Protect Environmental Earns First Inc. 5000 Ranking as Company Expands National Property Services Platform

Strategic growth and acquisitions earn Protect Environmental its first Inc. 5000 ranking as company builds integrated property health and performance platform.

LOUISVILLE, KY, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Protect Environmental, a rapidly growing home services company dedicated to protecting people, property, and the built environment, today announced it has earned a place on the 2026 Inc. 5000, the prestigious annual ranking of America's fastest-growing private companies. The ranking reflects the company's evolution from a nationally recognized radon services provider to a diversified home services platform protecting both the people who occupy buildings and the assets themselves.

Protect Environmental ranked No. 4,984 overall on the Inc. 5000, while also earning the distinction of No. 38 among Environmental Services companies and No. 28 among Kentucky-based businesses. The company is making its first appearance on the list after applying for the recognition for the first time.

Founded with a mission to reduce exposure to radon and other environmental hazards, Protect Environmental has spent decades helping create healthier indoor environments for families, workers, students, patients, and communities across the country. Today, that mission is expanding.

As homeowners, building owners, and facility managers face increasingly complex challenges—from indoor air quality and moisture management to energy efficiency and long-term building performance—Protect Environmental is broadening its capabilities to help protect not only the health of occupants, but also the integrity, efficiency, and value of the properties themselves.

Recent strategic acquisitions, including ARC Insulation, reflect this evolution. By adding services that improve building performance alongside environmental health solutions, the company is creating a more comprehensive platform that addresses the full lifecycle of the built environment.

"As our company grows, so does our mission," said Byron Crews, Chief Executive Officer of Protect Environmental. "We started by protecting people from environmental hazards like radon. Today, we're building a platform that protects both the people inside a building and the building itself. Whether it's improving indoor air quality, reducing environmental risks, increasing energy efficiency, or preserving long-term property performance, our focus is on helping customers protect their most valuable assets—their people and their properties."

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision-making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”

"Our first appearance on the Inc. 5000 reflects the momentum we've built, but it's also a launch pad for a much larger mission. We're building a company that protects both people and property by delivering integrated solutions that make buildings healthier, safer, more resilient, and more valuable. That's the future we're building toward."
