- [Smoke and Fire Residue](https://www.vertenviro.com/smoke-fire-damage-testing/): When fire strikes whether from a kitchen incident, electrical malfunction, vehicle fire, commercial structure fire, or large-scale wildfire time and thoroughness are critical. Every fire produces a unique combination of contaminants and hazards depending on the materials burned, the intensity of the event, and the duration of exposure.

- [Water Quality Testing](https://www.vertenviro.com/water-quality-testing/): Contaminated drinking water affects millions of households annually and most families never know until health problems emerge.

We also offer pH, nutrient, organic matter, and microbial activity assessments to support agricultural projects, landscaping, and site restoration efforts.
