Excellent company to work with. Everyone is super professional. We had some asbestos tiles in our basement. They showed up on time. Followed all the standards of setting up barriers with thick plastic, creating a negative air pressure. No dust was getting out. When they were done, they left our basement spotless.…

I needed a lead inspection for my daycare and I was very impressed with this company. They were very professional from the initial phone call to the very end of the inspection. They had a lot of knowledge in what they were doing and they were very accomadating since the inspection was done during business hours. It was my first time dealing with this type of inspection and they were able to help me navigate through it smoothly and efficiently. Thank you Air Land & Water Engineering!

Excellent company to work with. Everyone is super professional. We had some asbestos tiles in our basement. They showed up on time. Followed all the standards of setting up barriers with thick plastic, creating a negative air pressure. No dust was getting out. When they were done, they left our basement spotless. They even test the air at the end so you know it’s safe. The crew was very professional and easy to work with. The owner is very responsive and helpful. Great company. I’m keeping their number. They do other types of clean up too. I highly recommend them.

We had a really good experience with this company. Larry was very thorough with his inspection, and took the time to explain what needed to be done and why. The team that worked in the our home was friendly and efficient, and cleaned everything up before they left. We would definitely use Air Land and Water Engineering again!

Air Land and Water did the testing and abatement for our home and they were excellent! Scheduling with Larry was super easy, test results were fast, and the abatement crew, Derrick and Marcus, were very polite and efficient. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you ALW!

I was able to call Air Land & Water Engineering in the morning and they were able to inspect the job site later that afternoon. Results of the air test were sent to me within the 24 hours. Larry was able to answer all of my questions and made the process very easy. Their knowledge and professionalism are top notch!

This company did asbestos remediation in our basement. They did an outstanding job for a reasonable price. Dealing with Larry Brand was a pleasure. He was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I would say the same of the two technicians who came to our home to do the work. They spent a very long day doing a difficult task and did a great job. I highly recommend the company.
