Wildfire Recovery Services

Wildfires can leave behind more than just visible damage — burned structures often release toxic heavy metals, asbestos, and other contaminants that remain in soil and water long after the flames are gone. These contaminants pose risks to health, safety, and future land use.

Hurvitz Environmental Services (HES) has been supporting wildfire recovery efforts since 2017, helping hundreds of homeowners and property owners in Northern California rebuild safely. Our team provides clear, defensible testing and guidance that meets regulatory requirements and gives you confidence in your recovery process.

Our wildfire recovery services include:

• Soil & Water Testing – Identify toxic metals and other contaminants left behind by burned structures.
• Pre-Abatement Testing – Asbestos and heavy metals testing to support safe demolition and debris removal.
• Post-Fire Environmental Assessments – Determine site conditions and provide recommendations for cleanup, remediation, or safe rebuilding.

At HES, we combine technical expertise with compassionate service to guide you through one of the most challenging recovery processes. We offer free consultations — call us to discuss your property and learn how we can help you move forward safely.
