RTK Helps You Avoid Unnecessary Repairs 

Because RTK only conducts testing and consulting—never remediation—you can trust that our assessments are 100% unbiased and accurate. If we find a problem, you hire a separate remediation firm. Once remediation is complete, RTK will return to ensure the issue was properly resolved and provide expert guidance to prevent future problems. 

With offices in White Plains, RTK Environmental Group serves all of Westchester County, leading the field in environmental testing and consulting. Our professionals are certified, licensed, and fully insured. 

Westchester County Mold Testing Services 

Mold is commonly caused by water leaks, basement flooding, poor drainage, roof damage, and pipe breaks. Left unchecked, mold spreads quickly by releasing airborne spores, which can lead to serious health issues such as chronic allergies, headaches, fatigue, skin rashes, throat and eye irritation, and respiratory problems, including asthma. Often, mold hides behind walls, ceilings, and under flooring, making it difficult to detect without professional testing. 

Toxic mold is especially dangerous, as it contains poisonous mycotoxins that pose severe health risks. To protect your home, business, and family, contact RTK to accurately locate and assess mold contamination. RTK is licensed and certified by New York State. 

Certified Lead Inspection in Westchester, NY 

If your home was built before 1978, scheduling a lead inspection before remodeling or renovating is crucial. Lead poisoning is the #1 preventable childhood disease in the U.S. Exposure can occur through paint chips, tap water, household dust, and contaminated soil. 

In Westchester County, more than 80% of homes and apartments were built before the 1978 lead paint ban, meaning many still contain lead-based paint. Lead dust accumulates over time and can be disturbed during renovations, posing serious health risks—especially to children and pregnant women. 

While home test kits exist, the EPA warns that they are not always reliable. To ensure safety, hire a New York State-certified professional like RTK. Always choose a contractor certified in lead-safe work practices before starting a renovation.  

Westchester Asbestos Inspection & Testing 

If you are renovating or demolishing a home or building built before 1980, you should test for asbestos first. Even inhaling a few asbestos fibers can cause lung cancer and other respiratory diseases. 

RTK’s asbestos professionals are licensed by the New York State Department of Health and certified under the federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Our comprehensive asbestos services include site surveys, bulk, air, and soil sampling, detailed reports, and prioritization plans. If asbestos removal is necessary, we develop an abatement plan for use by a third-party remediation firm. Once the process is complete, RTK can conduct clearance testing to confirm asbestos has been removed according to EPA safety standards. 

Before any renovation or demolition project, schedule an asbestos inspection to protect your property and health. 

Indoor Air Quality Testing in Westchester County 

Indoor air pollution is often worse than outdoor air pollution. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that indoor levels of pollutants can be up to 100 times higher than outdoor levels. Many common pollutants—such as radon, VOCs, carbon monoxide, and fine particles from wood-burning stoves—can cause serious health issues. 

RTK Environmental tests for a range of air pollutants and asthma triggers like dust mites and insect debris. For businesses and commercial buildings, RTK also investigates Sick Building Syndrome, which can cause chronic illness and reduced productivity. After identifying the root cause of air quality issues, we provide a detailed report with actionable solutions. Once remediation is completed, RTK verifies that the issue has been fully resolved. 

Because RTK only tests and never remediates, our results are always accurate and unbiased.
