Hi, I’m Jay Lanzy. I am the President and Principal Owner of Fresh Air Technologies, LLC.
With over 25 years of specialized experience in environmental consulting, building inspection, and hazardous material abatement, my life’s work has been dedicated to improving indoor air quality and resolving structural moisture issues.
Before founding Fresh Air Technologies, I spent six years operating as a project hydrogeologist for a multi-national environmental consulting firm. During that time, I conducted comprehensive Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) and worked as a certified building inspector identifying asbestos-containing materials (ACM). I also managed large-scale asbestos and lead abatement initiatives across highly regulated environments, including schools, hospitals, and power generation facilities.
Today, I personally oversee the day-to-day operations at Fresh Air Technologies. My primary mission is to develop, engineer, and implement rigorous, scientific cleaning and structural remediation protocols for both residential and commercial properties.
My Background in Environmental Geology (And Why That Matters to You)
As an Environmental Geologist, I study how human structures interact with soil, water, and the surrounding earth. Unlike a standard general contractor who might look at a wet basement and suggest a quick surface patch, I approach your property by analyzing the underlying site mechanics—such as soil composition, hydrostatic pressure, water table fluctuations, and vapor migration.
When you work with a company led by an Environmental Geologist, you gain an immense advantage:
- Root-Cause Resolution: Instead of merely treating the symptoms (like cleaning up visible mold), I diagnose why the moisture or contaminant is present in the first place, addressing the environmental source so it never comes back.
- Scientific Protocol Design: Every single project I oversee features customized, written technical protocols that I design to protect building occupants, maintain structural integrity, and ensure complete bio-remediation.
- Uncompromising Safety: Backed by my decades of dealing with highly regulated hazardous materials like asbestos and lead, I apply rigorous containment and safety standards to every job to protect your long-term health and property equity.
My Technical Expertise & Core Services
Crawl Space Mold Removal
Leveraging my decades of environmental consulting expertise, I develop precise, non-invasive mold remediation protocols to safely neutralize micro-fungal growth. My team ensures that all containment areas are built to strict negative-pressure standards to prevent spore cross-contamination into the living spaces above, prioritizing your family’s health and safety above all else.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
I design crawl space encapsulation systems that completely isolate your building’s sub-structure from raw earth and humidity. By engineering continuous vapor barriers alongside heavy-duty sealing techniques, my team transforms damp, unconditioned spaces into clean, dry zones that reduce your energy costs and deter wood-destroying organisms.
Crawl Space Waterproofing
Understanding hydrostatic pressure and subsurface water movement allows me to design effective crawl space drainage and waterproofing networks. My systems integrate perimeter interior drains, high-capacity sump pumps, and specialized discharge lines configured to divert water away from your foundation before it can pool or damage structural framing.
Dehumidifier Installations
Unregulated relative humidity is the primary driver of structural rot and microbial growth. I personally specify and oversee the installation of commercial-grade, energy-efficient dehumidification systems calculated precisely for the exact square footage and volume of your crawl space or basement, locking in stable, low-humidity environments.
Dry Ice Blasting Solutions
For aggressive and completely eco-friendly surface cleaning, I utilize dry ice blasting (CO2 ablation). This advanced technique uses pressurized solid carbon dioxide pellets to safely strip mold, soot, and contaminants from wood framing and masonry without creating secondary toxic waste streams or damaging the underlying materials.
Basement Waterproofing
Applying my background as a project hydrogeologist, I assess groundwater tables and soil saturation levels to engineer robust interior and exterior basement waterproofing systems in homes. From specialized crystalline sealants to heavy-duty drainage fabrics, my approach stops water intrusion even under heavy hydro-pressure.
Structural Foundation Repair
Moisture degradation frequently leads to foundation settling, bowing walls, and unstable floor joists. I combine geological site assessment with structural repair strategies, implementing engineered solutions such as heavy-duty support piers and stabilizer beams to restore structural equilibrium and secure your building’s permanent footprint.
Aeroseal Air Duct Sealing
Up to 30% of a building’s conditioned air is typically lost through hidden ductwork leaks. I utilize advanced Aeroseal air sealing technology—a computerized process that pressurizes your duct network and distributes micro-particles of non-toxic sealant from the inside out—effectively closing gaps, improving HVAC efficiency, and blocking airborne pollutants.
Insulation Removal
Contaminated or water-damaged insulation lowers energy efficiency and traps mold spores, odors, and rodent dander. I establish strict containment procedures to safely extract compromised fiberglass or cellulose insulation, followed by the installation of high-performance insulation materials tailored to meet modern building codes and optimize R-value performance.
Radon Mitigation Solutions
Radon is an odorless, radioactive gas that migrates naturally through soil and enters buildings via foundation cracks. Drawing on my core environmental geology experience, I design sub-slab depressurization and active soil depressurization networks that capture radon before it infiltrates your property, safely venting it above the roofline.
Air Duct Cleaning
To ensure pristine indoor air quality, I implement systemic air duct cleaning protocols that remove built-up dust, bio-films, and debris from supply and return plenums. Using high-powered negative pressure vacuums and specialized mechanical brushes, we scrub the entire HVAC air path to eliminate recirculating allergens.
Electrical Services
Environmental remediation frequently demands advanced mechanical hardware, from heavy-duty sump pumps to continuous-duty dehumidifiers. My operational oversight ensures that all dedicated electrical circuitry, control panels, and wiring meet strict local electrical codes, providing reliable and safe configurations for every system we install.
Proudly Serving Residential, Commercial, and Realty Sectors
I have tailored my engineered environmental solutions to meet the distinct compliance, regulatory, and financial needs of three core sectors:
