About Us

EHC Associates (formerly EHC Associates, Inc) environmental consulting division was founded in 1987 by William C. Gallagher, AIA, who was a pioneer in dealing with asbestos in schools and how the new AHERA regulations impacted schools. The company began as an architectural firm in the early 1980s. However, in response to the AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) legislation of 1986, the company profile changed. Since few environmental service companies existed at that time, Mr. Gallagher decided to launch an environmental consulting division of EHC Associates to serve his clients and meet their environmental services needs to comply with these new government mandates.

The environmental consulting division has had great success within the industry over the years and continues to be one of the leading experts in asbestos compliance. Because of our experience, as evidenced by our company’s longevity, our expertise and exemplary performance encompass all asbestos regulations as set forth by the five governing agencies to ensure that our clients’ projects meet these regulatory standards.

After Bill Gallagher’s passing in 2005, the company was handed down to his three sons, Patrick, Edward “Ted” and Tom, and John Hartman, then Vice-President of EHC Associates. The new owners saw a void in the industry that needed to be filled, which was to provide quality abatement and remediation services performed by professional, knowledgeable personnel. Therefore, in 2005, EHC Associates created an environmental contracting division to meet our client’s abatement and remediation needs; e.h.c. (Environmental Hazards Control) was formed as a division of EHC Associates and continues to provide world-class abatement and remediation solutions throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

After calling around to different companies I decided to have EHC remove around 1000sqft of asbestos from my home. Elio, Alex & their team made the process quick, efficient and easy from start to finish. Their work was impeccable and their professionalism in taking care of everything was astounding. I can’t recommend them enough!

First I want to thank Barb for working with my wife and I over the phone, she is awesome. Second we would like to thank Elio for coming into our home to explain everything that was going to be done. Last we want to thank Louis and his awesome crew that was at our house. They were so accommodating to us and our pets. Great people like this in the industry go unnoticed, but my wife Erin & I want you all at EHC to know you are valued very much!

We had Elio Cirilo come out to assess and quote asbestos removal at our plant. Their price was fair and they were able to come out very quickly to tackle the job. Alex Henriquez was the supervisor for the job and he was great with communication and making sure that all of our requests were met and safety protocols were followed. They even did a big job in a quarter of the time I expected. I can't recommend them enough!

I would like to share my experience with one of your employees. I found out I had asbestos exposure in one of the main basement pipes at my house, which I had recently purchased. Elio Cirilo was very professional from start to end with this process. I actually was very impressed with his communication skills; he explained the before-and-after process of asbestos removal in detail, answered all my questions without any hesitation and did not rush things; I actually felt like he cared, which is rare to find these day, dressed very professional, and his professional knowledge made me feel more comfortable and at ease with everything before leaving, since at the time I was feeling very stressed out about the whole situation and not knowing whether I would be able to afford this or not, since I am a single mother. Although, I decided to go elsewhere for my asbestos removal, I would definitely recommend your company because of employees like Elio, who make the process a little less painful.

There was a team of people at E.H.C. that worked with dedication and care to make our home safe and healthy. Elio, Barb and Louis all played an important part in the scope of work in our home. I am thankful for their work, support and effort.

Elio was wonderful to work with, he returned my calls in a timely manner and was quick and efficient with his quote.Alex and Ryder were punctual, polite and professional. They communicated updates to me throughout the process and explain the next steps. They respected my home and did an excellent job cleaning up after themselves when they were finished. I would absolutly do business with EHC again in the future if the need arises.

The crew did a great job in removing the asbestos material. Pedro Aluane was great to work with, and he went the extra mile giving me a hand at end of day in installing a tarp over the work area in case it rained over night. Thanks
