Environmental Testing That
Holds the Line
We uncover what others miss, confront what others ignore, and fight for those impacted by contamination and injustice. At M.A.R.S. Environmental, science is our weapon, and truth is our standard.
Who we are
M.A.R.S. Environmental is a forensic-grade environmental consulting firm specializing in contamination caused by fire, lead-based paint, water, structural decay, radon, and hazardous materials.
We don’t just collect samples. We fight for safe homes, honest reporting, and full accountability from insurance carriers and contractors alike.
Our Story
Before we were M.A.R.S. Environmental, we were Certified IAQ Professionals, which was founded in 2018 with one simple goal: to make healthy indoor air accessible and affordable for everyone. Since our beginning, we’ve believed that everyone deserves to come home, breathe deeply, and feel safe in their own space.
In 2025, we expanded that mission by creating M.A.R.S. Environmental, broadening our services beyond air quality to meet the wider needs of homeowners and businesses. What started as a one-person operation has grown into a dedicated team of specialists who share the same commitment to protecting health, safety, and comfort indoors.
We’re proud of the growth, but even more proud of the difference we make for our clients every day. For us, this work is more than a service; it’s a responsibility and a privilege. The knowledge that we’re helping people recover peace of mind after environmental damage, ensuring safer living conditions, and knowing that our work directly impacts the health of families and communities is what drives us forward.
Our Mission
At M.A.R.S. Environmental, our mission is to protect health, demand accountability, and expose environmental threats through scientifically defensible testing and reporting.
We combine regulatory knowledge, advanced sampling protocols, and strategic documentation to support property owners, legal teams, and restoration professionals. No contamination is overlooked. No excuses are accepted. We don’t just test – we fight for what’s right.

Jeanine, the owner, demonstrated exceptional expertise in environmental testing after the fire at my house. She provided thorough explanations of how fire and smoke impact homes and air quality, and clearly outlined the necessary steps for restoration. Her professionalism and knowledge were impressive, and I appreciated her informative approach to getting my home back to a safe and healthy state.
MARS environmental is excellent, has great communication, and is reasonably priced. They were able to replace our radon system that was not up to code before we closed on our house.
Highly recommend!
Highly recommend!
My heart goes out to anyone having to shop for post-disaster environmental testing, but I can enthusiastically recommend Jeanine and her team at M.A.R.S., especially to people dealing wildfire/WUI fire smoke damage.
Our house was in the heart of the Eaton Fire. It was left standing but smoke damaged. For four months, our insurer downplayed the health risks, offering to essentially wet wipe the walls and vacuum our bed after their own test found lead. They didn’t address VOCs, SVOCs, heavy metals, though.
We knew that getting our own testing was the only way to push for a more thorough remediation. M.A.R.S came highly recommended by fire survivors in Colorado, also by local word of mouth, even by other industrial hygeniests and folks at United Policy Holders.
Jeanine fit us into one of the weekend trips she’d been doing to the Eaton Fire Scar this spring. And she tailored our tests to address our needs for our claim, and our financial limits. She asked for our prior test results so she could make sure she was only running tests we needed.
On the day, she showed up early. I was thrilled when she said we didn’t need to enter the house. Also, her team wore protective gear. (For four months, everyone — the insurance adjuster, other IH’s, and others — would enter the house casually, often with no masks or PPE, as if it were no big deal. I felt subtly peer-pressured to go in unmasked myself, to take and wash things, and now regret it.)
The results took a while, but the labs have been swamped, and M.A.R.S. was in touch. And when the results did come in, the level of detail and care with which Jeanine laid out her report was remarkable. And her explanations of results rigorously supported her recomendations. She included and referred to all the prior results. And she is up to date on current and emerging science and standards.
In many ways, the new results were bad news (the highest levels of Dioxins she’d seen in the area as well as Beryllium, which we’re now learning has shown up in unprecedented levels in the Eaton Soot and Ash), but at least we are now armed with data.
I’m trying to think of constructive criticism, but I really just feel gratitude for Jeanine, Rebecca, and the whole team.
We’re still going to have to fight to get the insurance to follow her recommendations so it’s all still an ongoing nightmare. That said, the two moments of greatest relief I’ve felt since the fire were, first, when the M.A.R.S. team showed up at our house, and then later, when Jeannine sent our results. She’s smart and talented, and I believe that she does this work because she genuinely cares about protecting people’s health. She’s a methodical hero :), a literal lifesaver!

Just hired MARS environmental to do a meth test for a home we have under contract. They got me setup with an appointment fast. The tester arrived on time, was friendly and explained everything. I recommend!
I loved how responsive MARS was! I filled out the “contact us” form on their website and heard back via email within 24 hours. We scheduled a same-week appointment. I was emailed an estimate and invoice. They requested a deposit of $100 on a $400 invoice which seemed completely reasonable to me.
I received appointment reminders via text and email. The tester/employee showed up on time and I received a results phone call within 24 hours. I know I’ll receive the emailed results within another work day, but they were able to call and give me the peace of mind sooner rather than later.
If you’re looking for a quick and professional company, I’d highly recommend MARS Environmental.

Jeanine and Mars Environmental are Exceptional! They not only helped me with the scientific analysis to impress upon my insurance company to do what was right, and fair but they also held my hand throughout the process. Jeanine and her team went above and beyond to help us. We are very grateful.!
Jeanine and her team are amazing. They are very thorough and will educate you on what they are testing for, why they are testing and the steps that need to be taken after. I highly recommend MARS for all your testing needs. Very friendly, professional and trained.
They were very communicative upfront, and continue to be very responsive. They worked with our budget, doing necessary tests. They wrote an extensive report and included remediation recommendations based on the data, which is really hard to find these days. Super grateful for this team!
What a great company! My husband and I are currently under contract with a home. We had a last minute mold inspection and they were able to schedule us in the next day. Very little notice! Linzy did an amazing and thorough job! She knows what she is doing and very pleasant to work with. We are very grateful they were able to squeeze us in their busy schedule. 100% recommend!
Jeanine was amazing to work with and offered a quick response every time we had a question. Fair pricing, quick turn around on the job and we had the best Radon Guy, Geovanni, come out to put in our new system. Thank you Jeanine for helping us keep our family safe and healthy!!!
Jeanine has been the lighthouse guiding us through the tumultuous storm following the damage to our home from the Eaton Fire. Her deep knowledge and experience in fire science has helped us decide on a course of action in dealing with the damage, and provided us with a view to a way forward.
I recently paid for a meth test for a house I’m about to purchase. Jeanine was early to the appointment, professional, and worked quickly but thoroughly. I highly recommend this company for any environmental testing you need done.
Jeanine is a very hardworking individual who strives for excellence ALL the time! I really appreciate that she took the time to correct our report, even though she was busy traveling to another state for work. Her work is very thorough. I will defiantly use her again because she is the best!!!
These folks care and do great work. They take responsiblity for the work they do and are not satisfied until you are satisfied.
These guys are great, they explained the process, brought in a team of people to test all my projects surfaces that were required and were able to get results back within 24 hours. Customer service is on point!
Amazing service. Excellent education. I have full confidence that my concerns will be completely addressed. Highly recommend if you’re worried about your air quality!
Great service! The work was done efficiently and the tech explained everything. Highly recommend.
Such a fantastic company. They did radon mitigation for a property and knocked it out of the park. It was not an easy space to mitigate in, but they figured out the perfect solution. Timely and price was good as well.
Fantastic group of people. They are fast and friendly. We are an asbestos removal company and love referring them out to clients. Keep up the great work!
Certified IAQ’s process for environmental testing was an easy and straight forward process. We will use them again in the future. Thank you again Linzy and Jeanine!
