Asbestos Inspection & Testing in O'Fallon, IL

Most of O'Fallon is too new for asbestos, and that's exactly why the older parts get overlooked. The homes and commercial buildings around the original downtown core predate regulation entirely, and as the city grows, those are the properties getting renovated, converted, and torn down to make room.

Here's the scenario we see in O'Fallon. A small business owner buys an older building near downtown to convert into retail space. The renovation plan touches everything: flooring out, ceiling grid down, a wall removed. The 9 inch floor tile and black mastic tested positive, and so did the pipe insulation above the drop ceiling that nobody knew was there. Because the survey happened before the contractor's demo week, the abatement slotted into the schedule instead of derailing it.

Our inspection covers what your project disturbs: floor tile and mastic, sheet flooring, plaster, drywall compound, ceiling texture and tiles, pipe insulation, siding, and roofing. Commercial renovations and demolitions have regulatory inspection requirements, and our reports are written to satisfy them. Every sample gets PLM analysis at an accredited lab.

Test before renovating or demolishing any pre-1980 building, residential or commercial, before purchase when the building's age puts asbestos in play, and whenever suspect material turns up damaged. For the newer majority of O'Fallon homes, the honest answer is you likely don't need us, and we'll tell you that on the phone rather than sell you an inspection.

We're licensed in Illinois and Missouri and we handle both the residential and commercial sides of this work.
