Advanced Environmental Testing and Abatement, Inc., was formed to provide industrial, institutional, residential, and commercial clients an immediate and reliable response to asbestos, mold, lead and other environmental concerns. Advanced Environmental complies with all OSHA, EPA and other federal and state regulations to assure the highest level of worker and environmental protection on all projects.
Advanced Environmental Testing and Abatement, Inc. began in 1989 in Cedar Falls, IA as Advanced Technologies: focusing on the testing and removal of asbestos and lead. In 2003 Advanced Restoration Services was added, expanding our services to mold testing and remediation and indoor air quality (IAQ) testing.
In 2004 the company expanded once again with the purchase of Wellington Environmental Solutions of Davenport, IA spreading into Illinois. On January 1, 2007 Advanced Technologies, Advanced Restoration Services and Wellington Environmental Solutions merged and began operating under the name of Advanced Environmental Testing and Abatement, Inc. This final merger has provided Advanced Environmental the ability to perform licensed work within the states of Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin.
