EHC Associates, a leader in environmental consulting and hazardous material remediation, has a rich history dating back to the early 1980s. Originally founded as an architectural firm by William C. Gallagher, the company pivoted to focus on environmental services in response to emerging regulations surrounding asbestos in schools, particularly following the enactment of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) in 1986. Under Mr. Gallagher’s vision, EHC Associates became a pioneer in asbestos compliance, eventually establishing itself as a trusted authority in the area of environmental hazards.
After Mr. Gallagher’s passing in 2005, his legacy was carried on by his sons and John Hartman, who recognized the growing demand for professional abatement and remediation services. This led to the formation of Environmental Hazards Control (EHC), a division that enhanced the company’s ability to address environmental challenges faced by both residential and commercial clients.
Today, EHC Associates has transformed into a multi-million dollar enterprise, offering a comprehensive range of services including asbestos abatement, lead paint abatement, mold remediation, duct cleaning, and demolition. The company prides itself on its commitment to excellence and integrity, ensuring that all projects meet the rigorous standards set forth by governing agencies. EHC’s success is further evidenced by its strong workforce, dedicated professionals, and a loyal client base that relies on their expertise to manage environmental risks.
As part of its ongoing commitment to community and client service, EHC Associates actively engages in educational outreach regarding environmental safety, while also providing tailored solutions to numerous clients in the Mid-Atlantic region. Their dedication to safeguarding both the environment and public health makes them a vital partner in restoration and maintenance projects.
