Certified Asbestos Inspection in NYC

Asbestos is a serious health hazard that can lead to long-term diseases if inhaled. We identify asbestos-containing materials through certified inspection methods while keeping you safe from exposure risks.  

Many building owners and managers have no way of knowing whether their commercial space contains asbestos, because it is hidden in everyday building materials like floor tiles, ceiling panels, insulation, roofing, and pipe coverings. The same goes for residential properties built during the 1970s.

Even materials that look harmless, like popcorn ceilings and vinyl tiles, can release tiny asbestos fibers in the air, putting occupants at risk of cancerous and life-threatening diseases. That’s why at Big Apple Asbestos Removal, we provide certified asbestos inspections for buildings of all sizes.

Our inspection process includes visual assessments, sampling of bulk materials, and laboratory analysis to provide accurate results. You receive a report containing exposure risk levels and the next suggested steps in an easy-to-understand manner, such as asbestos removal and abatement.

Asbestos is not visible to the naked eye, which is why many property managers don’t know it exists in their buildings. Usually, it’s hidden in materials like pipe insulation, vermiculite, drywall, plaster, acoustic ceiling tiles and so on. That said, it’s important to conduct an asbestos inspection in compliance with NYC and federal regulations, in any of the following situations:

Asbestos-containing materials are generally classified as friable or non-friable. Friable asbestos refers to materials that easily release fibers into the air when disturbed, such as old insulation, spray-applied coatings, or popcorn ceilings. Non-friable asbestos, in contrast, is more solid and less likely to release fibers under normal conditions. Examples include vinyl floor tiles, roofing shingles, or cement sheets.

Our inspection process is designed to detect both categories with precision. Friable materials are riskier than non-friable, as even slight exposure can cause health symptoms down the line. We use a mixture of techniques like air sampling, air monitoring, PCM, and PLM according to their risk level.

No matter the situation, we prioritize your safety through containment systems, keeping everyone in your space protected from airborne fibers.

Once our specialists have identified asbestos-containing materials, the next step is safe, professional removal or abatement. We create a customized removal plan for each property, whether it’s a commercial building, school, or residential space. We use controlled methods, HEPA filtration, protective barriers to confine asbestos fibers, so employees, tenants, and visitors remain completely protected.

After the removal process, we also provide post-abatement air quality testing, and comprehensive documentation. We reassure you that your property is safe for occupancy and that it meets all regulatory standards. Our procedures follow OSHA, EPA, New York State, and NYC regulations, so you don’t have to worry about untrained personnel handling hazardous asbestos in your property.
