Inspection Intent
Helpful property information, not remediation sales pressure.
Before renovating an older property, asbestos testing may help evaluate suspect building materials before they are cut, removed, sanded, demolished, or otherwise disturbed.
AP Consulting LLC provides inspection, testing, sampling, assessment, monitoring, and reporting. We do not perform lead abatement, asbestos abatement, mold remediation, restoration, or other remediation work.
Why Visual Review May Not Be Enough
Laboratory analysis may be required to determine whether a suspect material contains asbestos.
Planning Before Disturbance
Testing can provide information that helps owners and project teams make informed decisions before renovation work begins.
