VAPOR INTRUSION

Vapor Intrusion is a buzz word that is gaining velocity throughout the industry. Vapor Intrusion refers to the migration of Soil Gas Vapors emanating from the earth into an occupied space or structure. The particular vapors of concern are volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, methane, hydrogen sulfide and semi volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) to name a few. Terra-Petra can prevent these vapors from intruding into your structure.
