PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Jan. 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Environmental Sampling, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EVSP), in response to exploding national demand for quality mold and moisture inspections and testing, today announced the release of their new Certified Environmental Home Inspector Program (CEHI). With this Certification, the traditional Home Inspector can elevate and expand the scope of their business to accommodate the changing needs of the home inspection industry, and obtain the title of Certified Environmental Home Inspector (CEHI).
Environmental Service Professionals President/CEO Ed Torres stated, "CEHI provides for the logical progression for home inspectors to enter the Moisture and Mold Inspection. Home inspectors though highly trained, have traditionally had to limit their service offering due to certain industry constraints such as access to quality professional (E&O) and liability insurance and hygienist support and oversight."
"The Company's new comprehensive training program and operational procedures coupled with the latest technology, software and inspection protocol for moisture and mold inspections, creates the opportunity for experienced home inspectors to obtain an AM Best Rated A policy that includes mold coverage," stated Bill Lohman, president of Legends Environmental Insurance Services.
