Charles Taylor Environmental

Charles Taylor Environmental is a Brea-based environmental consulting and testing firm serving commercial, industrial, and residential properties nationwide. Its services include water damage assessment, mold and microbial investigations, fire and smoke impact assessment, odor investigation, asbestos and lead testing, indoor air quality evaluation, and loss incident response. The team includes Certified Industrial Hygienists and provides 24/7 emergency response for environmental incidents.

For water-related losses, Charles Taylor Environmental performs IICRC-certified mold inspection and water damage assessment, including water-loss classification, moisture mapping, contamination investigation, drying protocols, and post-remediation clearance testing. The firm works with restoration contractors, property owners, insurance carriers, and adjusters during losses involving water, fire, smoke, mold, and hazardous materials. Documentation includes field data, scope recommendations, laboratory-supported reporting, and third-party verification.

Fire and wildfire assessment services address combustion byproducts such as char, ash, and soot. Charles Taylor Environmental uses impact mapping, microscopic analysis, remediation protocols, and post-restoration verification to evaluate affected structures, contents, HVAC systems, and porous materials. Odor investigations focus on locating hidden soot reservoirs and other sources of nuisance or chemical odors. Indoor air quality work also covers chemical off-gassing, particulate matter, ventilation deficiencies, and specific chemical hazards.

Commercial and industrial clients can use the firm for portfolio environmental screening, tenant indoor-air-quality investigations, renovation compliance, worker-exposure monitoring, ventilation assessment, and compliance documentation. Lead inspections use X-Ray Fluorescence analyzers for non-destructive testing, while environmental reports support renovation, abatement, demolition, insurance claims, compliance, litigation, and re-occupancy decisions.
