Industrial Environmental Testing

Environmental Testing Services for Commercial Property Owners in San Jose, CA

Because warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing buildings, data hosting centers, heated or cold storage buildings, showrooms, and other non-residential or non-commercial buildings could be built using materials made with asbestos, asbestos testing for industrial properties in San Jose and across California follow the same legal guidelines as residential and commercial asbestos testing in the state. That is to say, all industrial buildings in California, regardless of when they were built, are required by law to undergo asbestos testing by a certified asbestos consultant before any demolition, renovation, or repair permits will be granted.

Used extensively in the building of residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout the 1900s, asbestos is a group of minerals that separate into a naturally-occurring fibrous material well-known for its inexpensive cost, noise-dampening characteristics, and ability to block  fire, water, steam, air, and smoke-borne particles. Since 1980, however, asbestos has been severely restricted for use around the world due to its direct link with serious and life-threatening health problems including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis which can occur with prolonged or repeated inhalation of microscopic asbestos particles. Today, due to the extreme risk to public health, many asbestos-containing materials are banned from use and there are strict regulations in place regarding buildings in California so that asbestos exposure is greatly minimized. Asbestos is still legal in roofing, ceiling, and flooring materials as well as some modern pipes and hoses and pipe or duct wraps however, so even modern buildings can contain dangerous levels of asbestos. For this reason, testing for asbestos is not only recommended but required by California state law for all residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Asbestos is considered harmless unless or until it's disturbed and can become airborne. For this reason, California law states that any residential, commercial, or industrial property must be tested for asbestos before demolition, renovation, or repairs are undergone so that, if found, the asbestos-containing materials can be removed, repaired, or replaced in a way that traps the airborne asbestos particles before they can enter the body. This asbestos testing must be done by a trained certified asbestos consultant (CAC) like Reed Environmental Services in San Jose, serving all of California state.
