Special Services

  • Point Count Analysis. Asbestos analysis method that offers greater precision than standard method and is employed when results require further verification.
  • Composite Analysis. Asbestos analysis method that integrates results from both drywall and joint compound.
Schedule Now

Point Count Analysis

Point Count Analysis should be utilized when trace quantities of asbestos (less than 1%) are detected in friable surface materials. This technique offers greater precision than the standard method that is used to determine asbestos content and is the only method recognized by regulatory authorities as reliable for assessing asbestos levels.

This additional verification is recommended only for demolition inspections to ensure that the demolition application is not rejected by authorities due to uncertain results obtained from traditional analysis methods.

Composite Analysis

This method is used only when friable surface material such as drywall tests negative for asbestos while associated with it joint compound tests positive. Composite Analysis, in the majority of cases, allows to bring the initial asbestos value below 1% and thus eliminate the need for abatement.

Partial/Full Demolition Inspection

  • Up to 4 suspect materials.
  • Needs to be scheduled in advance.
  • Report with lab results, photos and conclusions in 48 hours. Expedited service available.
  • No trip charge within a 30-mile radius from downtown Denver.

Certified Asbestos Partial/Full Demolition Inspection

Partial demolition - an operation in which one or more load-supporting structural members are wrecked or removed.

Full demolition - the wrecking or removal of all load-supporting structural members of a facility together with any handling of debris related to the demolition, the intentional burning of any facility, or moving a facility from a permanent foundation.

For demolition projects, a certified asbestos inspection is mandatory. Additionally, a certified inspector must sign a Demolition Application, which must be filed with the CDPHE to initiate the permitting process.

Sample Collection:
During each Demolition Inspection, we will collect bulk samples from all materials that may contain asbestos. Asbestos demolition inspections are destructive in their nature, i.e.: we will tear apart structures that cover other structures to ensure that all suspect materials were inspected.

Laboratory Analysis:
All collected samples will be analyzed by a certified laboratory to ensure accurate identification of asbestos presence.

Reporting:
We will compile a detailed, easy-to-understand report summarizing all findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
Please check the section Special Services to see what are your options for expediting lab results and thus the report.

Certified Asbestos Renovation Inspection

Renovation involves modifying any component within or on a facility while maintaining the integrity of all load-supporting structural elements.

This inspection is recommended for materials installed prior to 1989 and it is mandatory when the affected area is larger than 32 square feet, regardless of when it was first erected.

Sample Collection:

During each Renovation Inspection, we will collect bulk samples from all materials designated for removal or disturbance. For example, if the renovation includes the removal of old linoleum and the demolition of a partition wall, samples will be taken from both materials.

The number of samples required complies with state and federal regulations, varying according to the type of suspected material. For example, we will collect two samples from the linoleum, three from the drywall, and two additional samples from the joint compound.

Laboratory Analysis:

All collected samples will be analyzed by a certified laboratory to ensure accurate identification of asbestos presence.

Reporting:

We will compile a detailed, easy-to-understand report summarizing all findings, conclusions, and recommendations.

What Is an Asbestos Renovation Inspection?

An Asbestos Renovation Inspection is a legally required, on-site inspection conducted by a CDPHE-certified asbestos building inspector before any renovation work begins. The goal is to identify suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) so they can be tested and managed properly.

This inspection is required under Colorado Regulation 8, Part B, and helps protect:

  • Contractors and tradespeople
  • Property owners and occupants
  • Future tenants or buyers
  • Surrounding communities

Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom or upgrading your HVAC system, if you’re disturbing more than 32 sq ft of material in a residential setting, asbestos testing is required by law.

What Renovation Projects Require Asbestos Testing? 

Renovation includes any activity that alters, disturbs, or removes suspect building materials. These common project types require an asbestos renovation inspection:

  • Bathroom or kitchen remodels
  • Flooring or ceiling replacements
  • Cutting or removing drywall and soffits
  • Electrical, HVAC, or plumbing upgrades
  • Window and door replacements
  • Interior tenant improvements
  • Water/fire damage restoration
  • Roofing or attic work

Important: Even small jobs (like drilling, sanding, or patching) may require testing if material disturbance exceeds square footage limits.

Renovation vs. Demolition – What’s the Difference?

In asbestos regulations, “demolition” refers specifically to work that affects load-bearing structural components. All other disturbance is considered renovation.

Examples of renovation (not demolition):

  • Flooring replacement
  • Popcorn ceiling removal
  • Kitchen or basement remodel
  • Re-roofing
  • Wall texture or siding replacement

If you’re unsure, Enviocore will help determine whether your project qualifies as renovation, partial demolition, or full demolition, and guide you through what’s required.

Common Suspect Materials That May Contain Asbestos 

These are materials most often tested during a renovation inspection:

  • Popcorn ceilings and ceiling tiles
  • Joint compound and wall textures
  • Vinyl and linoleum flooring
  • Floor tiles (9×9, 12×12) and mastic
  • HVAC duct insulation
  • Pipe insulation and boiler wrap
  • Cement siding, stucco, and transite panels
  • Roofing felt, shingles, and flashing
  • Window glazing and caulking
  • Vapor barrier paper and underlayment
  • Electrical wiring insulation
  • Plaster walls and backer board
  • Vermiculite insulation

Even homes and buildings constructed after 1989 may still contain asbestos due to stockpiled or imported materials.

Wasn’t Asbestos Banned?

No, asbestos was never fully banned in the U.S. Here’s what you need to know:

📜 Regulatory Timeline Highlights  

  • 1973–1978: Spray-applied and consumer ACM products banned
  • 1989: EPA attempted total ban — overturned in 1991
  • 1990: NESHAP mandated asbestos inspections for certain renovations
  • 2000s–Present: Colorado tightened laws (Regulation 8, Part B)

⚠️ Still-Legal Uses of Asbestos  

  • Asbestos cement products (siding, shingles, pipes)
  • Millboard, textiles, troweled surfacing
  • Some imported vinyl floor tiles and auto parts
  • Roofing felt, mastics, and caulking

✅ 2024 EPA Ban  

In 2024, the EPA banned chrysotile asbestos in some new manufacturing (e.g., gaskets, auto friction products), but this does not apply to existing building materials.Bottom line: Asbestos is still legal in many forms, and testing is still essential.

What If Asbestos Is Found?

If asbestos is detected above legal limits:

  • Only a licensed General Abatement Contractor (GAC) can remove it
  • GACs use containment, negative air pressure, proper disposal, and certified labor
  • Homeowners can remove asbestos in single-family homes but must file an opt-out form
  • All removal work must follow EPA, OSHA, and CDPHE rules
  • Disposal must be documented and approved

  • Access details (entry point, point of contact)
  • Any blueprints or permit docs you have

Submit this via our secure form or give us a call. We’ll get back to you with a proposal, schedule, and next steps.

Colorado Regulation 8: What You Need to Know

Under CDPHE Regulation 8, Part B, testing is mandatory if:

  • Residential: ≥ 32 sq ft of suspect material is disturbed
  • Commercial: ≥ 160 sq ft is impacted cumulatively
  • All buildings must be inspected, regardless of construction year
  • Testing must be done by a CDPHE-certified inspector

Failure to comply can result in:

  • Stop-work orders
  • Fines starting at $10,000
  • Delays in permitting
  • Liability for asbestos exposure
  • Costly site cleanups

Can I Opt Out of an Asbestos Inspection?

In some cases, owner-occupied, single-family homes may qualify for a CDPHE Opt-Out Form, but:

  • You must complete the official form
  • You assume full liability for any exposure or violations
  • You must submit the form before work begins
  • Cities may still require proof to issue a permit

Note: Opt-outs are risky and not available for rentals, commercial properties, or multi-family buildings.

The Enviocore Inspection Process

Here’s how we handle asbestos renovation inspections, step by step:

1. Project Consultation  

We collect your renovation details, floor plans, or permit application.

2. Site Visit & Material ID  

Our inspector walks the site, identifies suspect materials, and plans the safest way to sample.

3. Sample Collection  

2–3 samples per material type are taken in discreet locations, labeled, sealed, and documented.

4. Lab Analysis  

Samples go to a NVLAP-accredited lab for PLM or TEM analysis. Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours. Expedited options are available.

5. Final Report  

You’ll receive a digital report that includes:

  • Sample locations and photos
  • Material descriptions
  • Lab results with % of asbestos
  • Regulatory compliance summary
  • Clear next steps

This report can be used for permitting, abatement bidding, or safe clearance to proceed.

Renovation Asbestos Testing FAQs

Do I need asbestos testing even for small renovations?  

Yes — if disturbing 32+ sq ft (residential) or 160+ sq ft (commercial), testing is legally required. This is cumulative of multiple building materials that are being disturbed.

Can my contractor waive testing?  

No. Contractors are not authorized to make this decision. Only certified inspectors can determine material safety. If the contractor does waive it he takes on the responsibility and liability of local and federal regulatory asbestos compliance. It can be a heavy fine to the contractor if he does not test properly prior to renovation.

What happens if asbestos is found?

You’ll need to hire a licensed GAC to remove it safely. We are able to refer you to trusted  asbestos abatement contractor that is certified in the state of Colorado.

Is asbestos testing covered by insurance? 

Sometimes — especially when related to flood, fire, or disaster restoration. We offer direct billing support to insurance companies in these situations.

How fast can I get results?  

Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours. Rush results (same-day or next-morning) available on request.
