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
FAQ
Pricing questions
How does the instant price check work?
You pick the test, the property type, how many materials or rooms need sampling and how fast you need the result. The tool prices that scope from our published rate card and shows the band dispatch will confirm.
Is the estimate the final price?
It is the band we work inside. Dispatch confirms the exact figure before a sampler is sent, and nothing is charged before you approve it.
What makes the price go up?
More samples, more units in a building, commercial access requirements, and the optional 4–8 hour expedited handling, which adds $99 where the laboratory has capacity.
Are laboratory fees extra?
No. Every published starting price already includes accredited laboratory analysis and the written result.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. Quotes are free, and because we never bid removal or remediation work there is nothing for us to upsell after the result.
