Asbestos Testing
Asbestos Testing Services
Note: Our work is limited to commercial projects in Southern California only. We do not take residential and out-of-state projects.
Ellis is southern California's leader in asbestos-related testing and management services. For all of your commercial renovation or demolition projects, Ellis will safely and efficiently satisfy all AHERA and SCAQMD requirements related to observed or disturbed asbestos, lead, and other identified hazardous materials.
In California, activities that identify, disturb or remove asbestos are regulated under 40 CFR Part 763 (AHERA), Cal-OSHA Section 1529, and the Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Rule 1403. Ellis maintains a staff of Cal-OSHA certified asbestos consultants (CAC) and certified site surveillance technicians (CSST) to first test for hazardous materials, then safely manage their removal.

Need a COST ESTIMATE or a quick ANSWER to a question?
The process of working with us is simple:
TEST: Ellis provides asbestos testing, analysis, and reporting required as the first step in any renovation project.
PROCURE QUOTES: If abatement is required, we can create a clear and simple work plan to show to bidding contractors. When the scope of work is clear, bids are lowered. In fact, the cost savings we can realize for you in this step typically pays our fee.
ADMINISTER THE ABATEMENT PROJECT: After bids are received, we act as your advocate to manage the process on a daily basis. This includes pre-and post-abatement inspections, monitoring of adjacent areas during the work, final inspection, and clearance sampling. Our final clearance notice, signed by a California-certified asbestos consultant, is the legal document that you and your general contractor need to continue your project.
Ellis Environmental is your best choice to avoid costly delays due to noncompliance.
