Our services
HK Environmental Consultants LLC (“HK”, “we”, “us”) tests residential and commercial properties for mold, asbestos, lead, bacteria and allergens.
The scope, schedule and price of each job are set out in a written proposal or agreement before work begins. If that agreement and these terms ever disagree, the agreement controls.
Testing and reports
We sample using industry-standard methods and professional equipment. Samples are analyzed by accredited independent laboratories, not by us. Reports include the data we recorded on site, the laboratory results and our recommendations.
Results describe conditions in the areas sampled, at the time they were sampled. Indoor conditions change with weather, moisture, occupancy and building work, so a result cannot predict future conditions. Laboratory turnaround times we give you are estimates from the laboratory.
Your report, your decision
Our job is to tell you what is there. Hiring us to test never obliges you to hire anyone for repairs. Our reports are written so any qualified contractor can work from them, and every decision about what to do next is yours.
Access and sampling
By booking a service you confirm that you own the property or have the owner’s permission for us to enter it and take samples. Please tell us about anything that affects the work or our safety, such as known hazards, recent water damage, pets, or areas we cannot reach.
Asbestos and lead sampling can require removing small pieces of building material. We explain this before sampling and keep it to the minimum the test needs. If you need to reschedule, please give us as much notice as you can.
Service area
We are based in Upstate South Carolina and serve 49 counties across South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. The full list is on the service area map on our home page. Regulated services such as asbestos inspections are offered only where we hold the required state license or accreditation. Availability and scheduling vary by location.
Limitation of liability
Our responsibility is limited to the services described in your written agreement. We are not responsible for
- conditions that develop or change after our testing or work
- areas, materials or hazards outside the agreed scope
- conditions that were concealed or could not be reached, such as inside closed walls, unless the agreement includes invasive sampling
- decisions or actions taken by you or by third parties based on our reports
- damage caused by others
To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim about a service is limited to the amount you paid for that service, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that South Carolina law does not allow to be limited.
