Asbestos, a hazardous mineral once widely used in construction, poses serious health risks when its fibers become airborne and are inhaled.

Initial Consultation
Upon scheduling an appointment, our experienced team will initiate an initial consultation to gather essential information about the property, its history, and any potential areas of concern. This step helps us tailor the inspection process to your specific needs.
Site Visit
Our certified asbestos inspectors will visually examine the property during the on-site visit. They will identify potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) commonly found in building structures, such as insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, and more.
Sampling Strategy
Following industry-standard protocols, our experts will meticulously collect samples if suspected ACMs are identified. These samples are then securely sealed and sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis.
Laboratory Analysis
The samples undergo thorough testing in a certified laboratory. This analysis determines the presence of asbestos fibers in the materials. The results provide crucial information about the extent of asbestos contamination and guide the subsequent steps.
Detailed Report
Upon receiving the laboratory results, our team compiles a detailed report. This report includes information about the identified asbestos-containing materials, their locations, and the concentration of asbestos fibers present. The report is a valuable reference for any necessary actions, such as removal or encapsulation.
Risk Assessment
Our experts conduct a comprehensive risk assessment based on the inspection findings. This assessment considers factors such as the condition of the ACMs, the potential for fiber release, and immediate risks to occupants. This step guides the development of appropriate management strategies.
Recommendations
Based on the risk assessment, we provide you with tailored recommendations. These include options for asbestos removal, encapsulation, ongoing monitoring, and maintenance strategies. We aim to help you make informed decisions aligned with your safety and budget considerations.
