Bay Area Asbestos Testing — Certified Sampling Across Nine Counties
From Edwardian flats in San Francisco to shipyard-era housing in Richmond and Vallejo, Bay Area building stock is old, dense and tightly regulated.

Local building stock
What we sample in the San Francisco Bay Area
Pre-1940 Victorian and Edwardian plaster, post-war East Bay tract housing, sprayed texture in 1960s and 1970s apartment stock, and transite siding across the North Bay.
Work here is read against the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and Cal/OSHA, so the report is written in the format those desks expect.
Plaster, lath and joint compound
Opened on nearly every pre-war San Francisco and Oakland remodel.
Transite siding and roofing
Widespread across North Bay and Peninsula housing.
Sheet vinyl and black mastic
Under kitchen and bath floors in post-war East Bay tracts.
Boiler and pipe insulation
Standard in multi-unit buildings and converted commercial space.

Tile and mastic tested separately
Both layers were sampled and reported on their own lines, which is what our flooring installer needed before pulling anything up.

Next-day results, exactly as quoted
No rush-fee games. The number they said on the phone is what I paid, minus the coupon.

My go-to as a property manager
I run fourteen units. They knocked out four inspections in a morning and sent one consolidated report package.

Old siding question finally answered
1954 cement board siding with years of patchwork. They sampled several areas so we knew which sections were clean.

Discreet and quick
Under an hour, no mess, and the report was easy to forward to the buyer's agent.

Solid experience
Text updates were genuinely useful. The report showed up a few hours ahead of schedule.

Bay Area questions before booking
- Is a BAAQMD testing required before renovation?
- BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2 requires a certified testing before most renovation and demolition, and the J-number notification is filed with that report attached.
- Which Bay Area cities get same-day windows?
- San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, San Mateo and San Rafael are on daily routes. South Bay, Solano and Sonoma addresses are usually next morning.
- Can you sample a tenanted apartment building?
- Yes. Sampling is wet-method and contained, each point is photographed and patched, and we work around notice periods for occupied units.
