Just like meth or mold, the state does not regulate. Just finding the training can be difficult. If anybody find s a good class, just let me know. I have been getting a few calls on this.

Here you go:

Put sample in ziplock baggy.
Mail baggy to lab with form and fee.
Open envelope with report when it arrives and read it.

That’ll be $50;-)

No, I do not perform meth or asbestos testing. The meth, I refer to Mark.

But we need home inspection regulations.

I used to be an EPA and State of Colorado Certified Asbestos Building Inspector. I also used to do asbestos inspections in a past life when I worked as an Environmental Geologist. The first step to be able to perform asbestos inspections is to become an EPA certified asbestos building inspector, which involves completing a 3 day class and passing the exam. All states require you to be an EPA certified asbestos building inspector. Each year you will need to take a 4 hr refresher course to maintain the EPA certification. Each state then has it’s own requirements to perform asbestos building inspections. In Colorado, you need to have a State License which requires you to pass an exam annually as well as be a registered consulting company (for yet another fee paid annually). Of course, there is also finding a quality lab and insurance fees.

I hope this helps. I wish you luck.

Thanks
