Residential Asbestos Inspections
In Colorado all suspect materials (example: wall and ceiling texture, flooring, duct wrap, etc.) are considered asbestos-containing no matter the build year.
It is my responsibility, as a state and EPA Certified Inspector, to inspect the areas of the home you plan to impact to determine if the material is asbestos-containing or not.
A comprehensive and easy to understand report is compiled and given to my customers. If asbestos is found in the scope of the inspection, I will help you through every step of the process to make sure you get a fair abatement price and all material is removed.
The regulated trigger levels (amount of material being disturbed in the project) for residential in Colorado is 50 linear feet on pipes, or 32 square feet on other surfaces, or
55-gallon drum volume equivalent.
Commercial Asbestos Inspections
Commercial property can range from common areas in rental properties, up to multiple building properties. Anytime maintenance or renovation scope goes over the trigger level (see below), the materials in the scope will need to be sampled for asbestos.
My Asbestos Guy works with abatement contractors that can handle any job no matter the size. I can help your company through the process with job walks, bidding process, project designs, and project management.
The regulated trigger levels (amount of material being disturbed in the project) for commercial in Colorado is 260 linear feet on pipes, or 160 square feet on other surfaces, or
55-gallon drum volume equivalent.
Asbestos Spill Inspections
A spill inspection happens when material has been disturbed that might be asbestos- containing without having it tested prior to removal. This can be something as small as water damage that causes asbestos-containing ceiling to fall in a house up to a full gut of a residential or commercial property. Asbestos containing material (ACM) is any material analyzed and found to contain asbestos over one percent.
A minor spill is disturbance less than the trigger levels of asbestos-containing material. Minor spills are not regulated but we do suggest proper cleaning to reduce the exposure to airborne asbestos fibers.
A major spill is a disturbance greater than the trigger level.
Residential trigger level is greater than 50 linear feet on pipes, or 32 square feet on other surfaces, or 55-gallon drum equivalent.
Commercial trigger level is greater that 260 linear feet on pipes, or 160 square feet on other surfaces, or 55-gallon drum volume equivalent.
Post-Abatement Verification
A post abatement verification or air clearance is a service I provide to ensure the safety of the air after the abatement process, but before the containment is removed.
While there are many steps in the air clearance, the main points are making sure the material was removed, no dust or debris is left inside the containment, and air samples are collected to make sure the air is below the MAAL (Max Allowable Asbestos Level). The Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level (MAAL) is the level of asbestos that can be present in the air without exceeding the EPA's clearance level of 0.010 fibers per cubic centimeter.
Asbestos Project Designs / Project Management
A project design and project manager is required when more than 3,000 square feet of friable asbestos-containing material is being removed, encapsulated, or enclosed.
Project managers can be waived if the abatement company and the scope of work itself meets a few requirements.
The project design cannot be waived. The project design outlines all the abatement actions, regulations, timelines, personnel, and equipment that will be used for the project. The purpose is to have one document that guides the project and follows all regulations.
