Environmental Services for Real Estate and Property Managers

ECG has enjoyed working with many real estate and property management firms in the Chicagoland area. These firms often retain ECG to address environmental issues of importance to their tenants.

ECG commonly provides the following services to real estate and property managers include:

• Asbestos materials testing and removal

For example, many of ECG’s downtown clients conduct proactive, bi-annual indoor air quality and domestic water testing in their buildings. By doing so, they establish a baseline for air and water quality. ECG tests for over a dozen indoor air quality (IAQ) and water quality parameters.
