PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Feb. 21, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. (OTCBB:EVSP) today announced that the National Association for Moisture Management (NAMM) has endorsed the Company's Certified Environmental Home Inspector (CEHI) program, the Annual Mold and Moisture Management (MMM) program for homeowners, and the National Builder Moisture Management program.
Rick LaPierre, President of NAMM, noted: "All ESP's CEHIs are Certified Moisture Management Professionals. ESP's programs were developed to prevent water intrusion and moisture problems; protect the insurance, lending, real estate and building industries from liability and the consumer against unhealthy living conditions; and to promote a greater standard of living at a reasonable cost with annual preventive maintenance programs."
"NAMM's 'Partnership for Prevention' with ESP will be one more positive step in preventing, protecting and promoting for all stakeholders in this very important issue," Mr. LaPierre concluded.
Ed Torres, CEO of ESP pointed out that a 1999 Mayo Clinic study found that 38 million Americans suffered from chronic sinus infections caused by molds. "Molds are a by-product of moisture problems," he remarked. "Getting their homes tested annually by a Certified Environmental Home Inspector is a good way for consumers to start maintaining a consistently healthy home environment."
ESP's professionally-designated CEHI Program consists of a suite of environmental services: allergen screening, energy inspections, neighborhood environment reports, radon testing, moisture management program, mold testing, and new builder program. ESP offers training, stringent protocols, scheduling and administrative support for the CEHIs, all of whom deliver the company's "Best in Industry" inspection and management services to consumers.
