What Sets Us Apart?

1. No conflict-of-interest. One of the largest problems facing property owners and managers today has to do with fraud performed by fire restoration and remediation companies and public adjusters who perform their own fire and smoke assessments. Because Gulf Coast Center for Indoor Air Quality Services and all employees have no interests in other business or service ventures, you can trust the impartial, thorough, unbiased assessment services that you receive to be defensible and ethical.
2. Communication and details. We believe in providing more than just a presence/absence report. We provide details that empower you through a process of remediation to successful conclusion. This cannot be accomplished with a cut-and-paste approach to fire and smoke assessment. Specificity is only provided when your needs are understood and the assessment is geared to address those concerns. Furthermore, our assessors are available to consult you after the assessment report is completed and, with your permission, can consult your fire and smoke remediators to aid in the successful remediation of your home or office.
3. Qualifications and Protocols. Most fire and smoke assessors and industrial hygienists have no real world experience managing or performing fire and smoke remediation; they have no practical knowledge of remediation practices. As a result, they lack the ability to provide clear, comprehensive corrective action plans (i.e., protocols for remediation). This leads to conflicts, complications, limitations, even denial of insurance coverage due to poor performance on the assessor's part. Gulf Coast Center for Indoor Air Quality Services goes through an on-going peer-review process to remain accredited in fire and smoke remediation supervision. It's these qualifications that makes our protocols some of the best in the industry.
4. Hazard and Risk Assessments. Most fire and smoke assessment companies perform hazard assessments to determine whether fire residues (soot, char, and ash) are present in a home or office. While this provides some useful information, sometimes more is necessary. For example, in some cases there are building occupants who are experiencing symptoms within a building that they rarely experience anywhere else, and there's a question whether fire-related environmental stressors are causing those symptoms. In such cases, a hazard assessment is not enough to answer their needs. With a background in occupational safety and health, Gulf Coast IAQ can work with your doctor by providing a risk assessment to aid in understanding the relationship between you and your building.
