Why Choose Us for Asbestos, Lead Paint and Hazardous Materials Inspections?

We understand the importance of maintaining a safe and healthy environment in your home or workplace. Whether you own a residential property or manage a commercial building, ensuring that your spaces are safe from hazards like asbestos and lead paint is essential. With our comprehensive inspection services, you can rest assured that your property is in safe hands.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials due to its heat resistance, strength, and insulating properties. However, it has since been found to pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues and diseases like mesothelioma, when its fibers become airborne and are inhaled.

What is Lead Paint?

Lead paint was commonly used in homes and buildings prior to 1978, when it was banned in residential properties due to health risks. Exposure to lead paint, especially in the form of dust or chips, can cause severe health problems, particularly in children, including developmental delays, neurological damage, and other long-term effects.

Why Timely Inspections Matter

Undisturbed asbestos-containing materials and intact lead paint may not pose an immediate risk. However, renovations, demolitions, or even wear and tear can release harmful fibres or dust into the air. Regular inspections help identify and mitigate these risks before they become hazardous.
