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 San Francisco Properties Need Asbestos Testing
San Francisco's building inventory spans over 150 years, with many structures predating the 1980s when asbestos use peaked in construction materials. The city's seismic retrofitting requirements often involve disturbing original building materials that may contain asbestos fibers. San Francisco's coastal climate and fog exposure can deteriorate asbestos-containing materials over time, increasing health risks. California Health and Safety Code Section 25915 requires professional asbestos surveys before any renovation affecting more than 100 square feet or any demolition project. The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection strictly enforces these requirements, with violations resulting in stop-work orders and substantial fines. Property owners and contractors who skip required testing face serious legal consequences including monetary penalties and potential criminal charges. Schedule professional asbestos testing today to protect your investment and ensure regulatory compliance.

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.
