Before a remodel
Samples cover only what the project will cut, sand or remove. Finishing a lower level, for example, might call for the ceiling texture, the floor tile and its adhesive, and any taped ducts in the way.

You can’t tell asbestos apart from ordinary building materials by looking. We bring in an inspector certified by the Minnesota Department of Health to take small samples from the ceilings, floors, walls and wraps in your work area. An accredited lab then reports a result for each sample.
Whether you own the house, rent it out or are building on the lot, we can set up testing in Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center and Crystal.
What we test
Before a teardown
A house that is coming down gets a full inspection first, attic to foundation and siding to roof. MPCA requires it for every structure, carried out by an MDH-certified inspector.
Your lab report
We send samples only to labs with NVLAP or AIHA accreditation. Read the report line by line, since a sample above 1 percent asbestos counts as asbestos-containing under Minnesota law.
When testing is required
A homeowner planning a remodel in Minnesota is not under a general survey rule. The three situations below are where a survey is expected.
Remodelers with crews
A company with employees has to get a survey from a qualified person before its workers demolish, remodel or restore any part of a building that may contain asbestos. So when you hire a remodeler with a crew, the survey is their obligation.
Commercial and public buildings
Renovating a store or tearing down an office? Every commercial or public building gets an asbestos inspection first, however recently it went up.
Hennepin County demolitions
When Hennepin County inspects a property ahead of demolition, its staff want the asbestos survey and the report that goes with it. The Brooklyn Park demolition form itself never asks for a survey.
