Sustainable Environmental Solutions for Nevada
What is Vapor Intrusion Mitigation?
In Nevada’s arid environment, vapor intrusion is a hidden yet serious threat. Methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) naturally move through soil and can enter buildings through foundation cracks, utility openings, or other vulnerabilities. Once inside, these vapors compromise indoor air quality and present long-term health risks such as respiratory issues, neurological effects, and even cancer.
Vapor intrusion is especially relevant in urban redevelopment areas, former industrial zones, and sites near dry cleaners, fueling stations, or landfills. It can occur during any stage of a property’s life cycle—from site selection and development through decades of use or even after a site has been abandoned.
At Advanced Construction Technologies (ACT), we help clients across Nevada identify, manage, and mitigate these risks through full-service vapor intrusion solutions, keeping buildings safe, compliant, and breathable.
Our Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Process
Nevada’s climate and soil present unique challenges—dry, sandy terrain, temperature extremes, and high groundwater variability all factor into proper vapor mitigation. ACT has the tools, expertise, and track record to deliver long-lasting solutions that perform in these conditions.
We offer both passive and active vapor mitigation systems, supported by a structured process that includes:
- Site Assessment – Soil gas testing and risk analysis to detect vapor presence and migration potential.
- System Design & Planning – Tailored to your project’s site characteristics and aligned with Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) and EPA Region 9 standards.
- Installation – Using best-in-class barriers, membranes, and detection systems, with trained field technicians ensuring top-tier execution.
- Monitoring & Maintenance – Ongoing system checks, remote monitoring, and post-installation support to ensure safety and compliance.
We also provide value engineering, transparent bid proposals, and hands-on project management. From permitting to post-construction performance checks, we stay involved and communicative at every phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
What challenges are unique to vapor mitigation in Nevada?
Nevada’s desert soil and temperature swings create challenges with material adhesion, vapor migration rates, and barrier performance. We use specialized materials and proven techniques that account for these variables.
Can ACT handle both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. We’ve worked on single-family homes, large mixed-use developments, and everything in between across Nevada.
What systems do you offer for monitoring?
We deploy 24/7 monitoring systems using FACP panels and Telguard TG-7 cellular communications. These allow for remote alerts and easy compliance tracking.
Do you design as well as install systems?
Absolutely. We have in-house engineers who can fully design your system. We also work with external engineers and consultants to install third-party designs with precision.
What makes ACT stand out in Nevada?
Our combination of local knowledge, regulatory experience, and commitment to quality sets us apart. We don’t just install systems—we guide projects to success from start to finish.
