Homeownership for most is a significant achievement that can be very rewarding
in many respects. However, it's no secret that owning a home or buying/selling a
home with apparent or suspect issues can also become very stressful and
emotional at times, for all involved parties. When there is a suspected or
developing issue, the initial response is often panic about the perceived degree
of an issue, and then further panic about perceived solutions that initially
seem insurmountable. This "panic" is often a direct result of limited and
sometimes incorrect information. That's because the affected parties didn’t know
where to get their questions and concerns properly addressed.
XTRAS Evaluation and Testing Services, LLC focuses on being the calming force
before a situation becomes turbulent. We accomplish this by being able to
provide a variety of evaluation and testing services, technical expertise, and
educational resources directed towards helping put things into perspective. In
doing so our clients can now make decisions based more on solid detailed
information, and less on emotion. XTRAS has found this approach has much greater
and expedited success resolving the less desirable issues related to
homeownership.
Furthermore, some issues are relatively obvious even to the untrained eye, such
as discoloration and/or odors in drinking water, or severe mold growth on
wall/ceiling surfaces. In these type situations XTRAS can have the specific
underlying issues identified and give direction on possible resolutions.
Many other potential issues are not so obvious such as exposure to elevated
radon gas levels, which is a naturally occurring, invisible, odorless,
tasteless, radioactive gas; or the presence of airborne toxic mold spores from a
hidden source, which are invisible to the naked eye. XTRAS provides professional
testing services to identify many invisible intruders.
