At Advanced Environmental Services, we provide professional PFAS testing and analysis for water, soil, and environmental media throughout Missouri and the Midwest. Our mission is to help clients identify and understand the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – persistent chemicals known for their resistance to natural breakdown and potential health risks. With advanced testing methods, certified laboratories, and decades of environmental expertise, AES delivers accurate data and actionable results that empower our clients to make informed decisions and maintain regulatory compliance.

Understanding the Importance of PFAS Testing
PFAS compounds have been used in countless industrial and consumer applications for decades, including firefighting foams, coatings, and manufacturing processes. Unfortunately, these “forever chemicals” can accumulate in groundwater, soil, and drinking water supplies, posing significant environmental and public health challenges.
In response, state and federal agencies – including the EPA – have implemented new guidelines and testing requirements for PFAS contamination. Professional testing is essential for understanding site conditions, assessing risk, and designing effective remediation plans. AES provides comprehensive testing services tailored to each client’s site and regulatory obligations.
Comprehensive PFAS Testing Services
AES offers a full spectrum of PFAS testing and analysis solutions to meet the needs of municipalities, industrial facilities, and private property owners. Our services include:
Site Assessments
Before any sampling begins, AES conducts thorough PFAS site assessments to determine the potential sources and extent of contamination. This includes evaluating site history, reviewing known PFAS use, and identifying the appropriate sampling points. Learn more on our PFAS Site Assessments page.
Sampling and Laboratory Analysis
Our team follows strict sampling protocols to ensure accurate, defensible results. Using state-approved methodologies, we collect representative samples from groundwater, soil, and drinking water sources. Samples are analyzed by accredited laboratories specializing in PFAS detection. See our PFAS Sampling and Testing Methods page for details.
Data Interpretation and Reporting
Once the analysis is complete, AES compiles all results into a clear, easy-to-understand report. Our environmental scientists interpret the data, identify contamination levels, and compare results with applicable state and federal limits. This information forms the foundation for developing effective remediation or treatment strategies. Learn more about our PFAS remediation solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions About PFAS Testing
What does PFAS testing involve?
PFAS testing begins with site evaluation and sampling of water, soil, or other environmental materials. Samples are analyzed in certified labs using advanced instruments that can detect PFAS at extremely low concentrations.
How long does PFAS testing take?
Turnaround times vary based on the number of samples and laboratory schedules, but most testing results are available within two to four weeks.
Do all properties need PFAS testing?
Not necessarily. However, testing is strongly recommended for sites near airports, military bases, landfills, industrial facilities, or locations where firefighting foams have been used.
What happens if PFAS contamination is detected?
If PFAS are found, AES will help you understand the results and discuss next steps, which may include further assessment or remediation. Our team provides full PFAS removal and cleanup services.
