The Star of the Show:

Think Green’s John McCalmont is in Austin Texas to meet with Rob Barber, CEO of Environmental Data Resources, to learn about the types of problems that may exist with a property that could prove detrimental to your family’s health, as well as the environment surrounding the area. The history of a property may not always be healthy: illegal drug factories; vapor intrusion (radon), contamination from nearby industrial sites, including accidental toxic spills or leaks; developers may have built subdivisions on what was once farmland that is contaminated with toxic pesticides.

Protecting Homeowners from Hidden Hazards

When shopping for a new home, soon to be homeowners look at a potential homes safety and check the surrounding neighborhood for potential problems down the road. But often overlooked are environmental issues that affect health and home values. Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR), the nation’s premier provider of environmental risk information offers information on what to look for— and what types of environmental problems may occur after purchasing a home.


Some of the environmental issues typically encountered?


• Leaking underground fuel or gas tanks
• Homes formerly used as illegal drug factories
• Contamination from nearby industrial sites, including accidental toxic spills or leaks
• Developers may have built subdivisions on what was once farmland that is contaminated with toxic pesticides


EDR provides environmental risk assessments to corporate, legal, lending, insurance, and residential relocation industries. Their founders, active in the environmental industry for decades, had a vision to cull, update and organize government records into a comprehensive report called, the ‘Environmental Issues Report' that enables environmental professionals to do their jobs better.
