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.

Galveston's historic buildings and coastal properties require expert asbestos testing before any renovation or demolition project.

Why Galveston Properties Need Asbestos Testing
Galveston's unique building inventory presents significant asbestos risks, from historic homes built before 1980 to commercial structures damaged by hurricanes Ike and Harvey. The island's humid Gulf Coast climate accelerates deterioration of asbestos-containing materials in insulation, flooring, and roofing systems. Many properties underwent emergency repairs using imported materials that may contain asbestos despite newer construction dates. Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 1954 requires professional testing before renovation work, with violations resulting in substantial fines and potential criminal charges. Galveston County building permits now require asbestos surveys for most renovation projects. Don't risk your family's health or face legal penalties - schedule professional asbestos testing before starting any construction work.

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.
