Perspective & Experience

Environmental Testing, Consulting, Investigating, and Sampling Services

Plateau's approach is multifaceted, utilizing skills and procedures that are state of the art. Our experience base is formed through over twenty years of building-oriented diagnostics and investigation in structures as diverse as power plants, hospitals, schools, commercial and residential properties.

Plateau Environmental follows a “holistic” approach that considers how a building is designed, operated, and where it is situated.

Plateau strives to provide the most cost-effective solutions for the problem at hand. We value your health as we value ours. The place where you live or work should be a source of health and well-being, not a source of discontent and contamination.
