Asbestos Testing & Inspectionin Coquitlam, BC
Accredited Asbestos Testing — Know Before You Renovate or Sell
Coquitlam Mold Removal Pros provides certified asbestos testing & inspection in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Bulk material sampling and accredited laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of asbestos in your home or building. Testing scheduled promptly — lab results within 3–5 business days. We follow IICRC S520 standards, provide third-party post-clearance testing, and bill all major BC insurers directly — including Intact, Aviva, and Wawanesa.
Before any renovation, demolition, or sale of a pre-1990 BC home, a professional asbestos survey is the responsible — and often legally required — first step. Coquitlam Mold Removal Pros collects bulk material samples from suspect areas and submits them to an accredited laboratory for polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis.
We survey all common asbestos-containing material locations: textured ceilings, vinyl floor tiles and backing, drywall compound, pipe insulation, duct insulation, vermiculite attic insulation, and exterior stucco or siding. Results are returned with a clear written report identifying which materials contain asbestos, the type and concentration, and recommended management or abatement actions.
Our testing service is the logical starting point before any renovation project in an older home — and a requirement under WorkSafeBC Part 6 before demolition work begins.
