containment and do cleaning verification at the end?

Ask for the company’s California contractor license number and look it up with the Contractors State License Board. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the technicians doing the drying or mold work.

They list no storefront. Ask where the business is based and whether the crew is their own.
