How confident are you in the safety of your community’s water? Concerns about contamination can keep anyone up at night. Ensuring clean and safe water is crucial, and that’s where effective water management comes in.
You’ve started a home renovation project. Everything’s going smoothly until you stumble upon something suspicious… Could it be asbestos? Many people think asbestos only lurks in commercial buildings or old factories. But asbestos exposure in homes is more common than you’d expect.
Did you know asbestos exposure can lead to serious health issues like lung cancer? A startling fact is that over 39,000 people in the U.S. die each year from asbestos-related diseases. Many think asbestos is just a problem for old homes, but commercial buildings face this risk, too!
Winter often brings cozy nights and holiday cheer but can also bring problems like mold growth. However, identifying mold sources and knowing how to prevent them is important for maintaining a healthy home environment.
For this project, Wellington Environmental performed deep cleaning services for a plant before its scheduled FDA inspection. Using a combination of microfiber pads, Pure Magic® degreaser/cleaner, and pressure washing, the building looks years newer!

Our team is working on two interesting cases concerning possible Legionella that serve as a reminder to building owners and managers of the importance of having up-to-date Water Management Plans for their facilities.
Leaky building insulation allows the summer sun warmed exterior walls to push heat through the building cavity and into the finished interior wherever there is an air gap. This can be found around windowsills, cables, and electrical outlets. Once the warm air escapes into the finished area and hits the air-conditioned environment, condensation occurs. The damp surface creates a perfect environment for MOLD to colonize.
