Many company claim to be green. At this point in time, there are none which include YOU in their statement. What makes them green?EHS has converted its utility vehicles to run on clean burning E85 Ethanol, doing its part to reduce emissions and reliance on foreign oil. Even more important in some opinions, is the recycling of the demolished gypsum(drywall). EHS does not send its gypsum to a green landfill, where it is still put in the earth, along with other waste. It is sent to plants that recycle, using it for numerous, important purposes such as a soil amendment, plant nutrient, cement production, animal bedding, compost amendment, manufacturing fertilizer, and or coarse new drywall. These plants use these end products all over the world.FEW COMPANIES CAN CLAIM THIS, but non are green where it matters most; IN YOUR HOME.EHS is a TRUE green company.

'"Angels" provide heavenly fix-up for Lowell homeLOWELL -- Sharon Buckley will wake up this Easter morning in the house on Christian Hill from which she and two of her sons fled toxic mold and a crumbling foundation nearly two yShe will have slept on comforters piled on the freshly sanded living-room floor, the smell of fresh paint sweetening her dreams. She will step onto the new stone walkway in a newly landscaped front yard to greet the promising new day.At St. Michael's Church, she will give thanks that the Holy Spirit is alive in so many who have turned her nightmare into a blessing.Richard Latour of Tyngsboro and Josh Aslanian of Lowell read about all that went wrong at 49 July St. soon after Buckley moved in on July 31, 2006, when The Sun published an article last September. They became determined to fix Buckley's heartache, at no cost.Buckley calls the men her "angels with hammers."As you would expect, men of such compassion have lots of friends. Latour and Aslanian, owners of Environmental Hygiene Solutions, Inc., in Lowell, rallied many of their contractor friends to the cause. They relentlessly tugged at Home Depot's heartstrings."They stayed on me four or five times before I finally said 'OK,' " says David Corsetto, manager of the Home Depot in Tewksbury, smiling.On Friday -- Good Friday, all noted -- 20 Home Depot employees from stores in Tewksbury, Methuen, Seabrook, N.H., and Somersworth, N.H. descended on July Street as Team Depot volunteers. Home Depot donated $15,000 in materials."When I read the story (about Buckley), I couldn't believe it," says Corsetto, 34, a father of two, who lives in Methuen. "I didn't know things like that still could happen."Buckley, 42, a divorced mother of three, in 2006 sold a two-family house on Beaulieu Street in Lowell to buy a six-room house with purple shutters next to Gage Field. Three weeks after moving in, a heavy rain uncovered large holes in the roof and black mold flourishing upstairs behind clumpy paint."Mushrooms were growing off the furniture when we got here," Aslanian recalls. "It was a horror show."Nine months after Buckley moved in, a section of the fieldstone foundation on the left side of the house collapsed.These defects had not been detected by home inspector John Bovill of Chelmsford. Three months ago, the state's Office of Consumer Affairs & Business Regulation placed Bovill on probation. Buckley is not allowed to disclose terms of a settlement she says she reached with Bovill. She dropped legal proceedings against the previous owners, Robert and Kimberly Gouveia. Buckley says she believes they covered up serious problems and failed to list them on the seller's disclosure form."I have made peace. I forgive everybody. I've asked God to forgive everybody," says Buckley, a nurse at Lowell Treatment Center.Latour and Aslanian are perfectionists. Once they fixed the roof and eradicated the mold, their curiosity turned to layers of linoleum and plywood. Their exploratory peels uncovered hardwood floors. "We can't stop now," declares Latour, 36, a father of two who grew up on Christian Hill.Totaling up donated materials and man-hours, Latour estimates $200,000 has gone into the house, which will have new appliances, cabinets, countertops and bathroom fixtures. Buckley paid $282,000 for the house in 2006, taking out a $210,000 mortgage."It's an Extreme Makeover," she says. "But better than the TV show."Buckley was determined to wake up in her new house on Easter morning. The house is still a week or so from being ready for Buckley, her sons, Jimmy Santos, 16, and Nicholas Santos, 14, to move in. "The people working on our house are the greatest people in the world," Nicholas says.The foundation remains a problem. When Aslanian on Friday received news that fixing it may require a backhoe, jacking up the house and pouring a new section of foundation, he unflinchingly replied, "We'll get to it. Not a problem."Overhearing the conversation, Buckley said, "I'm going to church."A medal blessed by Pope John Paul II has hung snugly around Buckley's neck since Aslanian, a 37-year-old father of four, gave it to her last September. A friend and fellow Massachusetts Maritime student had given it to Aslanian 15 years earlier in Rome. That friend, Derek Gagnon, 36, of Pelham, also volunteered at 49 July St. on Friday.Buckley had stopped making her $2,000-a-month mortgage payments in September 2007. She needed to pay rent for an apartment in Lowell after fleeing 49 July St. In December, she made a $7,000 payment to Saxon Mortgage. The remainder of arrears was placed on the back end of her loan. She plans to refinance the adjustable-rate loan once work is completed. Buckley and her boys have lived with Buckley's mother, Patricia, in Dracut since February."Everything is going to work out," Buckley says. "Everything is going to be perfect."

EHS is more than just a mold remediation company, we are better defined as an Indoor Air Quality Restoration Company. All companies have a similar structure to a remediation; HEPA filters, Dehumidifiers, etc. All share the same goal: to eliminate mold levels and equalize them to the outside air. This seems to be the consensus of what remediation is. Most of the times, clients are oblivious to what remains after the mold is eradicated. The truth is, by attacking only mold, many dangerous particulates are left behind and in some instances new particulates are introduced. The realization is there are a dangerous amount of particulates throughout a contaminated home that can cause serious effects. Which left behind after a remediation, can cause illness, allergies, or worse. A true remediation should provide a green environment, close to what you would find in a hospital. EHS provides this service at no extra cost to the property owner. Establishing and maintaining a green environment is the goal of every EHS remediation,

Contractors and Developers
Hotels and High Rise Buildings
Fitness Centers
Lately, EHS has done some remediation work in high rise condominiums. All started by one or two calls about individual units. The issue is that in most of the buildings, especially on the water, the problem is the building itself, not the individual units. Common areas like hallways, lobbies, conference and reception rooms all have high levels, which go unchecked in most places. EHS can operate throughout the building. EHS can also take preventative measures to maintain a clean environment.Another condominium issue that is becoming more common is one unit spreading mold and allergens like a cancer. Due to a number of different circumstances, one unit develops an issue. This issue is either not covered by their insurance, or they have no desire to rectify the issue at all. Slowly, adjacent units become infected until a wing or even the entire building is contaminated.In many occasions, a unit can flood due to numerous circumstances. EHSs Flood Team can isolate and extract the water, and prevent a mold outbreak with its non-toxic products.An effective way to assure proper air quality and fast treatment in a disaster is to have a company designed specifically towards your needs(see EMERGENCY CONTRACT page).

Hotels are susceptible to high levels of indoor air contaminants. Each new rental represents the introduction of new airborne particulates. This plus years of small leaks, HVAC condensation, weather catastrophes, and your average mishaps, can lead to a major pollution of the indoor air quality, including bacteria, dust mites, mold, and influenza strains (H1/N1), and many, many more. EHS has been doing research on hotel pollution. New England seems to have a high number of effected properties, many right in our own area. EHS s system is built for situations just like this. While eliminating mold, it will destroy all other harmful contaminants, leaving the rooms free of allergies. An effective way to assure proper air quality and fast treatment in a disaster is to have a company geared specifically towards your needs(see EMERGENCY CONTRACT page).
Fitness Centers are one of our best clients. Our indoor air quality restoration technology and our water damage and flood response has received acclaim. The issue at hand now is the time between devastating problems. When asked a test group listed the gym as one of the top places they feel nervous about the spread of germs, viruses, bacteria, etc. Although it is a fact that most fitness centers clean each day and provide hand sanitizer, it just is not enough. Putting mold and dust aside, the smaller, more dangerous airborne and surface microbial are present daily. EHS has a technology that can eliminate, prevent, and sanitize. EHS respects the privacy of any client. Hours can be scheduled for discretion. A weekly or monthly treatment is recommended and the cost is surprisingly low. All HVAC treatments will be involved in the treatment
