EMLab P&K Increases Mold Testing and Bacteria Testing Capacity to Support Northern and Southern California After Flooding

EMLab P&K added local and overall mold testing and bacteria testing capacity to support Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area.

San Bruno, CA, January 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In response to flooding in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, EMLab P&K has added local and overall mold testing and bacteria testing capacity, including weekend and emergency staffing, to support the increased need for environmental testing. As the nation’s leading environmental testing laboratory, EMLab P&K maintains a strong presence in California with AIHA accredited labs in Northern California at San Bruno and Sacramento and in Southern California at Glendale, Orange County, and San Diego.

As property owners return to their homes and businesses, the buildings may appear to be irreparable, but some buildings may be salvageable through remediation. In addition to losing personal possessions, property owners must deal with the potential for bacterial contamination, mold growth, sewage contamination and other environmental health concerns caused by flooding and water damage. After remediation is completed, property owners should have a qualified IAQ professional perform mold testing and bacteria testing to confirm the remediation was successful. Property owners who need a qualified IAQ professional can contact EMLab P&K for a referral.

“EMLab P&K has been staying informed about the flooding situations in Northern and Southern California. We have also teamed up with TestAmerica to offer a wide range of environmental testing lab services to help the states address emerging health concerns quickly,” said Belinda Vega, EMLab P&K’s President. “During a critical time like this, our proactive approach has an immediate and positive impact with the lab services we are able to provide. As always, clients can expect and trust the quality and accuracy of our lab analysis.”

EMLab P&K, a TestAmerica company, is one of the leading commercial indoor air quality laboratories in North America with over 60 service and drop-off locations throughout the United States. EMLab P&K specializes in the analysis of air and surface samples for mold, bacteria, fungi, asbestos, allergens and USP 797. EMLab P&K also offers PCR testing, radon analysis, and materials testing.
