Frequently Asked Questions About Hazardous Material Assessments
Why conduct a hazardous material assessment before starting my project?
Conducting a hazardous material assessment early is essential for property owners to avoid costly delays, ensure regulatory compliance, and safeguard human health. By identifying potential hazards before they disrupt your project, you can plan with confidence—keeping timelines intact and staying within budget.
What materials are covered in the assessment?
Assessments focus on identifying regulated materials that pose risks, including mercury, asbestos-containing materials, lead paint, lead-based paint, PCBs, and other hazardous building materials. Each project is tailored to the specific risks of your site to ensure no potential hazard is overlooked.
Do I need both Phase 1 and Phase 2 assessments?
Not necessarily. The need for a Phase 2 assessment depends on the results of the Phase 1 survey. If Phase 1 identifies potential risks requiring further investigation, we recommend Phase 2. Our process is designed to be flexible, so you’re only investing in what’s necessary for your project’s safety and success.
How do you make sure nothing is missed?
We use state-of-the-art detection technology, like the Ohio Lumex for mercury and XRF for lead and asbestos.
