The Environmental TASC Force (ETF) was developed to help you, as a homeowner, assess your environment in a very affordable way. This program is supported by solution-based trainings to environmental professionals in the areas of indoor air quality, power usage, and drinking water anticipating that clients are interested in doing some of the work necessary to provide enough information for the environmental professional to develop specific solutions.

The concept of the Environmental TASC Force is built upon the foundation of assessment BEFORE solutions are offered. TASC stands for Trained Assessment and Screening Certification and the ETF Partner has been trained to assist you in the assessment process and certified to provide solutions using a team approach. We want to successfully improve the health of millions of families across America and we know that there are many solutions offered that simply need to be matched to specific problems.

Drinking Water Survey

When you complete the Drinking Water Survey, you will then sample your drinking (tap) water for unseen pollutants. In our experience, everyone who has filled out the drinking water survey has rated the quality of their tap water at less than 10, and many people have been so confused about treatment options they just choose to buy expensive bottled water. Did you know that bottled drinking water is twice to three times as expensive as the gasoline you put in your car?

This program will educate you on many facts you may not have considered and help you understand inexpensive and reasonable solutions you can implement right away. We wish we could tell you that there is a magic wand out there that would make the tap water in your home suitable to drink without any investigation or effort on your part. That is simply not true and you probably already understand that because of the difference in water systems, each home has its own unique problems with drinking water. The fact is there are many factors contributing to poor water quality. If you really want to make the right choices to improve your drinking water, you need to understand the issues and the best treatments for YOUR water issues home. Developing a total solution to your indoor water quality problems is called a wholistic approach and we can tailor the right solutions to your specific needs and implement those solutions immediately.
