Frequently Asked Questions
Both. Peak works directly with homeowners and businesses, but also regularly supports insurers, attorneys, and contractors — whether that's a pre-purchase inspection, a compliance audit for a construction firm, or litigation support and expert witness testimony when a health or safety issue is in dispute.
An industrial hygienist identifies, evaluates, and controls hazards that can affect health and safety in a home, workplace, or job site — things like asbestos, lead, mold, poor air quality, and chemical or physical exposures. At Peak, that means inspecting your property or site, testing where needed, and giving you clear, actionable findings instead of a binder full of jargon.
DIY test kits can tell you something is present, but they can't tell you the extent of the problem, whether it's actually hazardous at the levels found, or what to do about it. A CIH-led assessment gives you a defensible, documented result — which matters if you're making a real estate decision, filing an insurance claim, or need something that will hold up if a dispute ever ends up in litigation.
Timelines depend on the size of the property or site and what's being tested, but most residential assessments are scheduled within days, and lab-dependent results (like asbestos or mold samples) typically come back within a week. Peak will give you a clear estimate of timing before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
