Asbestos, lead, and mold testing in Pasadena

Before you open up a Craftsman

Picture a kitchen update in an older bungalow. The cabinets come out, and there's older flooring underneath, or old plaster behind the drywall. So the moment you plan to cut, sand, or tear out, it helps to know what's in those layers. Testing can give you facts before work starts, not after.

Common reasons to request a tester

• You're planning a remodel or an addition.
• You're selling, or buying and in escrow, and want clear information.
• A roof leak or plumbing problem left damp walls or a musty room.
• An abatement contractor just finished, and you want clearance testing on the work area.

What each test looks for

Asbestos testing checks building materials such as old tile, duct wrap, or textured ceilings. In California, the person doing that work is certified by Cal/OSHA as a Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) or Certified Site Surveillance Technician (CSST). Lead testing checks paint, dust, or soil, and lead inspectors and risk assessors are certified by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Mold testing looks at air or surfaces. California doesn't license or certify mold testers, so ask your tester which training or certifications they hold. Clearance testing happens after abatement and helps confirm the area is ready for use.
