- Accredited lab sampling for reliable identification
- Thorough visual inspections and documented site audits
- Clear, actionable reports you can rely on for compliance

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in an independent asbestos survey?
An independent survey typically includes a visual site audit, photographic records, identification of suspect materials, and accredited sampling where necessary — followed by a written report and laboratory certificates.
Do you send samples to an accredited lab?
Yes. We follow strict chain-of-custody procedures and dispatch samples to NATA-accredited laboratories for definitive analysis and certification.
How long until I get the lab results?
Typical turnaround from an accredited lab is 3–5 business days after receipt of samples. We notify you as soon as results and the final report are available.
Is an independent survey necessary before renovating?
If your property was built before the early 1990s or you suspect ACMs, an independent survey helps you identify hazards and plan safe work. It’s often a condition of permits and property sales.
