Asbestos Building Inspection Services
Many homes and commercial buildings constructed before 1980 contain asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos may be found in insulation, floor tiles, ceiling materials, pipe coverings, roofing products, and other building components.
While asbestos-containing materials may not pose a risk when undisturbed, renovation, demolition, or deterioration can release fibers into the air. Professional asbestos building inspections help identify suspect materials and determine whether laboratory analysis is necessary.
A thorough asbestos inspection typically includes:
-
Visual assessment of suspect materials
-
Collection of representative samples
-
Accredited laboratory analysis
-
Detailed inspection reports
-
Recommendations for management or abatement
Property owners planning renovations should strongly consider asbestos testing before disturbing older building materials.
