Water loss, flood and mitigation work
A water loss is the single most common way asbestos becomes an airborne problem: soaked drywall, joint compound, floor tile and mastic get cut out inside 24 hours, often before anyone asks what the material is. Testing first keeps a water claim from becoming an exposure claim.
We test and nothing else. No removal bids, no abatement sales — so a result can never pay us. $50 off today on first orders.

Cutting wet drywall and pulling floor tile is the exact activity that releases fibers. Wet material suppresses dust while it is wet — and releases it as soon as it dries or is broken. Characterize the material before the saw, not after.
Mitigation timelines are measured in hours. Same-day sampling windows and 24-hour accredited results — or rush 4–8 hours where available — mean testing fits inside the drying plan instead of replacing it.
Drywall joint compound and texture, popcorn and skim-coat ceilings, 9x9 and 12x12 floor tile with black mastic, linoleum and its backing, pipe insulation on wet lines, and plaster systems — all common asbestos-containing assemblies in a wet wall cavity.
We test and nothing else. No removal bids, no abatement sales — so a result can never pay us. The firm doing the tear-out does not decide whether tear-out is contaminated — that is what makes the result usable with a carrier and with the occupant.
Stop the cut
Extract water, but hold demolition on suspect assemblies until characterized.
Same-day sampling
Sampler collects from the wet assemblies plus adjacent homogeneous areas.
Accredited analysis
PLM analysis with documented chain of custody; air sampling if disturbance already happened.
Determination
Per-material result tells you what can be demoed normally and what cannot.
Hand off
Report goes to the mitigation firm, adjuster, and owner on the same order.
Turnaround
Standard accredited results in 24 hours. Rush 4–8 hour results available in supported markets, confirmed as an add-on before the order is booked.
Yes. Wet material samples normally; the analysis identifies asbestos content regardless of moisture. What matters is sampling before the assembly is broken up.
That shifts the question from bulk material to airborne fiber. Air sampling establishes what is in the breathing zone, and bulk sampling of remaining like material establishes whether the removed assembly contained asbestos.
Same-day sampling windows and 24-hour results are built for this. Rush 4–8 hour turnaround is available in supported markets when equipment is already staged.
It is commonly billed to the carrier or the restoration account as part of the loss investigation rather than to the occupant.
