Lead Abatement and Mold Remediation in University City, MO

Licensed environmental services for University City's older homes and rental properties. Free on-site consultation available.

Lead Abatement

University City's pre-1978 housing stock carries a documented elevated risk of lead-based paint on window trim, doors, and exterior porch surfaces, particularly in the community's large rental inventory.

Mold Remediation and Treatment

Older multi-family buildings and rental units in U. City frequently show moisture intrusion and mold growth behind walls and beneath flooring, often discovered during renovation or tenant turnover.

Asbestos Inspection and Testing

Pre-renovation and pre-sale inspections are required in many older U. City properties where asbestos-containing materials remain in place in floors, ceilings, and pipe insulation.

Asbestos Abatement

If asbestos is confirmed in a University City property, licensed abatement is required before any demolition or renovation work proceeds. A contractor holding Missouri credentials must perform the work.

University City's Older Housing Stock and Environmental Risk

University City is a walkable, densely developed inner-ring suburb directly bordering Washington University. The community has one of the highest concentrations of pre-1978 residential and rental housing in the St. Louis metro area. Homes and apartment buildings throughout U. City were built across the 1920s, 1940s, and 1960s, a construction window during which lead-based paint and asbestos-containing materials were standard in residential buildings.

The lead paint risk in University City is statistically elevated, particularly in the multi-family rental inventory that makes up a significant share of the community's housing stock. Deteriorating paint on window frames, door trim, and exterior porch surfaces in pre-1978 units represents an actionable hazard, especially in properties where children under six or pregnant residents are present. Missouri regulations require all lead abatement work to be performed by a licensed contractor. We offer licensed lead abatementand mold remediationfor these properties.

Earths Solutions Environmental Services LLC holds active environmental contractor licenses in both Missouri and Illinois and is fully bonded. The business was founded in 2013 by Aree Riley, who brings more than 20 years of hands-on field experience in lead abatement, mold remediation, asbestos abatement, and related environmental services.

We have worked in the type of housing that defines University City. Older single-family homes with original plaster and painted trim, two-flat and four-flat apartment buildings with layered paint histories, and pre-war brick construction where multiple generations of renovation have left materials intact behind finished surfaces. That direct experience shapes how we assess and scope every project in communities like U. City.

After more than 20 years in this work, I can tell you that older rental housing is where lead hazards are most often missed. Landlords who are not aware of the regulatory requirements are at real liability risk. We help property owners understand exactly what they're dealing with and what the law requires before any work begins. — Aree Riley, Owner, Earths Solutions Environmental Services LLC.
