Asbestos Inspections
Georgia Environmental Group has a team of AHERA Accredited Inspectors on staff to perform residential and commercial asbestos inspections. Asbestos inspections is now required prior to any type of renovation or demolition activities. Asbestos is consider a hazardous material with many harmful characteristics and must be removed by a licensed contractor.
Asbestos inspections are done by taking samples of suspect materials and sending them to a lab for testing. This usually takes between 3-7 business days. In emergency situations, we are able to have results in 24 hours if needed. Some of the most common building materials that contain asbestos are roofing, sheetrock, linoleum or tile flooring and window glazing just to name a few. Once samples are taken and sent, the asbestos inspector will give you a detailed analysis of what was sampled, where the samples were taken, and the amount of asbestos contained in each material. If any asbestos is found during the inspection, it is very important that this material is not disturbed in any way.
