Asbestos Abatement
Alpha Environmental provides certified asbestos abatement services for residential and commercial properties. Our licensed professionals use OSHA-compliant methods to safely remove and dispose of asbestos-containing materials. We conduct thorough inspections of insulation, flooring, roofing, and other materials to identify hazards. With specialized containment systems and HEPA filtration, we prevent fiber spread while ensuring regulatory compliance. Clients receive detailed documentation confirming proper disposal and clearance testing.
Mold Remediation
Our mold remediation services address contamination in homes and businesses across Portland's high-humidity environment. Certified inspectors use moisture meters and air quality testing to identify hidden growth. The process includes HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatments, and structural repairs to prevent recurrence. We follow strict containment protocols to isolate spores during removal. Post-remediation verification ensures complete elimination of hazardous mold colonies from attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
Radon Mitigation
Alpha Environmental offers EPA-recommended radon mitigation systems for homes and commercial buildings. Our technicians install sub-slab depressurization systems that vent radioactive gases safely outdoors. We conduct long-term testing to determine exposure levels before designing customized solutions. All installations include continuous monitoring capabilities and meet DEQ requirements. Clients receive detailed reports showing post-mitigation radon concentrations below EPA action levels.
Sewer Repair
We specialize in trenchless sewer repair using pipe-bursting technology that minimizes landscape disruption. Our inspections use high-resolution cameras to diagnose root intrusion, corrosion, and blockages. The trenchless method replaces damaged lines with durable HDPE piping while maintaining structural integrity. Emergency services address backups and leaks with 24/7 response availability. All repairs include lifetime warranties against recurrence.
Tank Decommissioning
Our DEQ-licensed team handles underground storage tank decommissioning following strict environmental protocols. The process includes tank location verification using ground-penetrating radar, soil sampling for contamination, and complete removal or in-situ closure. We perform soil matrix cleanups and risk assessments to meet regulatory standards. Clients receive closure documentation for property transactions, including compliance certificates for heating oil tanks and hazardous material storage systems.
Questions
What environmental services does Alpha Environmental offer?
We provide asbestos testing and abatement, mold remediation, radon mitigation, sewer repair, underground storage tank decommissioning, hazardous waste disposal, lead testing, and comprehensive environmental assessments for residential and commercial properties.
How can I identify asbestos in my home?
Professional testing is required for accurate identification. Our certified inspectors use specialized equipment to sample materials like insulation, flooring, and roofing. Testing confirms asbestos presence through laboratory analysis of collected samples.
What are signs of mold contamination?
Visible mold growth, musty odors, water stains, and allergy symptoms like sneezing or eye irritation may indicate mold. Our inspections use moisture meters and air quality tests to detect hidden growth in attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
Why is radon testing important?
Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Testing identifies dangerous gas levels in homes and businesses. We recommend long-term testing (91-365 days) for accurate exposure assessment, especially in high-risk areas like Portland.
Do you offer emergency environmental services?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency response for urgent situations like water pipe bursts, mold contamination, and hazardous material leaks. Our team arrives promptly to contain damage and begin remediation processes.
How long does tank decommissioning take?
Most projects complete within 5-7 days, including site assessment, tank removal, soil testing, and regulatory documentation. We handle permitting and coordinate with DEQ to ensure full compliance with environmental standards.

They started the job a week and a half ahead of the original schedule. Left the job clean and tidy when done. Stayed on budget, no unexpected charges. I would recommend them to my friends and family and would hire them again if needed.
