Awards and Recognition

Routine asbestos inspections are generally not required unless building materials become damaged, renovations are planned, ownership changes, or regulations require an assessment. Buildings with known asbestos-containing materials should be periodically monitored to ensure the materials remain in good condition and do not pose a health risk.

Asbestos does not automatically reduce a property’s value, but buyers may request inspection reports before completing a purchase. Having professional asbestos testing, documentation, or certified removal completed can improve buyer confidence and help facilitate real estate transactions.

Stop work immediately, avoid touching or cleaning the material, keep people away from the affected area, and avoid using a household vacuum, as it may spread asbestos fibers. Contact a certified asbestos inspection and removal professional to assess the situation and recommend the safest course of action.
