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.

What Is an Asbestos Spill Delineation Inspection?

An asbestos spill occurs when asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed—intentionally or accidentally—releasing microscopic fibers into the air. This can happen during:

  • Renovation without proper testing
  • Emergency restoration work (flood/fire)
  • Contractor or tenant activities
  • Natural disasters (wind, tree impact, etc.)

A Spill Delineation Inspection is required to:

  • Assess the extent of contamination
  • Identify impacted areas and materials
  • Collect air, bulk, or surface samples
  • Guide cleanup by a certified General Abatement Contractor (GAC) if needed

In Colorado, any disturbance of 32+ sq ft (residential) or 16+ sq ft (commercial) qualifies as a major spill under CDPHE Regulation 8—triggering mandatory delineation and cleanup steps.

Why Does Spill Delineation Matter?

Asbestos fibers released into the environment can remain airborne or settle on surfaces, posing a serious health hazard. Delineation ensures:

  • ✅ Proper cleanup scope is identified
  • ✅ Only affected areas are remediated
  • ✅ Occupants and workers are protected
  • ✅ You stay compliant with CDPHE, EPA, and OSHA
  • ✅ Documentation is available for insurance, re-occupancy, or liability protection

Without delineation, cleanup may be incomplete, ineffective, or non-compliant—leaving you at legal and health risk.  

Common Scenarios That Trigger an Asbestos Spill

You may need spill delineation after:

  • ❌ Renovation or demolition without prior asbestos inspection
  • 🔥 Fire damage that compromised ceiling or pipe insulation
  • 💧 Water intrusion that disturbed drywall or flooring
  • 🧰 Tenant or maintenance work impacting suspect materials
  • 🌪️ Storms that broke siding, roofing, or ductwork

If you’re unsure whether asbestos may have been disturbed—assume risk and inspect. Delay only increases exposure.

Where Is Asbestos Commonly Found in Spill Situations?

Spill-related ACMs include:

  • Pipe insulation (crawlspaces, basements)
  • Popcorn ceilings or ceiling tiles
  • Black mastic and vinyl floor tile
  • Drywall joint compound
  • Roofing tar or felt
  • HVAC duct wrap
  • Fireproofing spray
  • Stucco or siding
  • Dust and debris spread through air or movement

Spill delineation inspects both the source and secondary areas impacted by airflow, contact, or foot traffic.  

What Are the Regulations?

CDPHE Regulation 8, Part B defines spills and outlines legal requirements for cleanup:

  • Any disturbed ACMs over 32 sq ft (residential) or 16 sq ft (commercial) = major spill
  • Certified asbestos inspector must conduct initial delineation
  • TEM lab analysis is required for air, surface, or dust testing
  • If a major spill is confirmed, only a CDPHE-certified GAC may perform cleanup
  • Clearance testing and full documentation are required for reoccupancy

Failing to follow this process can result in:

  • 🚫 Insurance claim denials  
  • 🛑 CDPHE enforcement
  • 💸 Fines exceeding $10,000
  • ⚖️ Legal claims from tenants, workers, or buyers

Who Can Perform Cleanup?

If a major spill is confirmed:

  • Only a CDPHE-certified General Abatement Contractor (GAC) may clean the site
  • Homeowners or unlicensed contractors cannot legally clean up
  • Cleanup involves:
  • Negative air pressure containment
  • HEPA filtration
  • Proper asbestos waste disposal
  • Final air clearance testing

EnvioCore can refer you to trusted GACs and coordinate follow-up inspection after abatement.

What If I Don’t Address the Spill?

  • Ongoing exposure risk for occupants, tenants, pets, visitors
  • Airborne fibers may circulate through HVAC systems or linger on surfaces
  • Legal and insurance liability increases daily
  • Unresolved spills can lead to eviction risks, tenant claims, or denied permits

Don’t leave asbestos uncontrolled. Inspect, document, and act.

Preparing for Your Spill Inspection

To help us act quickly and accurately:

  • Limit access to the affected area
  • Turn off HVAC or fans to prevent fiber movement
  • Inform building staff or tenants
  • Provide photos, timeline, or incident details
  • Secure pets and personal belongings if possible

Our Spill Delineation Process  

1. Rapid Response & Site Assessment

We quickly schedule and send a CDPHE-certified inspector to:

  • Evaluate the cause and severity of the incident
  • Limit cross-contamination
  • Document the scope visually and structurally

2. Sample Collection  

We determine which methods apply:

  • TEM air sampling (aggressive disturbance)
  • Wipe sampling (surfaces like countertops, floors, electronics)
  • Bulk sampling (visible debris or broken materials)

All samples are logged, sealed, and sent to NVLAP-accredited labs. Chain-of-custody is maintained throughout.

3. Lab Analysis 

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is required for spills. It detects:

  • Asbestos type (chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite)
  • Fiber size and concentration
  • Whether fibers exceed clearance or regulatory thresholds

Results available in 2–3 business days (same-day available for emergencies). 

4. Final Report  

You’ll receive a certified digital report including:

  • Photos and sample locations
  • Lab results
  • Impacted zones
  • Regulatory classification (major/minor spill)
  • Cleanup requirements
  • Clearance guidance (if needed)

This report is ready for CDPHE, legal, insurance, and abatement use.

Asbestos Spill Deliniation Testing FAQs

How do I know if this qualifies as a spill?  

If asbestos was disturbed and you didn’t test first, assume it’s a spill. Call us to confirm.

Will insurance cover asbestos cleanup?

Often, yes—especially for fire, flood, or accidental events. We’ll provide documentation to support your claim.

How do I get an estimate for cleanup?

Once delineation is complete, send the report to a licensed GAC. They’ll walk the site and quote based on the confirmed contamination scope.

What happens if I ignore the spill?

You risk legal liability, regulatory penalties, and long-term health consequences for everyone exposed.
