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 Columbia Properties Need Asbestos Testing
Columbia's diverse building inventory spans from antebellum structures downtown to mid-century homes in neighborhoods like Shandon and Forest Acres, with many containing asbestos materials common in construction through the 1980s. South Carolina's high humidity and temperature fluctuations can cause asbestos-containing materials to deteriorate, releasing dangerous fibers during routine maintenance or renovations. The state's strict enforcement of EPA regulations means Columbia property owners face significant penalties for failing to conduct required asbestos surveys before disturbing building materials. Recent regulatory updates have increased scrutiny on renovation projects throughout Richland County, making professional testing essential for legal compliance. Protect your investment and avoid costly violations by scheduling comprehensive asbestos testing before your next Columbia renovation project.

Protecting Columbia Families and Workers from Asbestos Exposure

Our certified professionals use specialized equipment and containment procedures that prevent fiber release during sampling, ensuring accurate results without compromising safety. Columbia's older building stock requires expert assessment to identify hidden asbestos materials that untrained individuals might miss or improperly handle.

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.
