Building Inspections
Building inspections are conducted by employees trained according to the EPA AHERA requirements and registered with the State of California as Certified Asbestos Consultants (CAC) and/or Certified Site Surveillance Technicians. Our experienced inspectors are trained to:
-
comprehensively identify suspect asbestos-containing materials on the interior and exterior of buildings
-
assess the friability and damage of the suspect materials
-
collect a representative number of samples to accurately characterize the percentage, type, and location of an asbestos-containing material present in the suspect materials
-
determine the appropriate type of laboratory analysis to yield accurate results
A detailed and customized report is issued at the end of the project that can be used to determine the best and most cost effective approach to managing asbestos-containing materials.
Project Design & Management
Project design and management services prior to and during asbestos-abatement that are offered include:
- development of project design specifications
- perimeter / clearance air monitoring

Emphasis is placed on engineering controls, safe work practices, personnel protection, and sampling strategy.
ASEI provides all proper documentation after abatement completion. We prepare all final reports to document the safety and health aspects of the project including worker training, medical records, disposal manifests, and final project clearance documents.
