Asbestos Inspection Services in Wentzville, MO

Wentzville's boom is paving over its history fast. New subdivisions and commercial strips don't need asbestos testing, but the older buildings downtown and the farm properties being bought up for development absolutely do. Redevelopment means demolition, and demolition of pre-1980 structures means inspection first, both by regulation and by common sense.

Here's the Wentzville scenario. A developer assembles several parcels that include an old farmhouse and two outbuildings. Before anything comes down, Missouri requires an asbestos survey. The farmhouse had wrapped heating pipes and original floor tile, and one outbuilding had cement asbestos roofing panels. All of it was documented, abated, and disposed of properly, and the demolition permits moved without a hitch. The alternative, knocking it all down blind, would have contaminated the site and stalled the whole development.

Our inspection covers pre-demolition surveys for structures of any size, plus renovation testing for the older homes and commercial buildings around downtown Wentzville. We sample siding, roofing, floor tile and mastic, plaster, ceiling materials, and pipe insulation, with PLM analysis at an accredited lab and reports formatted for permitting.

Schedule before any demolition, before renovating pre-1980 buildings, and during due diligence on land purchases that include old structures, when the abatement cost still belongs in your negotiation instead of your budget overrun.

We're Missouri and Illinois licensed and we work with homeowners, contractors, and developers at every scale.
