I am a Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.) with my Bachelor of Science Degree issued in 1982 from Dalhousie University.  Worked in in the geoscience industry since 1982 travelling around the Atlantic Provinces, as far north as Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territiories, to Swaziland, South Africa.  In 1990 obtained my Masters of Applied Science degree from the Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS) based on my thesis entitled "Application of a Geographic Information System to Hydrogeological Investigations". 

We own and operate all of the equipment to conduct the services we provide.  Within the last 26 years, as Atlantic Water Investigations Limited, I have investigated over 6000 residential/commercial properties.

We carry extensive Errors and Omissions Insurance for the advice we provide. Every company has a different approach to the level of effort, quality of service and professional qualifications they can or cannot provide. So when comparing prices ask the other companies if they are Licensed with Nova Scotia Environment and do they have Errors and Ommissions Insurance.
