Why Charleston Properties Need Asbestos Testing

Charleston's building inventory spans centuries, from 18th-century historic homes downtown to post-war developments in Summerville and Goose Creek. The city's humid subtropical climate and salt air can deteriorate building materials, potentially releasing asbestos fibers from aging insulation, floor tiles, and roofing materials. Many Charleston-area properties built before 1980 contain asbestos in unexpected locations, while some imported materials in newer construction may also pose risks. South Carolina's strict renovation and demolition regulations require professional testing regardless of building age, with significant penalties for non-compliance. Property owners in Charleston County face additional liability from the city's active code enforcement and the potential for personal injury lawsuits if asbestos exposure occurs during unpermitted work. Don't risk your family's health or face costly legal consequences. Schedule professional asbestos testing with AirMD before starting any renovation project.

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.
