Tetrachloroethylene, also known as perchloroethylene, or PERC, is a chlorinated solvent historically used in the dry cleaning industry 🚨
If you’re wondering WHY when a dry cleaning business is found during an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) it poses a big concern, watch this video!
PERC is a DNAPL (dense non-aqueous phase liquid), so that means it doesn’t float along the water table but instead, it goes right through it and sinks down to a confining layer or hits bedrock (and then poses danger to the bedrock) ⛔️
We recently completed an ESA review where a very reputable and known company appeared to have missed a lot of the signs of a dry cleaning facility and instead the unit was identified as a laundromat only 🤯
We found containment systems like the ones shown in this video, an underground holding tank (often used for waste and regularly emptied), raised edges around the work area, specific insulated piping, and even the historic listing of the unit as a dry cleaner. While newer dry cleaning facilities exist (with green alternatives), it’s important to not ignore the signs of potential PERC use and do the research!! ⚠️

Stachybotrys is often labelled “the black mould,” but many mould species can be black. In this case, however, this was confirmed to be abundant Stachybotrys mould growth! ⚠️ ‼️ Yet, the air samples we obtained during our visit did not identify this mould type as airborne. Why??

What actually makes Stachybotrys significant:

• Elevated water activity: it only develops when materials stay wet long enough for cellulose to break down
• A slow‑build timeline: growth reflects days to weeks of sustained saturation, not a brief leak
• Sticky, heavy conidia: spores cling to surfaces (they grow in sticky masses) and rarely dominate air samples, making airborne detection unreliable
• Toxicity is conditional: mycotoxin production depends on substrate chemistry, competition, and persistent moisture, not the mould’s colour; however, Stachybotrys is considered one of the most toxigenic moulds (yet everyone reacts to moulds differently)

Stachybotrys isn’t a panic button, it’s a forensic marker of chronic water damage ⏰ If it’s present, the building has been wet long enough to tell a deeper story!

It’s important to note that one of the main ways this mould type could become airborne is through disturbance. Cutting through the drywall or agitating the air in the area may allow for the spores to become airborne. When you see this type of growth, check for any evidence of disturbance and if so, also test surfaces for its presence, as it could have become airborne then settled on surfaces, as it is a heavier type of mould spore! 💡

This is also a reminder to sample unaffected areas of a home first, then focus on areas like these, to avoid potential cross contamination and biased high air quality results!! ✅

We say “work‑life balance” as if work is the pillar and life is the ornament placed on top.

But life is the foundation, the breath, the ground, the vibration that makes everything else possible.
Work is only one expression of who we are, not the container that holds us.

At some point in the past we accepted a framing that puts productivity before presence; yet anyone who has sat with real stillness knows that health must be taken care of, relationships must be nourished, identity must be given room to unfold,
and sustainability must be honoured if we hope to walk far.

A life‑first mindset isn’t rebellion, it’s taking back time and space for our bodies, our families, our purpose, OUR time.

It’s known that when people feel whole, their work becomes clearer, steadier, and more meaningful. Leaders who embrace this don’t just create better workplaces, they create environments where people can breathe, grow, and offer their best without losing themselves in the process.

Work should fit into life, not the other way around.
Life is the only thing we cannot replace!
Everything else is arrangement.
Life and love should always come first.

🚀 Environmental fieldwork 🚀
Remember when surveying groundwater monitoring wells meant wrestling with a theodolite, squinting through optics, and shouting measurements across the site like you were calling in an airstrike? 🎯📢😆

Yeah… we don’t do that anymore.

✨ Laser levels changed the game!!
Drop it on a tripod, hit the switch, and boom—perfect reference plane. One person, rapid measurements, rock‑solid accuracy ✨ No more juggling rods, no more “hold it steady!”, no more two‑person choreography. Just clean, efficient, modern surveying that keeps your field program tight and your data even tighter. 💥📈

From TOC elevations to surrounding grade checks, laser levels make environmental assessments faster, safer, and way less chaotic. It’s like upgrading from dial‑up to fibre internet… but for groundwater work! 💧🔦
