Four tests, one independent lab chain

Asbestos testingFrom $425 · lab analysis includedAsbestos testing means a trained sampler wets and cuts a small piece of the suspect material under containment, seals it under chain of custody, and an accredited laboratory reports the asbestos percentage and fibre type in writing.Mold testingFrom $395 · lab analysis includedMold testing measures what is actually airborne and on surfaces: a sampler pulls a calibrated spore-trap air cassette indoors and one outdoors as a control, adds tape-lift samples from suspect growth, and the laboratory reports spore counts by genus so elevated indoor levels can be proven or ruled out.Lead paint testingFrom $425 · lab analysis includedLead paint testing takes paint-chip samples from each painted component and dust wipes from floors and window troughs, and the accredited laboratory reports lead by weight in the paint and in µg/ft² for dust so the result can be compared with the EPA clearance levels.Indoor air quality testingFrom $445 · lab analysis includedIndoor air quality testing logs calibrated CO₂, carbon monoxide, PM2.5, PM10, temperature and humidity readings room by room and sends VOC and formaldehyde samples to an accredited laboratory, so a complaint about stuffy, smoky or chemical-smelling air becomes a numbered baseline.

Independence

A company should not test the material it hopes to remove.

We collect and test material. ClearGuard does not sell removal work, keeping the finding independent. An abatement crew offering a "free inspection" is running a sales call with a lab form attached. We only sell the test, so a clean result and a positive result pay us exactly the same.

  • No removal bids, no upsell, no referral kickback
  • Every sample goes to an independent, accredited laboratory
  • You get material names and percentages, not a vague pass or fail
  • If a result is positive, we point you to licensed local abatement crews and exit the job
