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.
Professional Asbestos Testing Services in New Orleans, LA
New Orleans' historic architecture and post-Katrina reconstruction efforts make professional asbestos testing essential for property owners throughout Orleans Parish. From French Quarter Creole cottages to modern developments in Metairie and Kenner, buildings constructed before 1980 commonly contain asbestos in insulation, flooring, and roofing materials. Louisiana's humid subtropical climate can deteriorate these materials over time, increasing exposure risks during renovations. Federal EPA regulations and Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality requirements mandate professional testing before any demolition or renovation work begins. Our certified consultants provide comprehensive material surveys and laboratory analysis, ensuring your project meets all regulatory standards while protecting your family and workers from dangerous asbestos exposure. Contact AirMD today for compliant, professional asbestos testing services.
Why New Orleans Properties Need Asbestos Testing
New Orleans' unique building heritage presents significant asbestos challenges, with many structures predating the 1980 federal ban on asbestos-containing materials. Historic homes in the Garden District, Uptown mansions, and Bywater shotgun houses frequently contain original asbestos insulation, floor tiles, and siding. Post-Hurricane Katrina rebuilding efforts sometimes incorporated imported materials that may still contain asbestos despite newer construction dates. Louisiana's high humidity and frequent storms can cause asbestos-containing materials to deteriorate, releasing dangerous fibers into indoor air. State regulations under Louisiana Administrative Code require professional assessment before disturbing any suspected materials. Property owners who skip required testing face substantial penalties, project delays, and potential liability for worker and occupant exposure. Schedule your professional asbestos assessment before beginning any renovation project.

Protecting New Orleans Families and Workers from Asbestos Exposure
Professional asbestos testing protects New Orleans families and construction workers from devastating health consequences including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These diseases can remain dormant for decades before symptoms appear, making prevention through proper testing absolutely critical. DIY testing attempts often disturb materials improperly, spreading dangerous fibers throughout your property and creating greater exposure risks for everyone present. Louisiana's legal requirements aren't just bureaucratic hurdles – they're designed to prevent irreversible health damage that could affect your family for generations. Property owners who attempt unauthorized testing or skip required assessments face serious legal liability, including personal injury lawsuits and insurance coverage denial. Professional testing ensures accurate results while maintaining safe conditions throughout the process. Don't gamble with your family's health or your legal compliance. Contact AirMD immediately for certified asbestos testing that protects everyone involved while meeting all regulatory requirements.

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.
