Asbestos, lead, and mold testing in San Diego

From the coast to inland neighborhoods

One owner might be updating an older coastal house while another is drying out an inland home after a leak. The reasons differ, but the first step is the same: find out what's in the materials before you change them.

Reasons people request testing

A remodel is the most familiar one. Cutting into walls, ceilings, or floors can disturb materials, and that can release fibers or dust. A sale is another, when buyers or sellers want facts during escrow. A leak or flood can raise mold questions. Demolition plans usually start with asbestos questions, and your contractor or local permit office can tell you what your project needs. Clearance testing follows abatement work.

What's covered

• Asbestos testing: samples of suspect building materials, analyzed for asbestos.
• Lead testing: paint, dust, or soil checked for lead.
• Mold testing: air or surface samples where moisture has been a problem.
• Clearance testing: a check after abatement to help confirm the area is ready to use.

Asbestos and lead certifications in California belong to the individual doing the work. You can ask your testing partner for that person's name and look them up.
