Thirty-Five Years of Environmental Excellence.
EnviroHandy was founded on a multi-generational legacy of indoor air quality science, hazardous material containment, and structural general contracting. We bridge the gap between scientific diagnostic testing and turnkey construction rebuilds.
Scientific Integrity
Independent accredited lab analysis with zero conflicts of interest. We measure twice and remediate once.
Single-Source Accountability
One licensed team managing initial testing, hazardous material containment, demolition, and final reconstruction.
Preventative Engineering
Addressing root-cause moisture movement and soil gas intrusion so structural problems never return.
Generational Foundations
Our Environmental Lineage
EnviroHandy builds upon a 35-year family reputation established at the inception of modern indoor environmental testing in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Pioneering Radon Measurement Technology
Robert Ramsey co-developed the original Radon testing electret ion chamber radon testing technology — a passive radiation measurement device still utilized by certified inspectors nationwide. This scientific breakthrough laid the foundation for accessible, accurate indoor air quality testing.
Founding RTS Environmental Services
Building on early indoor environmental awareness, Paul and Michelle Ramsey founded RTS Environmental Services in Maryland. They introduced residential radon testing, lead-based paint inspections, and asbestos sampling to thousands of homeowners and real estate professionals across the Washington Metropolitan area.
Next-Generation Environmental General Contracting
Alexander Ramsey launched EnviroHandy to expand traditional environmental inspection into full-service general contracting. By combining high-tech diagnostic testing (FLIR infrared, continuous monitoring, accredited lab air sampling) with clean-room containment demolition and high-end structural reconstruction, EnviroHandy provides complete, single-source project execution.
