I'm so, so glad I came across this company. I can't say enough good things from the very first call, to the actual indoor fungal assessment conducted and explained to me by Alexandria. I'd absolutely recommend to anyone who has any suspicion of mold issues or water event.

We decided to get AirMD to do a mold inspection and glad we did! Christian is an excellent technician and pointed out spots that were suspect. He took the time to explain to us his procedure and how we can fix the situation in the future. Hurricane Ian left his mark in the form of water spots on our ceiling, mold on the attic side.

Why Birmingham Properties Need Asbestos Testing
Birmingham's building inventory includes structures from the early industrial era through modern construction, with many properties in Jefferson County containing hidden asbestos hazards. Alabama's humid subtropical climate can accelerate deterioration of asbestos-containing materials, increasing fiber release risks in older homes and commercial buildings throughout the Magic City area. From historic Southside residences to mid-century ranch homes in Mountain Brook, asbestos was commonly used in insulation, floor tiles, and roofing materials until the 1980s. Alabama law requires professional asbestos surveys before renovation or demolition, with severe penalties for non-compliance including substantial fines and potential criminal charges. Property owners and contractors who skip required testing face business license suspension, insurance coverage denial, and personal injury lawsuits. Protect your investment and avoid legal liability by scheduling professional asbestos testing before your next Birmingham area renovation project.

Protecting Birmingham Families and Workers from Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos exposure causes devastating diseases including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis that can remain dormant for decades before symptoms appear, making prevention absolutely critical for Birmingham families and workers. Professional testing is the only way to identify hidden asbestos hazards in your home or workplace before dangerous fibers become airborne during renovation activities. DIY testing attempts often disturb materials improperly, spreading deadly fibers throughout your property and creating greater health risks for everyone inside. Birmingham's older building stock requires expert evaluation to identify asbestos-containing materials that may appear harmless but pose serious long-term health threats. Our certified consultants use specialized equipment and proven procedures to safely assess your property without creating contamination risks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asbestos Testing
Federal, state, and county regulations require professional asbestos testing before disturbing any building materials, regardless of building age. This applies to all renovation, demolition, or restoration projects completed in institutional, commercial, public, industrial, and residential buildings containing 4 units or more. The EPA’s National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) mandates testing before any work that could disturb materials. Property owners, contractors, condo associations, and property managers who skip required testing face substantial monetary penalties and potential jail time. Even newer buildings may contain asbestos from imported materials, making professional testing essential for legal compliance and safety.
Professional asbestos testing is a fraction of the cost compared to legal penalties and liability exposure. While testing typically costs hundreds of dollars, violations can result in fines ranging from $25,000 to $75,000 per day, plus potential criminal charges. Insurance companies may also deny claims for improper handling, leaving property owners liable for complete remediation costs that can reach tens of thousands of dollars. For contractors and property managers, violations can result in license suspension, business closure, and personal liability. The small upfront investment in proper testing protects against devastating financial and legal consequences.
