FAQ

Common questions

Do I need an asbestos inspection before demolition?

In Colorado, yes. Regulation 8 requires an inspection by a certified building inspector before most renovation or demolition work that could disturb building materials. We handle the inspection and the paperwork that goes with the permit.

What types of testing do you do?

Asbestos, mold, lead-based paint, radon and other environmental hazards, plus post-remediation clearances and site assessments.

How do I schedule an inspection, and how fast can you get on site?

Call 303-286-9094 or use the contact page to get in touch with us. For most Metro and Front Range addresses we can usually schedule within a day or two, and same-day for urgent circumstances. For projects further away, we are still able to get an inspection scheduled quicker than most firms. We understand that much of what we do is needed during emergency situations, and we will tell you honestly what we can do.

How long do lab results take?

Onsite PCM clearance results come back the same day. For other analyses, turnaround depends on the laboratory option you choose. Labs offer several options, from same-day results on many tests to a week or two for others. We confirm turnaround when we scope the job.

What is the difference between a Phase I and Phase II ESA?

A Phase I is a records and site review that identifies likely contamination risk on a property. A Phase II is the sampling that follows if the Phase I turns something up.

Do you work outside the Denver metro area?

Yes. We are based in Lakewood and serve the Denver metro area, the mountains and the Western Slope across Colorado, plus select neighboring states.

Do you work with insurance companies and contractors?

Yes. Many of our clients are insurance companies, which we work with directly and indirectly through homeowner policies. We also work with builders, developers, flippers, and anyone doing work that may disturb hazardous materials.
