Asbestos and Mold
Do not disturb suspected asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Common ACMs include popcorn ceilings, floor tiles, pipe insulation, and vermiculite insulation.
If you suspect asbestos, note it in the report and recommend testing by a certified asbestos professional. Never collect asbestos samples.
When visible mold is present, document it with photos and recommend a mold inspection and testing by a qualified professional.
Wear a respirator (N95 minimum) when near suspected mold or asbestos-containing materials.
Inform the client and agent immediately if significant mold growth or suspected asbestos is discovered.
Your safety is our priority — taking these steps can prevent dangerous situations during your inspections.
