Testimonials
We had potential water quality problem due to the actions of a third party and needed samples taken as a matter of urgency. Although this was outside the strict terms of our contract with ALS they were able to provide a sampler on a Friday afternoon, get the samples taken and returned to their labs for analysis.
They backed this excellent performance up by emailing us the sample results over the weekend. All in all a great piece of customer service!
