Asbestos Inspection Services in Glen Carbon, IL

Glen Carbon's newer subdivisions don't need asbestos testing. The older part of the village does, along with the aging ranches and farm properties that predate the growth. The village's building stock splits cleanly at about 1980, and everything on the older side of that line deserves a look before it gets renovated or demolished.

Here's the kind of job that happens in Glen Carbon. A homeowner in one of the older sections wants to finish a project the previous owner started: pulling up the last of the original 9 inch floor tile in a basement. Half the floor is already bare, scraped by hand years ago by someone who had no idea what they were disturbing. The remaining tile and the black mastic under all of it came back positive. We documented the extent, and the removal happened safely with the right containment.

Our inspection samples the materials your project will disturb: floor tile and mastic, sheet flooring, plaster and drywall compound, ceiling texture, pipe insulation, and siding. Lab analysis is done by PLM at an accredited laboratory, and the report gives you a clear positive or negative on every sample with the paperwork your contractor needs.

Test before any remodel or demo of a pre-1980 structure, before buying an older property if you want to know what you're taking on, and whenever you find damaged material you can't identify. A few samples up front cost far less than a stopped project or a contaminated house.

We're licensed in Illinois and Missouri, based ten minutes away in Collinsville, and our results reflect what's in your home, not what generates work.
