HB Environmental Services provides professional asbestos testing and inspection services for residential and commercial properties throughout the St. Louis region. Many building materials used before the 1980s contain asbestos, including floor tiles, insulation, adhesives, ceiling textures, and other construction materials. When these materials are disturbed during renovations or demolition, asbestos fibers can become airborne and pose serious health risks.
Our trained specialists inspect suspected materials and collect samples that are submitted to certified laboratories for analysis. Accurate asbestos testing allows property owners, contractors, and homebuyers to determine whether asbestos is present and what steps should be taken next.
An asbestos inspection involves evaluating building materials that may contain asbestos. During an inspection, trained professionals examine suspect materials commonly found in older homes and buildings, including flooring, insulation, pipe coverings, adhesives, and ceiling materials. If asbestos-containing materials are suspected, samples can be collected for laboratory testing.
Professional inspections help determine whether asbestos is present before renovation, demolition, or abatement work begins.
Laboratory testing is the only way to confirm whether a material contains asbestos fibers. HB Environmental Services collects samples from suspect materials and submits them to certified laboratories for analysis. Common materials that may require testing include floor tiles, black mastic adhesives, pipe insulation, textured ceilings, and other construction materials found in older buildings.
Testing provides accurate results that help determine whether asbestos abatement is necessary.
Homes built before the 1980s may contain asbestos in flooring, insulation, and other materials. Homebuyers often request asbestos inspections before purchasing older properties to understand potential environmental hazards and future remediation needs.

Property owners sometimes discover materials they suspect may contain asbestos but are unsure how to identify them. Our specialists can evaluate suspect materials and determine whether testing is recommended. If needed, samples can be collected and submitted for laboratory analysis.
