Certified Asbestos Testing & Inspections in Aurora, CO
From the historic ranch homes in Hampden South to the commercial developments near the Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora’s growth over the decades means a wide variety of building materials are in use. Many homes built during Aurora's expansion in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s contain asbestos in popcorn ceilings, floor tiles, and HVAC ducting. At Colorado Asbestos Inspections, we provide Aurora homeowners and contractors with the fast, lab-certified results needed to stay safe and keep projects on schedule.
Why Aurora Homeowners Trust Colorado Asbestos Inspections, LLC.
Dual-County Compliance (Arapahoe & Adams): Aurora is unique because it sits in two counties. We understand the specific permitting nuances for both the Arapahoe and Adams County portions of the city, ensuring your City of Aurora building permit application isn't delayed by paperwork errors.
Specialists in "Expansion-Era" Homes: Much of Aurora was developed in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s—the peak era for asbestos use in popcorn ceilings, 9x9 floor tiles, and duct insulation. We have extensive experience identifying these specific materials in neighborhoods like Hampden South, Seven Hills, and Hoffman Heights.
Unbiased, Testing-Only Service: Unlike many companies in the Denver metro area, Colorado Asbestos Inspections, LLC does not perform abatement (removal). This means our Aurora clients get a 100% honest, third-party assessment. We have no "upsell" motive; our only goal is to provide accurate data so you know exactly what you're dealing with.
Fast Response for the E-470 & I-225 Corridors: We know that renovation delays cost money. Whether you’re near the Anschutz Medical Campus or out in Southeast Aurora near Southlands, we offer rapid scheduling and can often provide lab-certified results within 24–48 hours.
Strict Adherence to CDPHE Regulation 8: We ensure all inspections meet the "trigger levels" required by Colorado state law (32 sq. ft. for residential). Our reports are permit-ready and legally defensible, protecting you from the heavy fines associated with improper asbestos disturbance.

Aurora Asbestos Testing: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is an asbestos inspection required for a building permit in Aurora? A: Yes. The City of Aurora Building Department requires a state-certified asbestos report for most renovation and all demolition permits. Whether your project is in Arapahoe County or Adams County, Colorado Asbestos Inspections, LLC provides the specific "Regulation 8" documentation needed to satisfy both city and state (CDPHE) requirements.
Q: I live in a newer neighborhood in Southeast Aurora. Do I still need to test? A: Yes. A common misconception is that homes built after 1990 are exempt. However, Colorado law has no "cutoff date" for testing. Asbestos is still found today in modern, imported materials like drywall joint compound and floor tiles. To stay compliant with CDPHE Regulation 8, an inspection is required regardless of the building's age if you are disturbing more than 32 square feet of material.
Q: What are the "trigger levels" for asbestos in Aurora residential projects? A: In Colorado, the "trigger levels" for a single-family home are 32 square feet, 50 linear feet, or the volume of a 55-gallon drum. If your renovation (such as removing a popcorn ceiling or old kitchen flooring) exceeds these limits, you must have a certified inspection performed by a licensed firm like ours before work begins.
Q: How does Colorado Asbestos Inspections, LLC handle the two different counties in Aurora? A: Aurora is unique because it spans multiple jurisdictions. Our inspectors are familiar with the specific reporting formats required for projects in both Adams and Arapahoe Counties. We ensure your report is filed correctly so your permit process isn't delayed by jurisdictional confusion.
Q: Why should I choose a "testing-only" company? A: Because Colorado Asbestos Inspections, LLC does not perform abatement (removal), we have no financial incentive to find asbestos. Our reports are 100% unbiased. This "no conflict of interest" approach saves our Aurora clients money by ensuring they only pay for removal when it is actually necessary.
Q: How quickly can you get to my property in Aurora? A: We frequently service the I-225 and E-470 corridors. We can typically get a certified inspector to your Aurora home or job site within 24-48 hours (Monday-Friday), with lab-certified results available in as little as one business day for urgent projects.
