What Inland Environmental does

Inland Environmental Remedial Services, Inc. (DBA: Inland Environmental) is a privately held environmental services company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Barrington, Illinois. The firm provides inspection, testing, abatement, and remediation services for asbestos, mold/fungus, lead-based paint, indoor/outdoor air quality, soil and groundwater contamination, and above/underground storage tank (AST/UST) removal, delivered to residential, commercial, industrial, municipal, government, and institutional clients primarily across the Chicagoland area and Midwest region. The company also operates 24/7 emergency response services for hazardous material releases caused by flood damage, pipe breaks, boiler malfunctions, and inclement weather. Service delivery uses industry-standard and USEPA-recommended practices, with technical differentiators including thermographic imaging for water intrusion detection and a proprietary Check-Well Micro-Well System for groundwater monitoring and remediation delivery to depths greater than 150 feet below surface.

The business model is professional services-based, with quote-driven project pricing, free estimates, and pay-as-you-go billing. There is no recurring subscription component; revenue is generated per project across service modules. The go-to-market approach is sales-led, driven by direct phone inquiries (1(847)677-7500), the company website, and 24/7 emergency contact, supported by presence on customer review platforms (Google Business Profile, Angie's List, Better Business Bureau) and a YouTube content channel. The company is led by President David J. Frycek, with Patricia Ungaro as Assistant to the President and D. Cyle Frycek as Project Manager & Cost Estimates, suggesting founder/family-controlled ownership. Inland Environmental holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, is licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health for asbestos inspection and project management, and maintains a multi-decade operating history in a regulated service category. No external funding, M&A activity, or partnership alliances are disclosed; revenue is not publicly reported.
