What is Asbestos Testing in Charleston?

What is Asbestos Testing in Charleston?

For Charleston homeowners and property investors, asbestos inspection is the critical first step before any renovation project. With the city's architectural legacy spanning centuries, from antebellum mansions to mid-century ranch homes, countless properties contain building materials manufactured during the peak asbestos era. Professional inspection identifies these hidden hazards before demolition begins. The Mold Girl's Charleston inspection protocol starts with a comprehensive walkthrough to catalog all suspect materials based on construction era and visual characteristics. We then extract small samples using controlled wet methods that prevent fiber release, sending them to accredited laboratories for polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis that pinpoints exact fiber types and concentrations. Because we're an independent inspection company, not an abatement contractor, Charleston property owners receive completely objective results without any upselling pressure. When asbestos is confirmed, we explain your options clearly and can connect you with licensed removal specialists who meet South Carolina's regulatory requirements.
