What We Test

Whether you need a single suspect material sampled or a full pre-demolition survey, we collect, document, and analyze to regulatory standard.

Bulk Sampling

Asbestos Bulk Sampling

We carefully remove small pieces of the materials in question — floor tile, popcorn ceilings, drywall mud, mastic, pipe wrap, roofing and more — and have a certified lab confirm whether asbestos is present.

Surveys

Pre-Demolition & Renovation Surveys

Planning to tear down or open up walls? We walk the structure, identify every material that could contain asbestos, and document it so your project clears air-district review.

Assessments

Property & Due-Diligence Assessments

Buying, selling, or managing a building? Know what’s in it before you commit. We assess the property and flag asbestos concerns that could affect cost or safety.

When You Need Asbestos Testing

Asbestos was used in construction well into the 1980s and was never banned outright — which is why testing, not the building’s age, drives compliance.

Before demolition or renovation

The San Diego Air Pollution Control District wants an asbestos survey on file before it signs off on most demo and renovation permits. We give you exactly what the district asks for.

Real estate & due diligence

A straight answer on asbestos protects buyers, sellers, and lenders from costly surprises after the deal closes.

Suspected damage or disturbance

Leaks, age, or a planned remodel can disturb older materials and release fibers. A quick test tells you what you’re actually dealing with.

Regulatory compliance

Keep crews safe and stay on the right side of Cal/OSHA and EPA rules by confirming what’s present before work begins.

How It Works

A straightforward, defensible process from first call to final report.

1

Schedule

Sample on site

A certified consultant collects samples from each suspect material, sealing the area and tracking chain-of-custody.

3

Accredited analysis

An NVLAP/AIHA-accredited lab analyzes every sample under the microscope using EPA-approved methods.
