Before beginning renovation, demolition, or remodeling work in older buildings, it is important to determine whether asbestos-containing materials may be present. Disturbing these materials without proper evaluation can release hazardous fibers into the air and create serious health risks.
HB Environmental Services provides professional asbestos inspections and asbestos testing to help property owners identify regulated materials before construction work begins.
Many building materials installed before modern asbestos regulations may contain asbestos fibers. Flooring materials, adhesives, insulation, ceiling systems, and wall components can all contain asbestos in older residential and commercial structures.
An inspection helps determine whether materials must be professionally removed through regulated asbestos removal procedures before renovation or demolition can proceed safely.
Asbestos may be present in several types of construction materials, including:
• 9x9 vinyl asbestos tile
• black mastic adhesive beneath flooring
• pipe insulation and pipe wrap
• ceiling materials and wall systems
• insulation products
Testing helps determine whether these materials require professional abatement before renovation work begins.
During an inspection, suspect materials are carefully evaluated and samples are collected using controlled procedures designed to minimize disturbance. Samples are sealed and submitted to certified laboratories for analysis.
Laboratory results confirm whether asbestos is present and help determine the appropriate next steps for testing, management, or removal.
HB Environmental Services provides asbestos inspection and sampling throughout St. Louis, St. Charles, O’Fallon, Chesterfield, Ballwin, Florissant, Fenton, Wildwood, and surrounding communities.
Many homes and commercial buildings built before the 1980s contain 9x9 asbestos floor tiles. These materials must be handled carefully to prevent asbestos fibers from becoming airborne. Our licensed abatement professionals safely remove asbestos floor tiles using containment systems, HEPA filtration, and proper disposal procedures.
Black mastic is a common adhesive used beneath older floor tiles and frequently contains asbestos. Removing mastic requires specialized equipment and containment procedures to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading during the removal process.
Older floor tiles installed before asbestos regulations often contain asbestos fibers. Our team safely removes asbestos-containing floor tiles from homes and commercial buildings while following strict EPA and OSHA safety protocols.
If you discover materials in your home or building that may contain asbestos, our specialists can help evaluate and identify suspect materials. When necessary, samples can be collected and tested to determine whether asbestos is present.
