Asbestos is a natural mineral fiber that is mined from the ground. Over the years asbestos was mined and used in many products that were utilized in and around our homes and buildings to provide insulation, strength and fire resistance to these items. There are six regulated types of asbestos. The best way of locating and identifying them is through the use of specialized microscopes.

The use of asbestos has been restricted (but not completely banned!) in the U.S. for many years. Despite this, there are millions of homes and buildings with asbestos containing materials.

In some circumstances the asbestos can lay dormant for many years posing no significant health danger. It is when the asbestos becomes airborne that is poses the real threat. This can happen when the material is disturbed through construction, renovation, or through slow decay and weathering.

Affordable testing procedures are available by qualified professionals and accredited laboratories to determine if products contain asbestos.

• Comprehensive asbestos surveys of facilities.

• Design site specific specifications for renovation projects that impact Asbestos Containing Materials.

• Construction Oversight/Asbestos Air Monitoring.

• Conduct Final Visual Inspections & Clearance Monitoring prior to re-occupancy of each area. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) affect the manner in which buildings are evaluated, managed, renovated or maintained.
