Accurate Testing

All samples and materials collected during testing are sent to an accredited lab for analysis.

How it works:

Depending on the local laws, accreditation for asbestos professionals could vary. In New York we have the New York State Department of Labor regulations relating to the hazards to public safety and health during the removal, encapsulation, enclosure, repair, or the disturbance of friable and non-friable asbestos, or any handling of asbestos material that may result in the release of asbestos fiber, and the New York City D.E.P Asbestos control program regulations that apply to all asbestos abatement activities occurring within the City of New York. This includes owners of buildings where asbestos abatement activity occurs and contractors engaged in asbestos abatement activities

When asbestos is identified, an evaluation report would be written which will include the location, contamination levels and suggestions for corrective actions. Based on what the investigators find, they could recommend the property owner to remove or seal asbestos (encapsulate). When hiring a professional for inspection, it is important that the person is qualified, experienced and can perform the task according to local and federal regulations.

Surveys are conducted by our expert investigators. We will perform a thorough inspection of the building, assess the conditions, collect samples, analyze suspected materials and advise whether remediation or abatement is required. All investigators are certified with over 10 years experience.

The laboratories we use are approved by ELAP. Every sample collected is analyzed quickly and efficiently. All results are submitted to the owner or applicant.

Critical to any activity involving ACM is a system of documentation which will form the basis of a legal defense against claims which may arise 20 to 30 years in the future. IPR Associates and Environmental Inc’s documentation system was rigorously designed with these considerations in mind. We provide you with ACP-5s.
