Asbestos surveys
Before you cut, sand or tear out anything in an older building, someone certified needs to identify what those materials are. We're SCDES and NCDHHS licensed Asbestos Building Inspectors and Supervisors, and that's exactly what we do.

The usual suspects

Asbestos shows up in dozens of everyday building products. In an older building, these are the materials most likely to stand between you and your project.

How it works
What to expect
Inspection
A certified building inspector walks the scope of work and identifies every suspect material that the project will disturb.
Bulk sampling
Samples are collected from each suspect material type using standard methods and logged under chain of custody.
Lab analysis
An accredited laboratory analyzes the samples and reports whether asbestos is present and in what percentage.
Survey report
You get a written survey identifying each material, its location, and its result. This is the document your contractor and the permitting office need.
The deliverable
What you’ll get
A written finding, not just a verbal opinion. It's documentation you can act on, send to your insurance carrier or hand straight to a contractor.

On the job
What it looks like on site
A survey is as much paperwork as it is a site visit. These are the moments we photograph and log for your report.

Got questions?
Straight answers to the questions people ask most. Don’t see yours? Just call.
My building is newer. Do I still need a survey?
Requirements depend on the age of the structure and the scope of work. Send us the address and what you are planning and we will tell you what applies before you spend money on it.
What happens if asbestos is found?
The survey identifies which materials require licensed abatement before your work can proceed. We can explain the options and what the scope would involve.
Will the survey hold up my project?
Not if we know your timeline. Tell us your start date when you call and we will schedule the inspection and lab work around it.
