Hazardous Materials Testing

Before you start any renovation or demolition project, WorkSafeBC requires a Hazardous Materials Survey to identify and document potential risks. This ensures the safety of workers, occupants, and the environment.

At Northern Storm Environmental Inc., our certified assessors conduct comprehensive testing for asbestos, lead, and mold — providing data you can trust before you begin any work.

What We Test For:

• Asbestos – Found in drywall compound, insulation, vinyl flooring, siding, ceiling tiles and many other materials.
• Lead – Common in older paints, pipes, and coatings.
• Mold – Hidden in cavities, crawl spaces, and HVAC systems.

Our Testing Process:

1. Site Inspection – A certified assessor surveys all building materials for potential hazards.
2. Sampling & Analysis – Samples are sent to accredited labs for asbestos, lead, or mold confirmation.
3. Results & Reporting – You receive a complete Hazardous Materials Survey Report, including lab results, locations, and recommendations.
4. Guidance & Next Steps – If hazards are found, we provide clear abatement and management options.

Why It’s Important:

Hazardous materials testing isn’t just about compliance — it’s about protecting health and preventing contamination. Our process ensures you have scientifically verified data to make informed decisions, minimize risks, and meet all regulatory requirements.

Testing first saves time, money, and lives.
