The Northern Colorado Standard for Unbiased Asbestos Inspections
The "Any Age" Rule Compliance: In Fort Collins, as across Colorado, the law requires an inspection for buildings of any age—even new construction—before disturbing materials that exceed "trigger levels." We ensure you are fully compliant with both City of Fort Collins ordinances and CDPHE Regulation 8.
A "Testing-Only" Guarantee: Unlike "all-in-one" companies, we don't perform abatement or removal. Our 100% conflict-free model means we have no financial incentive to find asbestos. You get an honest, independent assessment every time.
Sustainability & Landfill Compliance: Fort Collins has strict waste management goals. Our detailed reports ensure that non-asbestos materials (like metals, concrete, and masonry) can be safely diverted for recycling, while ensuring hazardous waste is properly identified for the Larimer County Landfill.
Old Town & Historic Expertise: From the historic lath and plaster of Old Town to the mid-century popcorn ceilings of City Park, we have 14+ years of experience identifying the specific asbestos-containing materials common in Northern Colorado’s unique architecture.

Fort Collins Asbestos Testing: Your Questions Answered
Q: Does the City of Fort Collins require an asbestos test for all renovations? A: If your project disturbs more than the state-mandated "trigger levels" (32 sq. ft. of surfacing material, 50 linear feet of pipe insulation, or a 55-gallon drum of waste), a certified inspection is required. This applies to residential and commercial properties within Fort Collins and Larimer County to ensure safety and permit compliance.
Q: Does the "Any Age" rule apply to newer homes in Fort Collins? A: Yes. A common misconception is that homes built after 1980 are exempt. However, the City of Fort Collins and the CDPHE require an inspection for buildings of any age before renovation or demolition. Asbestos can still be found in modern materials like floor tiles, roofing, and mastics imported from overseas.
Q: What is a "Demolition Inspection Permit" and do I need one? A: In Larimer County, if you are demolishing a structure or moving a building, you must obtain a Demolition Inspection Permit from the State Health Department. Even if you believe your structure contains no asbestos, the law requires a certified inspector to verify this before a local building permit can be issued.
Q: I’m renovating an Old Town home. Where is asbestos usually found? A: Historic Fort Collins homes often contain asbestos in unique places, such as lath and plaster, window glazing, white "paper" wrap on heater ducts, and old vinyl "linoleum" flooring. Our inspectors are specialists in identifying these materials while respecting the architectural integrity of historic properties.
Q: How do I submit my report to the Fort Collins Building Department? A: Once we complete your inspection, we provide a Permit-Ready PDF report. You can upload this directly to the Fort Collins Citizen Portal along with your building permit application. Our reports include the state-certified inspector’s signature and lab results required for immediate approval.
