What Is an Asbestos Due Diligence Inspection?

An Asbestos Due Diligence Inspection is a pre-acquisition asbestos assessment performed during the purchase, refinance, redevelopment, or leasing of a property. The goal is to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) before you finalize a transaction that could carry unexpected abatement costs or environmental liability.

I spoke with Vanessa - they were honest, transparent with me which I really appreciate. I had some questions about lead testing and they were straight shooters with me. Definitely recommend them and will use their business in the future.

Why Is Due Diligence Testing Important? 

Failing to identify ACMs before a purchase can result in:

  • Surprise abatement costs
  • Delayed or denied permits
  • Regulatory violations during future renovations
  • Insurance or financing complications
  • Liability for tenant or worker exposure

Whether you’re a buyer, investor, developer, or lender, asbestos testing allows you to uncover risks early, budget accurately, and avoid legal or financial surprises.

When Is Asbestos Due Diligence Testing Recommended?

While not legally required for every transaction, this inspection is strongly advised when:

  • Participating in HUD, EPA, or CDPHE-involved projects  
  • Purchasing older commercial or multi-family buildings
  • Acquiring retail, industrial, or institutional properties
  • Redeveloping or rezoning land with existing structures
  • Securing financing that involves environmental review
  • Leasing space that will undergo tenant improvements

Suspect Materials Commonly Found in Due Diligence Testing

Due diligence inspections test the same materials evaluated in renovation scenarios:

  • Popcorn ceilings and joint compound
  • Vinyl flooring and floor tiles (9×9, 12×12)
  • Mastic adhesives and carpet glue
  • Pipe and boiler insulation
  • Roof felt, flashing, shingles
  • Cement siding, stucco
  • Window glazing and caulking
  • Vapor barriers and HVAC duct insulation
  • Fireproofing materials and wall textures
  • Elevator insulation, backing board, gaskets
  • Decorative coatings and expansion joints

Any building, regardless of age, may contain asbestos. Colorado Regulation 8 applies to all structures, even those built after 1990, due to stockpiled or imported materials. 

Regulations You Need to Know

  • Due diligence testing is not mandated, but must follow Colorado Regulation 8, Part B
  • All sampling must be performed by a CDPHE-certified asbestos inspector
  • If renovation or demolition occurs after purchase, the original testing must meet permit compliance
  • Testing results from due diligence can often be reused if kept current and valid

Due diligence testing is proactive—it won’t replace later permit testing, but it helps you stay ahead of compliance and avoid costly surprises.

Who Is at Risk If ACMs Are Missed?

Unidentified asbestos can expose:

  • Future tenants, visitors, and employees
  • Property managers or maintenance crews
  • Contractors performing build-outs
  • Adjacent businesses or residences
  • The buyer, if liabilities arise after acquisition

Due diligence inspections help you control that risk before ownership transfers.  

What If Asbestos Is Found?  

You’re not required to remove ACMs immediately, but:

  • You’ll need to abate them before any disturbance
  • You must use a licensed General Abatement Contractor (GAC) for commercial or multi-family properties
  • You may negotiate credits or adjustments before closing
  • You’ll be able to plan timelines and costs accurately

Due diligence testing saves money by reducing surprises when permits, insurance, or tenants get involved.

Preparing for Your Inspection

To make your inspection seamless:

  • Provide property access details (lockbox, contacts)
  • Share any blueprints, environmental reports, or prior abatement docs
  • Move valuables or furniture from affected areas
  • Coordinate with tenants if needed
  • Let us know about due diligence deadlines or closing dates

We’ll handle the rest.

Our Process: How Due Diligence Testing Works

Step 1: Scope Review

We review your project goals, timeline, property type, and site access logistics.  

Step 2: On-Site Inspection

Our inspector walks the site, identifies suspect materials, and prepares a sampling plan that fits:

  • Structure size and complexity
  • Known renovations
  • Current/future development intent

Step 3: Sample Collection

Samples are taken with minimal disruption, sealed, documented, and sent to a NVLAP-accredited lab. Each sample includes:

  • Compliance with EPA AHERA protocols  
  • Material ID
  • Location & photos
  • Chain of custody

Step 4: Lab Analysis

Your samples are analyzed using:

  • PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy) – standard method
  • TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) – used when required for legal or advanced analysis

Results return in 2–3 business days. Rush options available.  

Step 5: Final Report  

You’ll get a clear, digital report that includes:

  • Sample logs and lab findings
  • Photos and material descriptions
  • Compliance reference (Regulation 8)
  • Risk assessment (ACM, non-ACM, trace)
  • Management or removal recommendations
  • Documentation for lenders, legal, or permit officials

This report becomes part of your due diligence package, helping you document environmental responsibility and prevent future claims.

Asbestos Due Diligence Testing FAQs

Do I legally need a due diligence asbestos inspection?

What if asbestos is found?

You can budget for future abatement, negotiate price, or plan compliance ahead of time. No removal is required unless disturbed.
