Listen to what Environix Clients are saying about us.
"We were very pleased with the excellent service that Environix provided. They expertly diagnosed the situation and developed a plan to correct it. They went out of their way to make sure that the paint and tile they used and installed matched the original. "
Susan T., Redmond, Washington
"Environix performed mold remediation on a wall adjacent to the bathroom where water had leaked and caused mold to grow inside of the wall. They removed the insulation and cleaned up all areas affected by mold then sealed and encapsulated any remaining contaminated areas. They also took pictures before and after and provided a report. They were great to work with and were very prompt and did a great job. I would highly recommend them."
Dan F., Medina, Washington

"Thanks so much for all you have done to help make my office a healthy happy place to be. First, you were so responsive and came out right away to test the space. After that you did a great job of explaining the results and letting me know the seriousness of the situation without freaking me out. Then you were able to schedule the remediation at a great time for us. Finally you did a wonderful job on the work. My office actually feels better. Through all of this you were super friendly, fast and professional. I wouldn't trust my mold removal to anyone else! - Thanks Again!"

Comments: "They were the only professional company that did a bid. They actually came on site and after looking at everything addressed our actual need rather than just guessing at the problem. One of the other companies gave us a $17,000 bid for a completely new roof without even coming onsite to inspect the problem (we don't even have a leak!)." |

Housing Repair and Weatherization
In support of the Housing Authority’s commitment to environmental sustainability, Environix takes a holistic approach to the work we do. We strive to use sustainable construction methods and materials that help create healthy and comfortable homes. Environix uses state-of-the-art technology and methods to assess the weatherization and indoor air quality needs of homes. We often provide technical advice to other KCHA departments and other providers of home improvement services.
We are the prime contractor for the King County Public Health Department - Asthma Home Remediation (C44119C)
Healthy Homes-II is a sponsored project of the King County Asthma Forum and is funded through the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences. The project was developed through methods that incorporate lessons learned from Healthy Homes-I, the perspectives of community partners, and evidence from the scientific literature.
Healthy Homes-II looks at two main approaches to improving asthma control. The first approach utilizes a "Community Asthma Nurse" who provides patient education, training in self-management, the development of a patient-specific asthma action plan, and case management/review.
The second approach is to provide all aspects of the Community Asthma Nurse intervention plus in-home outreach, education and resources (bedding covers, vacuums, cleaning supplies, etc.) to address environmental triggers (like Healthy Homes-I). Support in self-management, medication use, provider-patient communication, etc. would also be reinforced. Community Health Workers (based on the "natural helper" model) will provide the in-home outreach. They have had education about asthma, training in asthma self-management and the control of environmental asthma triggers.
A third approach is funded separately through the office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This adds structural remediation of housing for conditions that increase exposure to asthma triggers (e.g. poor ventilation, mold-infiltrated surfaces, leaks, holes in walls, carpeting, etc.). An average of $3000 will be spent per unit, and will be supplemented by funds leveraged from weatherization and other local housing program. The prime contractor for this approach is Washington Environix.
The three levels of intervention will test the following hypotheses within a randomized controlled trial:
Level 1 Intervention. Clinic-based asthma education emphasizing self-management and linked to case management provided by a Community Asthma Nurse will:
• increase knowledge
• increase self-efficacy
• change behaviors
• improve health status and reduce asthma-related medical care utilization among
• low-income children age 3-13 with persistent asthma who live in King County
Level 2 Intervention. The addition of in-home self management support, environmental assessment and support for making behavioral changes to improve indoor environmental quality, provided by specially trained, salaried Community Health Workers, will further:
• increase knowledge of home environmental health threats and asthma self-management
• change behaviors to reduce these threats
• lower the risk of exposure to such threats
• improve health status and reductions in asthma-related medical care utilization
• beyond that seen with asthma education and case management alone.
Level 3 Intervention. Adding remediation of structural problems related to exposure to asthma triggers to the two interventions mentioned above will:
• further lower exposures
• yield additional improvements in health status and reductions in asthma-related medical care utilization beyond those seen with the interventions described in levels 1 and 2.
