Certified Environmental Testing for Your Safety

Before any renovation, restoration, or demolition work in Las Vegas properties—especially multi-dwelling buildings—environmental testing is often legally required and always recommended. Rockstar Restoration LV provides certified asbestos, lead paint, and indoor air quality testing to ensure your property is safe for occupants and workers.

Our certified inspectors collect samples following strict EPA and OSHA protocols, send them to accredited laboratories, and provide detailed reports with recommendations. With 30 years of combined experience, we understand Nevada regulations and work with contractors, property managers, and homeowners to ensure compliance and safety.

⚠️ NEVADA LAW REQUIREMENT ⚠️

Asbestos testing is MANDATORY in Nevada for multi-dwelling buildings (apartments, condos, townhomes) built before 1981 prior to any renovation or demolition work.

Failure to test can result in project shutdowns, fines, and legal liability. We provide fast, certified testing to keep your project on schedule and compliant.

Our Environmental Testing Services

Asbestos Testing

Required for pre-1981 multi-dwelling buildings in Nevada. We test drywall, popcorn ceilings, floor tiles, mastic, pipe insulation, and other suspect materials. Lab results typically within 24-48 hours.

Lead Paint Testing

Required for pre-1978 properties with children or pregnant women, or before renovation. We conduct XRF testing (instant results) or lab analysis. Essential for safe renovation planning.

Mold Testing

Air sampling and surface sampling to identify mold species and spore counts. Used for insurance claims, health concerns, or post-remediation clearance verification.

Indoor Air Quality Testing

Comprehensive testing for VOCs, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, particulates, and other airborne contaminants. Essential after restoration or when occupants experience symptoms.

Post-Remediation Verification

Clearance testing after asbestos abatement or mold remediation to verify work was completed successfully and the area is safe for reoccupancy.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Environmental testing before buying or selling property. Identifies potential hazards, protects buyers, and helps sellers address issues before listing.

Asbestos Testing in Nevada: What You Need to Know

Asbestos was widely used in construction materials until the 1980s. When disturbed, asbestos fibers become airborne and cause serious lung diseases including mesothelioma and asbestosis.

When Asbestos Testing is Required

All multi-dwelling buildings built before 1981 (Nevada law)
Before any demolition or renovation work
Before removing popcorn ceilings, floor tiles, or pipe insulation
After water damage affecting older materials
When purchasing pre-1981 properties
Before fire or water damage restoration in older buildings

Common Asbestos-Containing Materials

Popcorn ceilings (texture spray)
9x9" and 12x12" vinyl floor tiles
Black mastic adhesive under flooring
Drywall joint compound (pre-1980)
Pipe and duct insulation
HVAC duct wrap and tape
Window caulking and glazing
Roofing materials and flashing

Our Asbestos Testing Process

1

Site Inspection & Sample Collection

Our certified inspector visits your property, identifies all suspect materials, and collects samples following EPA protocols. We minimize disturbance and contain the work area.

2

Laboratory Analysis

Samples are sent to an accredited laboratory for PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy) analysis. Lab results typically returned within 24-48 hours.

3

Detailed Report & Recommendations

You receive a comprehensive report with lab results, material locations, asbestos percentages, and recommendations for safe handling or abatement. Required for permits and contractor work.

4

Abatement Coordination (If Needed)

If asbestos is found, we coordinate with licensed abatement contractors and provide post-abatement clearance testing to verify safe removal.

Lead Paint Testing & RRP Compliance

Lead-based paint was banned in 1978, but remains in millions of older homes. Lead exposure causes serious health problems, especially in children under 6 and pregnant women.

When Lead Testing is Required

All residential properties built before 1978
Before renovation, repair, or painting (RRP Rule)
Homes with children under 6 or pregnant women
Pre-purchase inspections on older properties
After discovering peeling or chipping paint
Before demolition of pre-1978 structures

Our Lead Testing Methods

XRF Testing (X-Ray Fluorescence): Instant results, non-destructive, tests painted surfaces in place. Best for quick screening and RRP compliance.

Lab Analysis: Paint chip samples sent to certified lab for precise lead content measurement. Required for some insurance and legal purposes.

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)

Testing for chemicals from paints, adhesives, cleaning products, and building materials. High VOC levels cause headaches, dizziness, and respiratory issues.

Formaldehyde

Common in pressed wood products, insulation, and fabrics. Causes eye, nose, and throat irritation. We test ambient air levels and provide mitigation recommendations.

Particulate Matter

Testing for PM2.5 and PM10 particles from dust, combustion, and outdoor pollution. High levels worsen asthma and cardiovascular conditions.

Carbon Monoxide & CO2

Testing for combustion gases from furnaces, water heaters, and appliances. Essential for occupant safety and HVAC system evaluation.

Humidity & Temperature

Monitoring indoor conditions that affect comfort, mold growth risk, and building material deterioration. Identifies HVAC problems and ventilation issues.

Biological Contaminants

Air sampling for mold spores, bacteria, and allergens. Identifies hidden contamination and verifies remediation effectiveness.

Environmental Testing FAQs

How long does environmental testing take?

Sample collection typically takes 1-2 hours depending on property size. Lab results for asbestos and lead usually return within 24-48 hours. Air quality testing may require 24-48 hour monitoring before lab analysis.

How much does asbestos testing cost?

Cost depends on the number of samples needed and property size. Residential testing typically ranges from $300-$800. Multi-dwelling buildings with multiple units cost more. We provide free quotes based on your specific needs.

Is asbestos testing really required in Nevada?

Yes. Nevada law requires asbestos testing for ALL multi-dwelling buildings (apartments, condos, townhomes) built before 1981 prior to renovation or demolition. Single-family homes are not legally required but strongly recommended for safety.

Can I remove asbestos or lead paint myself?

Asbestos abatement requires licensed contractors—DIY removal is illegal and extremely dangerous. Small amounts of lead paint can sometimes be removed by trained homeowners following EPA RRP guidelines, but we recommend professional removal for safety.

What happens if asbestos or lead is found?

We provide a detailed report with recommendations. Options include: professional abatement (removal), encapsulation (sealing in place), or enclosure (covering). We coordinate with licensed abatement contractors and provide post-abatement clearance testing.

Do you provide same-day results?

For XRF lead testing, yes—results are instant. For asbestos and mold testing, samples must go to an accredited lab. Standard turnaround is 24-48 hours. Rush testing is available for urgent projects (additional fee applies).

Is environmental testing required for insurance claims?

Often yes, especially for mold claims or when hazardous materials may be disturbed during restoration. Testing provides documentation, establishes baselines, and verifies successful remediation—all important for claims approval.
