City of Signal Hill Methane Gas Zone Mitigation The Signal Hill Methane Gas Zone is a large area with an abundance of natural gas underground. And development projects within Signal Hill Methane Zones are subject to methane soil testing and methane mitigation systems. This process is overseen by the City of Signal Hill Building Safety…
What is a Vapor Barrier Membrane for Soil Gas Mitigation? A vapor barrier, or a sub-slab vapor membrane, is a layer of protective material that prevents toxic vapor intrusion into buildings. An impervious vapor barrier can be a combination of plastic film, fabric, and sheets. And there are also roll-on and spray-on applications. Contractors usually install…
Vapor Intrusion & Soil Vapor Testing A vapor intrusion investigation entails the study of toxic soil gases that migrate through the subsurface and into the living spaces of structures aboveground. Geologists perform soil vapor tests to evaluate the presence of vapor-phase contamination underground. Additionally, the chemical content of the vapor samples is examined for toxicity…
