In the fast-paced world of real estate, timing, trust, and transparency are everything. Whether you’re helping a young couple purchase their first home or guiding seasoned investors through a property portfolio, one thing remains constant — unexpected environmental issues can make or break a deal.


That’s where Lighthouse Environmental becomes your most reliable partner. Our comprehensive testing services for mold, asbestos, radon, and water quality help real estate agents and their clients make informed, confident decisions—before they sign on the dotted line.


🌿 Mold Testing: The Unseen Threat in Any Home

Mold is one of the most common concerns uncovered during home inspections, and it can raise red flags for even the most enthusiastic buyer. Moisture intrusion, poor ventilation, or hidden leaks can lead to mold growth behind walls, under floors, or in HVAC systems.


When a home inspector notes possible mold, Lighthouse Environmental steps in to provide independent, New York state-licensed mold assessment services. We perform detailed visual inspections, air quality testing, and lab analysis to identify the type and concentration of mold present.


By pinpointing the exact cause and extent of contamination, we help buyers and sellers avoid unnecessary remediation—or worse, missed hazards. This clear, objective data helps agents keep deals moving forward with confidence.


💧 Water Quality Testing: Safety Starts at the Tap

Especially for homes with private wells, water testing is a crucial step. Contaminants like bacteria, lead, nitrates, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can compromise the health of the occupants.


Lighthouse Environmental conducts comprehensive water testing to determine the safety and potability of the home’s water supply. Our detailed lab reports clearly outline any issues, allowing buyers and sellers to take corrective action before closing.


🧱 Asbestos Testing: Protecting Clients from a Silent Risk

Homes built before the 1980s often contain asbestos in materials such as floor tiles, insulation, siding, or ceiling textures. Even minor renovations or updates can disturb these fibers, posing serious health risks.


When home inspectors' flag possible asbestos-containing materials, real estate agents can rely on Lighthouse Environmental’s licensed professionals to handle sampling and testing safely. Our accurate reports ensure compliance with state regulations and give your clients peace of mind.


With our clear results, agents can guide negotiations or remediation decisions confidently avoiding costly delays and protecting their clients’ health.


☢️ Radon Testing: The Invisible Gas with Real Consequences

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter homes through cracks in foundations or crawl spaces. It’s colorless, odorless, and responsible for thousands of lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S.


During property transactions, radon testing is often overlooked—but it shouldn’t be. We provide certified radon testing that meets state and EPA standards, ensuring your clients know exactly what they’re dealing with before closing.


A simple test today could prevent major health and liability issues down the road.
