State and federal regulations require a minimum of 3 samples per homogeneous material, but the number of samples increases with the total area of this material.:

  • Less Than 1000 sq ft = 3 samples
  • More Than 1000 sq ft = 5 samples
  • More Than 5000 sq ft = 7 samples
  • If unknown or unsure of sq ft = 9 samples

The samples will be analyzed by a certified laboratory for asbestos presence, and any material containing more than 1% of asbestos fibers will be reported as containing asbestos and will be subject to asbestos abatement.Asbestos abatement is not part of this service, but should you need it, we can recommend a certified asbestos abatement contractor.

Demolition Project Types

There are various types of projects where demolition asbestos testing may be required to identify and remove any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) safely. Some common examples of such projects include:

  1. Residential Demolition Projects: Before demolishing a residential property, such as a single-family home or apartment complex, it’s essential to have an asbestos inspection to ensure any ACMs are identified and removed safely.
  2. Commercial Demolition Projects: Commercial properties, such as office buildings or retail spaces, may also require asbestos testing before demolition work can begin.
  3. Industrial Demolition Projects: Demolishing industrial buildings, such as factories or warehouses, may require asbestos testing due to the presence of asbestos-containing materials in building components, such as insulation, roofing materials, and pipes.
  4. Renovation or Remodeling Projects: Renovation or remodeling projects may also require asbestos testing, especially for older properties that may have ACMs in building components such as drywall, flooring, and insulation.
  5. Schools and Public Buildings: Schools and public buildings may require asbestos testing before demolition or renovation work can commence, as the presence of ACMs can pose a significant risk to occupants and construction workers.

It’s crucial to have a licensed and experienced asbestos testing company, like EnvioCore, conduct a thorough inspection to identify any ACMs and develop a plan for safe removal to protect the health and safety of everyone involved in the demolition or renovation process.

Demolition Asbestos Testing FAQs

What is a Demolition?

A Demolition according to the State of Colorado (CDPHE) is when a load bearing member is going to be removed. We would call this a partial demolition if the whole structure was NOT going to be demolished.

If the entire structure is going to be brought to the ground then that is considered a Full-Demolition.

If a Demolition is going to occur then a demolition application must be filled out. The owner needs to fill out everything first then the inspector can sign the form once appropriate asbestos abatement has been performed.  If no asbestos was found then the permit can be signed right away.

EnvioCore can perform both types of inspections depending on your Project. We would identify the suspect building materials, collect the appropriate samples as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). We will then provide you with a detailed report outlining all the findings for the suspect materials. This report will let you apply for any necessary building permits so you can continue your project.

After applying for a building permit, why does the city/county need an asbestos inspection?

This is a routine request. Colorado law requires that local authorities ask for this information. You can find the state bulletin that explains these requirements by clicking here.

What is a Partial Demolition?

A partial demotlition is when a load bearing member is removed and not the whole structure brought down.
