Comprehensive Hazardous Materials Surveys

• Homeowners: "I'm renovating my bathroom/kitchen and my contractor says I need a test."
  In BC, a 'Hazardous Materials Survey' is required by law before any renovation or demolition begins on a pre-1990 structure. Our team identifies 'Suspect Materials'—including drywall mud, floor tiles, stucco, and lath and plaster—ensuring you have the legal documentation required for municipal permits.
• Buyers & Sellers: "I'm buying an older home and want to know if the insulation is dangerous."
  Vermiculite is a specific type of insulation that often contains Amphibole asbestos. If you have 'pebbly' insulation in your attic, do not disturb it. We provide specialized sampling to determine if it is asbestos-containing, helping you decide on the next steps for safe removal.
• Contractors: "I need an N.O.P. (Notice of Project) filing and a professional survey to start demolition."
  We understand the urgency of WorkSafeBC Notice of Project (NOP) filings. We provide the professional survey reports you need to submit your NOP without delay, ensuring your crew stays working and your site remains compliant.

Vermiculite insulation

Compass Environmental is an independent testing firm. We do not perform asbestos removal, which means our reports are 100% unbiased. We have no financial interest in finding hazards—our only goal is your safety.
