Trust EnvioCore with your Asbestos Testing Inspections

It’s best to test for asbestos BEFORE you begin your project! During any construction or renovation project, it’s likely that you’ll be disturbing building materials, which can cause microscopic asbestos fibers to be released into the air.

Breathing in these fibers is extremely dangerous. This is why asbestos is a federally regulated hazardous material, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) requires testing before you begin any disturbance.

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and manufacturing due to its heat resistance, chemical resistance, high tensile strength, and affordability. For decades, it was added to insulation, drywall, floor tiles, roofing materials, joint compounds, adhesives, and more To increase strength and resilience.

Although banned or heavily restricted in many modern applications, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are still present in thousands of homes and buildings across Colorado—especially those built before 1985.

Why Is Asbestos Dangerous?

When disturbed, asbestos-containing materials release microscopic fibers into the air. Inhalation of these fibers has been conclusively linked to serious and often fatal illnesses, including:

Mesothelioma (a rare form of cancer)
Asbestosis (scarring of lung tissue)
Lung cancer
Chronic respiratory issues

Asbestos exposure is cumulative—the more exposure over time, the greater the health risk. That’s why testing before renovation or demolition is not just smart, it’s required by law in many cases.

Where Is Asbestos Commonly Found?

Asbestos can hide in many everyday building materials, including:

Ceiling tiles and popcorn ceilings
Drywall joint compound
Vinyl sheet flooring and linoleum
VCT 9×9 and 12×12 floor tiles
Roofing shingles and felt
Siding (cement board or panels)
Pipe and boiler insulation
Vermiculite insulation (attics)
HVAC duct wrap and gaskets
Electrical wiring insulation
Mastic, adhesives, and glues
Textile insulation (e.g., around furnaces or stoves)

Even homes built after 1980 may contain asbestos in stockpiled or imported materials.

Do I Need to Worry About Asbestos in Colorado?

Yes. In Colorado, CDPHE Regulation 8 requires asbestos inspection and testing before any renovation or demolition of structures built before 1985, or if materials may be ACMs regardless of age.

Cities like Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Arvada, and Westminster often refuse permit approvals until asbestos testing is complete. Skipping this step can result in:

Legal and regulatory penalties
Construction delays
Worker safety violations
Lawsuits or insurance claim denial

Health Risks of Asbestos Exposure

There is no safe level of exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. Prolonged or repeated exposure increases the likelihood of developing:

Chronic cough
Chest pain or tightness
Breathing difficulty
Cancer (especially among smokers)

Vulnerable populations—children, seniors, and individuals with preexisting respiratory conditions—are at the highest risk.

Regulatory Compliance in Colorado

We work directly with homeowners, contractors, real estate agents, and municipalities to ensure compliance with:

CDPHE Regulation 8 (Colorado)
EPA NESHAP (Federal demolition rules)

Asbestos Testing Arvada FAQs

How do I know if my home has asbestos?

You can’t tell just by looking. Lab testing is the only reliable way to identify asbestos-containing materials.

My home was built after 1978. Do I still need testing?

Yes. Asbestos was never fully banned. Many post-1978 homes still contain ACMs, especially if materials were imported or stockpiled. The state of Colorado CDPHE requires all years, residential and commercial to be tested.

I’m remodeling. Do I need testing?

Absolutely. Any renovation that disturbs drywall, flooring, insulation, or roofing should be tested first. It’s the law in Colorado for pre-1985 homes.

Is Enviocore certified for asbestos inspections?

Yes. All our inspectors are state-certified and we use CDPHE-approved laboratories.

I’ve applied for a permit—why is the city asking for asbestos inspection?

Because most municipalities follow CDPHE requirements. Permits won’t be issued for renovations/demolitions without an asbestos report.

I have vermiculite insulation in my attic. Should I worry?

Yes. Vermiculite insulation often contains tremolite asbestos. We strongly recommend testing before disturbing it.

How fast can you come out for an inspection?

We offer next-day availability in most areas across Colorado. Rush testing options are available.

Do you handle asbestos removal?

No. Enviocore is an independent inspection firm. We do not remove asbestos, which allows us to provide objective, unbiased reports. We can refer you to trusted abatement contractors.
