Combustion By-Product Analysis: Faster Environmental Testing with Hillmann’s In-House Lab

Hillmann’s in-house Environmental Laboratory provides comprehensive testing services to support environmental investigations, indoor air quality testing, and post-loss building assessments. As an accredited laboratory, we deliver fast, reliable, and accurate results to help clients make informed decisions about remediation, recovery, and long-term property health.

Our in-house advantage means faster turnaround times than consultants who outsource to third-party labs. By managing testing under one roof, we streamline the process, reduce delays, and ensure every sample is handled with precision and care.

New Service: Combustion By-Product Sample Analysis

We are excited to announce the addition of Combustion By-Product Sample Analysis to our list of analytical testing services.

This specialized testing identifies char, ash, and black carbon/soot in building materials. These combustion by-products are key indicators of damage after fire or smoke events and play a critical role in post-loss environmental testing.

With this new capability, Hillmann strengthens our ability to provide rapid and accurate data following loss events, giving clients the insights needed to protect building occupants and guide effective remediation strategies.
