Inspection Only No Conflict No Abatement Services

Most people call us when they’re about to start a project and need to know if materials contain asbestos — whether it’s before a kitchen or basement remodel, flooring installation, a home sale, or a permit requirement. Others just want clarity on something in their home that doesn’t look right. If that’s your situation, you’re in the right place. We provide licensed asbestos testing with accredited lab analysis and clear, straightforward results — so you know exactly what you’re dealing with and can move forward without delays.

About Our Asbestos Testing Services

Every inspection starts with a visual walk-through of the areas you’re concerned about or planning to disturb. From there, we take targeted bulk samples of materials like drywall, flooring, or ceiling textures that may contain asbestos.

Each sample is documented and sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis. You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand report with sample locations, photos, and lab results — so you know exactly what was tested and what it means for your project.

How It Works — Our 3-Step Process

  1. Schedule Your Inspection
    Call, text, or book online. We’ll confirm pricing and timing.

  2. On-Site Inspection & Sampling
    We walk the property with you and collect samples from materials that may be disturbed.

  3. Lab Results & Report
    Samples are analyzed by an accredited lab. You receive a clear report showing exactly what was tested and what the results mean.
