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 Washington DC Properties Need Asbestos Testing
Washington DC's building inventory spans from pre-war federal buildings and historic townhouses to modern commercial developments, with many structures built during peak asbestos use periods (1940s-1980s). The District's humid subtropical climate and age-related building deterioration can compromise asbestos-containing materials, increasing fiber release risks. Virginia and federal regulations require mandatory testing before any renovation or demolition work, regardless of building age or type. Property owners, contractors, and condo associations face substantial penalties, including fines up to $25,000 per day, business license suspension, and potential criminal charges for non-compliance. The DC area's strict enforcement environment makes professional assessment critical for legal protection. Even newer buildings may contain imported materials with asbestos content. Professional testing protects against personal injury lawsuits and insurance coverage denial while ensuring worker and occupant safety. Schedule your required asbestos assessment with AirMD's certified consultants today.

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.
