Asbestos Testing for Banning Lewis Ranch & East Colorado Springs
The "Modern Build" Specialist in East Springs If you are living in Banning Lewis Ranch, Falcon, or Woodmen Hills, you might think your home is "too new" to contain asbestos.

Whether you are finishing a basement in a new build or updating a kitchen in an established Falcon ranch, we provide the state-certified reports your contractor needs to keep the project moving.

FAQ: East Colorado Springs & Falcon
1. Does PPRBD require an asbestos test for a basement finish? Yes. For any residential renovation in El Paso County that disturbs more than 32 square feet of surface area, you must provide a certified asbestos report to obtain your building permit. This includes "new" homes in Banning Lewis Ranch and Falcon.
2. My home was built after 2010. Why do I still need an inspection? While asbestos use is rare in new construction, Colorado law does not recognize a "cutoff date" for testing. Because some imported building materials (like joint compound or floor mastics) can still contain asbestos, the state requires a physical inspection to verify the site is safe before a permit is issued.
3. Do you service the Falcon and Peyton areas? Absolutely. We consider the East Springs Hub a primary service area. We offer fast scheduling for residents in Woodmen Hills, Meridian Ranch, and Paint Brush Hills.
4. How long does the process take? Most inspections in the East Springs area are completed in under an hour. Your digital, lab-certified report is typically delivered within 48 hours—ready to be uploaded directly to the PPRBD permit portal.
5. What if I’m just replacing flooring? If you are removing more than 32 square feet of flooring (vinyl, tile, or linoleum), a test is required. Many flooring retailers in Colorado Springs will actually pause your installation until they see a "negative" asbestos report.
