A proctor is a sample of material collected at the site and is brought to our lab and evaluated through various testing methods. Results for density and compaction tests are invalid unless a proctor is collected.
Blower Door
A specialized fan is placed in the front door of a residential home, measuring the air pressure and airflow. Identifying leaks will uncover flaws in door installation and recommendations are provided.
Compaction
A concrete sample is taken from your site and returned to our lab where our laboratory technicians perform a standard compaction test. Results provide valuable information about the material's load-bearing capacity and its overall quality.
