ECG: Delivering superior environmental assessment, inspection, and testing services since 1993.
ECG was founded in 1993. At that time, ECG mainly provided asbestos consulting to various clients. ECG also developed asbestos removal project specifications for the Illinois Capital Development Board and conducted Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for the Illinois Housing Development Authority.
Since 1993, ECG has broadened its range of environmental services and has grown in both personnel and total sales.
ECG now has a staff of 14, which includes 9 technical staff members. In addition to asbestos consulting, ECG conducts a wide range of environmental services including Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, lead-based paint inspections, mold assessments, indoor air quality investigations, and soil and groundwater remediation.
Major clients include the City of Chicago, Capital Development Board, Jones Lang LaSalle, The John Buck Company, Union Station, Northeastern Illinois University, University of Illinois at Chicago, Cushman & Wakefield, Roosevelt University, Zeller Realty Corporation, Centrum Properties, and Ross Barney & Jankowski. ECG also services hundreds of residential clients each year.
Other environmental firms provide similar services, but what sets ECG apart from the rest is our ability to keep the client's primary interests in mind. ECG understands the need to get the environmental work done as quickly and cost effectively as possible, and we bring that perspective to each and every project.

Review by Tina D.in Naperville, IL Project: Test for Toxic Materials & Mold
Colleen was very helpful and was able to schedule an estimate that day! The crew were very professional and described the process well. They were respectful neat and efficient, but most of all did a terrific job removing the mold in my attic! The price was very simular to other bids tho I liked the transferable warranty....I highly recommend ECG for your needs...

Review by a customerin Chicago, IL Project: Test or Evaluate Asbestos Risks
We were having a vacant building inspected for asbestos prior to demolition. The lock on the security gate had not been opened in several years. The tester had no problem trying to help open the lock. He also had no problem with helping to open the door that had swollen in different places due to the rain and humidity. He stayed around after he finished his work to make sure that the door was secured properly. Very friendly and very professional. The work was done quickly and efficiently.

Review by a customerin Oak Park, IL Project: Test for Toxic Materials & Mold
I had a consultation with Spencer on the phone and was very impressed with his thorough knowledge and professionalism. Then, another associate, Luke came to my house, was professional, thorough, and reasonably priced. The next week, I was emailed a report.

Review by a customerin Chicago, IL Project: Test for Toxic Materials & Mold
They seemed very efficient and were patient in answering questions and were exceptionally articulate in relation to other contractors I've hired through the years. I liked their technological approach and philosophy, which differed from other mold inspectors I interviewed. I hired them to find, or rule out, mold as a possible source of a smell that was affecting my upper respiratory system. They found isolated evidence of mold, and theorized the main source might be old books and records, etc. The smell seems worse days after a hard rain, then subsides. Unfortunately, there had been very little rain, and the smell was minimal. I may ask them back if conditions make the smell more prominent.

Review by Rill H.in Chicago, IL Project: Test or Evaluate Asbestos Risks
I actually had Spencer Savoie from Environmental Consulting Group on my project and he was great! He educated me on all the environmental problems in the home and guided me toward testing that made sense both from a risk management perspective and a cost management perspective, which I really appreciated. The report was also thorough and timely.
