Asbestos Inspection Services in Maryland Heights, MO

Maryland Heights was built out in the 70s and early 80s, right at the tail end of the asbestos era, and the original materials are still in place in a large share of its homes. Floor tile, sheet vinyl, ceiling texture, and joint compound from those years test positive routinely, and they're exactly the materials that flooring and remodeling projects disturb.

A typical Maryland Heights call: a homeowner replacing worn sheet vinyl in a kitchen and laundry room. Vinyl from that era is a double risk, because both the flooring itself and the paper backing can contain asbestos, and pulling it up shreds the backing into the air. We sampled before the flooring crew was scheduled. It came back positive, the removal was done properly, and the new floor went down on a clean subfloor instead of a contaminated one.

Our inspection samples the materials your project touches: sheet vinyl and backing, floor tile and mastic, ceiling texture, drywall compound, and pipe insulation. Every sample gets PLM analysis at an accredited laboratory, and the written report identifies each material clearly so your contractor knows exactly what can be demoed normally and what can't.

Test before flooring replacement in any home built before the mid 80s, before ceiling scraping, before basement finishing, and before any demo work. A day of sampling protects a week of renovation.

We're Missouri and Illinois licensed inspectors, and our job is the answer, not the upsell. Negative results are good news and we deliver them as such.
