Radon testing
Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless gas that can pose significant health risks if present at elevated levels. Alpine Building Performance utilizes advanced electronic radon testing equipment to ensure accurate and reliable results. Our process involves placing a small electronic radon monitor in the lowest living space of the property, such as a basement or ground floor. The device collects hourly air samples over a 48-hour period, providing a comprehensive assessment of radon levels.
This method is minimally invasive, requires no input or maintenance from the customer, and delivers immediate results upon retrieval by our certified technicians. If elevated radon levels are detected, we can provide recommendations for certified contractors to install a mitigation system. Costs for mitigation vary depending on the scope of the project.
sewer scope inspection
A sewer scope inspection use a specialized camera to evaluate the condition of a property's sewer line, helping to identify potential issues such as obstructions, broken pipes, or root intrusions. A sewer backup can lead to extensive damage and costly repairs. Sewer line issues often require significant excavation and, in some cases, street or sidewalk repairs. Repairs can range from $5,000 for minor fixes to $25,000 or more for extensive work involving public infrastructure.
Mold+air quality testing
Airborne mold spores can pose health risks, even in the absence of visible mold growth. ABP offers professional testing as an add-on to our commercial inspection services. This service includes three air samples, which are sent to a nationally accredited laboratory for analysis. Additional samples can be ordered in advance or requested on-site.
Our air + mold testing service is designed to:
Identify and quantify mold spores present in the air.
Provide detailed reports within 24 business hours.
water quality testing
Understanding the quality of a property’s water supply is crucial for health and safety. ABP’s water quality testing identifies harmful pollutants and evaluates overall water safety. Our testing package includes:
Sampling from the primary water source.

Assessment of pH, alkalinity, hardness, and chlorine levels.
Tests are conducted by our Environmental Department, and reports delivered within 24 hours.
lead-based paint inspection
Buildings built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, which poses significant health risks, especially to children and pregnant women. ABP’s lead-based paint inspection service identifies potential hazards and provides actionable insights to ensure a safe living or working environment.
Key considerations for lead-based paint inspections:
Before Purchasing or Renting: Federal law requires sellers and landlords to disclose known lead-based paint hazards for properties built before 1978. Buyers and renters are entitled to a 10-day inspection period.
Before Renovations or Repairs: Renovating older properties can disturb lead-based paint, releasing harmful dust or chips. Identifying and addressing these risks beforehand ensures safety.
