Post-fire assessment
After a kitchen fire we needed to know what was in the debris before cleanup crews came in. Same-day visit.

Explained the lab method
The inspector explained PLM analysis and why a point count was not needed on our result. I actually understood the report.

Saved us thousands
A removal outfit told us our ceiling was obviously asbestos. Independent test came back negative. Huge relief.

Poly sheeting, wet sampling, HEPA cleanup. Not a speck of dust anywhere afterward.
