About Us
Our Team is Customer Focused
The Empirical Company is your partner in providing a healthy and safe
workplace, this means going beyond telling you what you need to do to
remediate a situation.

Company Credo.
Professional Team
Our team includes: Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), Certified
Occupational Health and Safety Technologist (OHST), Registered
Environmental Assessor (REA), Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant
(CIEC) as well as CADD technician and other professional support staff.
Edward DeLorme, Richard Johnson, Linda DeLorme, and Paul d'Ombrain have
worked as a team on numerous remediation projects over the last 20 years. The team offers more
than 90 years of experience providing industrial hygiene services to
school districts, government agencies, industrial, commercial, and
institutional clients and private homeowners. We also have a senior training specialist
on staff.
Professional Services
We focus our day to day services on:
- Detailed asbestos surveys and documentation
- Detailed Lead (Pb) based paint surveys and documentation
- Indoor Air Quality studies
- Visual and mechanical surveys for mold and other biological contamination
- Employee chemical exposure monitoring
- Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments and Phase III remediation when needed.
Our services include indentifying potential risks and compliance
needs. If further prevention measures are needed, we work with employers to
find practical solutions to prevent occupational illnesses or injuries.
Reports are complete, well organized and provide information to help
employers understand issues and implement prevention plans. Our approach
is professional and scientific but we strive to make complicated
regulatory and health issues understandable to employees and management.
Project Experience
The TEC team has responded to many types of projects that have ranged
from a relatively small basement flood to assisting the EPA and other
federal agencies in identifying the extent of Anthrax contamination
within the Hart Senate Building in Washington D.C. We have developed
numerous abatement and remediation specifications from projects ranging
from a simple mold clean-up to major asbestos and lead abatement
projects to developing rather elaborate containment and decontamination
procedures for Anthrax.
Rest assured that when we receive your call to respond to your project
needs, we will not have to wait for equipment from a rental agency or
from our "other" office. TEC owns and uses "state of the art" equipment
including:
- Rigid High Quality Fiber Optic Bore Scopes (allowing us to take
digital photographs within otherwise hidden or enclosed spaces
such as wall cavities, above hard ceilings and vaults)
- Indoor Air Quality Monitors
- Photo Ionization Detectors (PID's) and
- Four gas monitors (Co, Co2, H2S, LEL) to respond to projects with
unknown contamination or confined space emergencies.
