Asbestos Testing & Surveys

Federal NESHAP rules require an asbestos inspection before renovation or demolition of most commercial and multifamily buildings. We sample, analyze and report so your contractor can get permits and start on time.

Services

  • Pre-renovation and pre-demolition asbestos surveys
  • Bulk sampling of flooring, mastic, drywall, roofing, insulation and more
  • Analysis by accredited laboratories (PLM, with TEM when needed)
  • Abatement project design and clearance air monitoring
  • Asbestos surveys added to Phase I ESAs for lenders

Why it matters

Buildings constructed before 1981 can contain asbestos in dozens of materials, and newer buildings sometimes do too. Disturbing it without a survey can stop a job, trigger fines and expose workers. A survey is also a common lender add-on for older properties.

Pair it with a Phase I

Buying or refinancing? Most lenders start with a Phase I ESA ($2,450 flat, about 10 days). We can add asbestos testing to the same site visit to save you time.

Questions

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?

In most cases, yes. Federal NESHAP rules require a thorough inspection before renovation or demolition of commercial and multifamily buildings, and many states and cities add their own requirements.

How fast are results?

Standard lab turnaround is a few business days, with same-day and next-day options available.
