A sub-surface sewage disposal system, commonly known as a septic system, consists of two main components: the septic tank also known as the treatment tank, the distribution box, and the drainage area, often referred to as the leach field. The system also includes a main sewer line that connects all the plumbing fixtures to the septic tank and a distribution box that connects the septic tank to the drainage field. In our experience, the septic tank is usually buried approximately 10-20 feet from the dwelling.

The purpose of a septic system is to treat and dispose of wastewater generated by the occupants. When properly installed and adequately maintained, septic systems are more economical than sanitary sewers and just as efficient.

Radon is a colorless and odorless gas from radioactive elements. It naturally occurs in the soil and breaks down into radon gas and other isotopes. If you wonder if there is a buildup of radon on your property, we can test for that. We also offer services for air quality, asbestos removal, and mold remediation in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Radon gas continues to undergo radioactive decay, producing new naturally formed radioactive material. These new radon progenies, which are solid, can stick to dust particles or smoke in the air. This can be inhaled and deposited on the linings of the lungs where it continues to emit alpha energy. 

Studies by the United States EPA indicate that the result of extended exposure to high levels of radon gas/radon progeny produces an increased risk of lung cancer. They rate radon exposure as the second leading cause of lung cancer, while cigarette smoking remains the first.

Mold is found both indoors as well as outdoors and is a very simple microscopic organism. Mold breaks down dead material and requires a food source such as moisture to grow. Since it reproduces at such high rates, it gradually destroys whatever it grows on. Mold growth on surfaces can be found due to discoloration, usually green, gray, brown, or black, but can also be found in almost any color.
