Meet the Host: Shelley Hines, CEO of DCG Environmental

Fear spikes when you can’t see the threat. We sit down with DCG Environmental CEO Shelley Hines to pull back the curtain on the invisible risks hiding in homes and workplaces—mold behind drywall, asbestos in aging materials, fire byproducts in ductwork, and even narcotics residue after a crisis. Shelley explains how a testing-first approach replaces panic with facts, prevents costly mistakes, and guides safe, targeted remediation across Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

Shelley shares the firm’s unglamorous superpower: turning frantic calls into clear action plans. You’ll hear how DCG grew for a decade on word of mouth, built on fast response and careful reporting, and why she finally invested in a revamped website and business development to scale without losing trust. We dig into the practical side of environmental testing—when to sample, what labs actually report, and how to interpret results without letting Google stoke fear. From soot and combustible byproducts after a fire to water contamination and indoor air quality screens, Shelley outlines where hidden hazards originate and how to verify what’s really there.

Beyond the lab, we connect with the person behind the mission: four energetic dogs, weekends on a hunting lease with an excavator, and a purpose to educate, give back, and help people make confident choices about their spaces. The conversation is direct, friendly, and packed with real-world tips: test first, decide second; focus on moisture before mold; and treat data as your safety plan. If you want practical guidance on protecting your home or business—and a candid take on what matters most in environmental health—this one delivers.
