Planned Demolition or Renovation
Before demolishing or renovating a building, a demolition inspection is needed to identify any ACMs present in the structure that may be disturbed during the project.
Property Sale or Transfer
Prior to selling or transferring ownership of a property, a demolition inspection may be required to assess the presence of ACMs and ensure compliance with regulations, as well as to inform potential buyers or tenants of any asbestos hazards.
In the event of property damage due to fire, water, or other disasters, a demolition inspection may be necessary to evaluate the extent of damage and identify any ACMs that may have been exposed or disturbed.
During environmental assessments of buildings or properties, a demolition inspection is often conducted to identify and assess potential asbestos hazards and develop appropriate remediation or abatement plans.
Government agencies may require demolition inspections for ACMs as part of the permitting process for demolition or renovation projects to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and protect public health and safety.
If occupants of a building experience health issues or concerns related to indoor air quality, a demolition inspection may be conducted to assess the presence of ACMs and address any potential asbestos hazards that could be contributing to health problems.
