About Us
Keeping America Safe Since 1985
Clean Vapor received the 2011 AARST award for Advancing Science and Technology for our work in designing Energy Efficient New Construction Mitigation Systems.
Headquartered in Blairstown, NJ, Clean Vapor, LLC was founded by Thomas and Kristin Hatton, after spending 20 years developing and implementing vapor intrusion mitigation solutions for residential and commercial clients. Tom’s extensive experience includes work on over 11,000 sites in the US and abroad, and positions him as an expert in his field. Since our early days of entrainment modeling in 1985 (on the EPA’s first vapor intrusion site in Bowling Green, KY), we have been professionally involved in existing building mitigation (as well as new construction planning), and have contributed to numerous industry codes and standards documents.
