Testing without a cleanup sale

The laboratory finding is the product.

A trained sampler documents the location, collects only what the laboratory needs and maintains chain of custody. ClearGuard never sells asbestos removal or mold remediation, so there is no cleanup estimate attached to the finding.

    Bathroom remodel cleared

    Old sheet vinyl and backer board both sampled. The report cited the exact layers so the tile crew knew what to do.

What to know before booking a test

How much does environmental testing cost?

Asbestos testing starts at $475 before the $50 CLEAR50 coupon, mold testing at $395, lead paint testing at $425, and indoor air quality testing at $445. The sampling visit and laboratory analysis are included; optional 4–8 hour expedited handling adds exactly $99.

Which environmental test do I need?

Choose asbestos testing before disturbing older ceiling, flooring, wall or insulation materials; mold testing after water damage, musty odor or visible growth; lead paint testing for coatings in pre-1978 properties; and indoor air quality testing for ventilation, particles, VOC or formaldehyde concerns.

How quickly can I get results?

Collection is commonly available the same day or next day. Standard asbestos laboratory results are available within 24 hours, mold and lead results within 24–48 hours, and indoor air quality laboratory results within 24–72 hours.

Does ClearGuard perform removal or remediation?
