(EDR) introduced reports for consumers. Available through EDR -Certified Mohawk Valley Home Inspection, LLC, the EDR Neighborhood Environmental Report provides an informative and easy-to-understand snapshot of a home's environmental health and that of teh surrounding area.

Accessing a database of millions of records, the report will identify known environmental hazards. Some of the most dangerous or costly hazards exist outside and can contaminate a home through pathways to human contact such as vapor intrusion, soil and ground water.
