Survey Process
Thorough Building Inspection
Our expert investigators conduct a detailed survey of the property, beginning with a comprehensive visual inspection. They assess the building’s condition, identifying potential areas where asbestos might be present. Samples are collected from various locations, including insulation, tiles, and other suspected materials. These samples are then analyzed to determine the presence of asbestos, ensuring that any remediation or abatement efforts are based on accurate data.
With over a decade of experience, our certified investigators provide a meticulous evaluation of your property. They not only identify asbestos-containing materials but also offer recommendations for safe management or removal. This thorough approach ensures that all potential risks are addressed, safeguarding both the occupants and the integrity of the building.
Comprehensive Lab Testing

We partner with laboratories that are approved by the Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP), guaranteeing that every sample is analyzed with the highest standards of accuracy. Once samples are collected, they are promptly sent to these accredited labs where they undergo rigorous testing. Results are then quickly compiled and submitted to the property owner or applicant, ensuring that you receive the necessary information without delay.
