Testing Services

 Testing for asbestos through bulk, air, and dust sampling is a vital part of our environmental testing services. Our Colorado and EPA-certified asbestos inspectors, air monitoring specialists, and management planners provide accurate inspections and reporting. As a Colorado State certified asbestos consulting firm, we also perform pre-renovation and pre-demolition environmental testing to ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind for homeowners, contractors, and businesses. 

 Our environmental testing services include lead-based paint testing and risk assessments for pre-renovation and demolition projects. As an EPA-registered inspector and Colorado State certified lead-based paint consulting firm, we provide accurate lead testing to ensure compliance, safety and disposal of hazardous materials.  

Our certified inspectors use advanced diagnostic tools and air sampling equipment to detect mold spores in the air, on surfaces, and within building materials. We provide both surface sampling and air quality testing, allowing us to locate mold growth that may be hidden behind walls, under flooring, or in crawlspaces. By combining visual inspections with laboratory analysis, we ensure reliable results that meet industry and regulatory standards. 

Our team of licensed professional engineers specializes in designing effective structural drying programs to address water damage, moisture intrusion, and high-loss situations. Every project is supported by detailed environmental testing to ensure the safety, compliance, and long-term protection of your property.

We also provide advanced Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring and moisture mapping, using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to identify hidden risks. By combining engineering expertise with environmental testing, we create custom drying strategies that minimize damage, control costs, and speed up recovery.

For property owners and insurance providers, our environmental pre-response actions are a vital safeguard. These proactive services allow us to assess hazards, develop safe work plans, and document compliance before restoration begins. As a trusted partner to insurance companies, Plateau is recognized as a high-loss damage specialist, providing the detailed reporting and technical expertise required for complex claims.

Whether you are managing a large commercial facility or addressing water damage in a residential property, Plateau delivers a proven combination of structural drying design, environmental testing, and compliance-driven solutions. Our mission is to protect both your investment and the health of building occupants with professional, certified services you can rely on.

 Our Professional Litigation Support services provide attorneys, property owners, and insurers with expert analysis and testimony in cases involving catastrophic losses, water damage, and environmental hazards. With decades of experience in building diagnostics, environmental testing, and forensic engineering, our team delivers the technical expertise and credibility needed to support complex legal cases.

We offer expert witness testimony and consulting for disputes related to fungal growth causation and exposure, landlord-tenant cases, and warranty of habitability claims. Our investigations include a detailed review of property conditions, environmental testing, and scientific analysis to provide clear, defensible findings.

Our Failure Analysis and Design services provide in-depth evaluations and solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. 

We specialize in Building Envelope Modeling and Roof and Wall Assembly assessments to identify weaknesses that lead to water intrusion, air leakage, and energy loss. Using Infrared Thermal Imaging, we detect hidden moisture, insulation voids, and structural concerns, enabling proactive solutions before small issues become costly failures.

Our services extend to specialized Ventilation Systems Design for improved indoor air quality and humidity control. We conduct ventilation effectiveness evaluations and tracer gas analysis to ensure proper airflow, contaminant control, and occupant comfort. For properties in high-altitude regions like Telluride, Gunnison, and Silverton, we provide custom crawlspace retrofits designed to enhance thermal performance, indoor air quality, and humidity regulation.

Water management is a critical component of building health, which is why we perform detailed waterproofing and drainage inspections. 

By combining advanced diagnostic tools with engineering expertise, we provide reliable analysis, actionable solutions, and professional designs that strengthen building performance.
