Noise level measurements, acoustic measurements in Moscow

In modern realities, our clients are increasingly faced with the fact that their new home is completely unsuitable for living. The reason for this is the problem of releasing harmful substances. The faster the construction of a house occurs, the more they save on its materials, and low-quality materials entail harm to humans during the operation of the premises. Such a violation of construction technology entails consequences that may not be immediately visible. Therefore, an examination of an apartment in a new building will protect you from subsequent unpleasant surprises in your apartment.

Not only those who are buying or have already purchased housing, but also real estate agencies and real estate companies who want to guarantee buyers the quality of housing turn to us for an environmental assessment.

A timely examination will save your money and protect your health from harmful substances and radiation that may be released during the operation of the building.

Previously, we based our activities only on research such as measuring radiation, electromagnetic fields and mercury vapor. But now, having gained many years of experience in the environmental field, we provide a wide range of services that allow us to assess the environmental quality of a building.

We know how to conduct an environmental assessment of an apartment so as not to miss a single detail, which in the future may have a negative and detrimental effect on the health of the residents. Our fourteen years of research experience ensures that you receive top-notch quality services. All documents we provide about the results of the examination are official.

What is an environmental assessment?

Environmental assessment is a complex study that includes both analyzes in the laboratory and work with special instruments right on site. It establishes compliance with the requirements and standards established by law. There are several types of such examination, each of which performs its own specific functions.

Our laboratory carries out the following types:

national expertise;
social research;
parochial research;
scientific expertise;
private research.

Each type of environmental assessment of a home has a number of its own characteristics, which we will now consider.

National examination is a mandatory examination for each object. It is carried out together with an advisory board. The formation of this council is the responsibility of the national executive body, in this case it is Rosprirodnadzor. There is a procedure established by law for this examination.
Social expertise has a number of differences from national expertise. The most important thing is that everyone interested in high-quality examination of projects is involved in it. It can be initiated by both residents and social organizations and local governments. Such an examination cannot be carried out in relation to those objects that keep state or commercial secrets. The EcoTestExpress laboratory provides this type of service.
Local or departmental environmental assessment takes a narrow technical focus as a basis. This examination aims to determine whether the object is safe for humans and the environment through a more extensive study. It should be noted that during a departmental examination, the conclusion of a national examination is considered.
Scientific or scientific examination aims to prove scientific facts or verify them. This examination is not regulated by law and the research is carried out according to the stated indicators. We are also ready to carry out this type of research.
Private examination also does not have legislative regulation and its implementation is regulated only by the rules of the laboratory and the requirements of the customer. It is carried out in order to find out how safe and environmentally friendly the project is. Among all types of environmental assessments of a residential building, it is the most popular and our laboratory will also conduct this type of research.

Stages of examination

The work of the specialists of the “Expertise and Consulting” company is structured as follows:

We receive an application for a technical examination of an apartment renovation, preferably detailed, indicating the claims. Based on the complaints, a request is drawn up with a commission visiting the specified address. The manager will help in drawing up the application, clarify the cost and possible amount of the claim.
A commission with special equipment goes to the site and carries out measurements and the necessary studies of the quality of repairs.
Based on the results of measurements, documentation is drawn up that can be used in court or other authorities.
It is possible for an expert to be present at court hearings, as well as complete documentation packages and claims.
Payment is made after submitting the application, before leaving for the site.

According to a court decision, the costs of a forensic examination of the quality of repairs can be attributed to the expenses of the injured party. In this case, the costs must be recovered from the defendant, in addition to the total amount of the claim.

How is an environmental assessment of an apartment carried out?

Our examination of an apartment in a new building includes a whole range of studies aimed at identifying various types of pollution and harmful factors, such as hazardous radiation, noise and disturbances in the microclimate of the room.

First, air and water samples are taken for further analysis. This helps to identify substances that are harmful and dangerous to the body. At the same time, various types of research are carried out that can identify many hazardous substances contained in water and the atmosphere.

Special instruments are used to measure background radiation, measure electromagnetic fields, noise and study the microclimate. The obtained indicators are compared with acceptable standards.

All these procedures and tests depend on the type of examination of the condition of the apartment and can be selected individually.

In our laboratory, all the necessary studies are carried out that are needed to obtain results on the stated points of the study. Upon completion, an official state-issued document is issued, in which all the results of the analysis are written. The obtained values are also compared with government standards.

This way you get a high-quality apartment inspection, which includes a wide range of analyzes and studies. All research results will be issued within ten working days, and our specialists and experts will provide you with a consultation.

Why is an environmental assessment of an apartment needed?

Checking your apartment for harmful substances will guarantee that your home is safe to live in. After all, a long stay in a room that does not meet the standards can negatively affect human health.

You may have absolutely no idea that the materials from which the house is made emit substances hazardous to humans. But it should be noted that not only construction materials, but also various finishing materials can pose a danger. Formaldehyde and phenol, which can be released from low-quality materials, can provoke such serious consequences as ontological diseases. At the same time, the harmful effect is not only on the human body, but also on the environment. An examination of a new building in Moscow will make it possible to immediately identify these substances harmful to humans, before they begin to have a detrimental effect.

Water may not be dangerous at first glance, but in fact it contains very harmful and toxic substances. They accumulate in the body and lead to disruption and destruction of internal organs.

Various bacteria and microorganisms that can live in the house also cause harm to humans, causing various allergic reactions and decreased immunity. This is especially dangerous for children because they are more susceptible to various allergens, which will later lead to lifelong health problems.

Increased background radiation, microclimate disturbance and noise are imperceptible to the person himself, but have a very strong and destructive effect on his condition. A person may not even realize that his health is being destroyed under the influence of these factors. The symptoms include not only deteriorating health, but also various mental problems.

Of course, in order for housing to be considered environmentally friendly, it must be built from environmentally friendly materials in compliance with all norms and regulations. Such housing is often very difficult to find, but this does not mean that nothing can be done. You can always find sources of harmful substances and eliminate their influence. Do not forget that even furniture can contain harmful microorganisms and substances.

Timely environmental inspection of your apartment will allow you to reduce and eliminate risks to your health.

In what cases is an environmental assessment of an apartment needed?

It is recommended for anyone planning to buy a new home to inspect the apartment for suitability for living. Moreover, the check can be carried out both in a new building and in an old apartment. Substances harmful to humans are released not only from low-quality materials used in construction. Also, during the operation of a residential premises, various harmful substances, bacteria, fungus, mold and other factors can be observed there, which make staying in the house dangerous to human health. Even finishing materials and furniture can make them stand out.

When buying a home, you should also pay attention to where it is located. Air pollution, noise and harmful radiation are often encountered near industries and factories. Then checking the apartment for the presence of harmful substances will help you draw conclusions about whether such housing is worth your health.

For the real estate agencies themselves, such an independent examination of an apartment in a new building can become proof of safety and environmental friendliness, which can be presented to the buyer.

Who can conduct an examination of the maximum noise level

Our company carries out both a full range of noise examination work and individual measurements at the client’s request. In Moscow in 2020, noise level measurements can be carried out by three types of organizations:

companies authorized by the Rospotrebnadzor service, including non-governmental organizations accredited to conduct an independent examination (our company is one of these);
on behalf of the court - forensic institutions in arbitration cases;
design organizations that are members of the SRO and have permission to conduct environmental impact assessments.

Each field requires certain procedures to be followed, so professional divisions are strictly observed. At the same time, the list of equipment used is the same in many situations.

How to improve the environmental safety of your home?

But just inspecting an apartment for harmful substances is not enough to protect yourself. Many negative factors appear already during operation and often the residents themselves are to blame for the occurrence of negative consequences.

We have prepared some tips for you to help you make your home more environmentally friendly and safe. Along with inspecting your apartment for harmful substances, following these tips will make your stay in the house as comfortable as possible.

Firstly, you shouldn’t skimp on repairs. It is better to spend money on high-quality and reliable things than to later suffer from the negative consequences of cheap construction and finishing materials. You can always find high-quality and budget materials made in accordance with all environmental standards. You can find them by special markings. During renovations, special attention should also be paid to sound insulation in the house, because you may not even suspect how harmful noise is to your body.
When purchasing equipment, you should think not only about price and capabilities, but also about safety for yourself and the environment. Household appliances can emit waves harmful to humans, and here it is better not to chase a set of endless functions, but to think about how much you need it.
Regular wet cleaning will protect you from mold and the proliferation of harmful microbes. In this way, you also remove dust from the street, which often serves as an additional source of harmful substances and pollution.
Air humidifiers and ionizers will help you restore the visiting microclimate that was disturbed by heating devices. Violation of the microclimate also leads to a deterioration in human well-being and health.
Of course, pay special attention to the environmental assessment of housing, which will help you make your home safe. Our EcoTestExpress laboratory carries out inspections of apartments in Moscow according to all standards. After a comprehensive study, a conclusion is issued, which details all stages of the study. The reasonable cost of an environmental assessment of an apartment makes it affordable both for the company and for the residents themselves.

As a result, we can say that an environmentally friendly house is not only the work of the builders, but also yours. If you do this research and follow the tips and recommendations, you will be able to protect yourself and your loved ones from factors dangerous to human health.
