Before a permit clears for demolition or renovation, counties require a good faith asbestos survey. Skip it, and you’re looking at denied permits, hefty fines, and shut down job sites. Our team handles the inspection, sampling, and lab reporting so your project moves smoothly from beginning to end.
Remodeling or gutting a space? An asbestos survey is required before work starts in most cases. Skip it, and you risk exposing your crew, opening yourself up to legal liability, having L&I inspectors shut your project down, and dealing with the reputation damage and costly delays that follow.
Tearing a structure down? Without a thorough asbestos survey, the city won't approve your demolition permit. An improper survey puts you at risk of finding asbestos mid demolition, halting work, disposal sites refusing your debris, and hefty fines if a neighbor reports improper disposal of asbestos material.
Told by a permit office or contractor that you need a good faith survey? Same AHERA certified inspection, just the name the permit office uses. It's required before work starts, and the permit office won't sign off without it.
Getting new flooring, or having HVAC repaired, serviced, or installed? Most contractors require AHERA-certified testing before they'll start, and won't accept a DIY kit due to liability. Get ahead of it so your job doesn't get rescheduled, costing you more time off work later.
Buying a property? Know what you're inheriting before you close, not after. We've had buyers plan a renovation, order a survey, and discover the whole house is full of asbestos, sending their budget and abatement costs far past what they ever anticipated.
Not sure if you need a survey, an inspection, or a single test? Every project is different, and the requirements change depending on what you're doing and where. Tell us what you're working on and we'll point you to the right asbestos test, no guessing on your end.
You want an inspector focused on your best interest, not the next job. Pick wrong, and you risk L&I violation tickets, a halted job site, and liability for both the contractor and homeowner. All it takes is one neighbor who knows a little to bring a compliance officer to your site. A proper survey is your first line of defense when that happens.
We’re a dedicated inspection company, not an abatement company. We don’t stand to gain from your materials testing positive. Our priority is protecting you, your crew, & your project.
A stalled job site costs you money every hour it sits idle. Paused projects or those with a time crunch get priority scheduling and rush results in as little as 24 hours. Our priority is keeping your project moving, not adding to the delay.
When an L&I compliance officer shows up, the first thing they ask for is the asbestos survey. Lack of a survey, or an improperly done one, and they can start writing $600/day fines on the spot. It goes up from there if other safety violations are present.
