What is asbestos, and why is it used in construction?
Asbestos has been used for many years by construction companies because it is highly fire-resistant. Manufacturers believed they were protecting buildings by using it in insulation, tile flooring, popcorn ceilings, and sheetrock.
Unfortunately, asbestos was eventually discovered to have adverse health effects, some of which are life threatening, including cancer. The substance is easy to ingest without knowledge as it is 80 times smaller than a human hair.
In 1978, asbestos was banned from use in commercial buildings. However, many buildings still contain this fiber, especially those built before the 1980s.
ERI Consulting can provide asbestos surveys in Houston for commercial and residential buildings.
If you are planning a renovation or simply have health concerns about your property, please contact us for asbestos testing and asbestos abatement in Houston.

Why you may need an asbestos inspection
Your building was built before 1980
The use of asbestos in construction was banned in 1978. But buildings constructed before that may still contain the dangerous fiber.
You’re planning a renovation project
Asbestos inspections are required for all commercial buildings in Texas in order to acquire a building permit, even if your building is newer than 1980.
You want to protect your building occupants
Asbestos can be deadly if breathed in. Out of concern for employees and customers, many businesses preemptively schedule an inspection.

Our licensed asbestos inspectors strictly follow EPA, OSHA, and TDSHS regulations to ensure your building is up to code.
