Count on us for accurate and thorough asbestos inspections in the Lexington region.
Prior to the 1980s, asbestos was commonly found in a variety of building materials, ranging from vinyl floor tiles and popcorn ceilings to hot water pipes and insulation. Residential and commercial buildings alike were built and furnished with asbestos until it was discovered that airborne asbestos fibers can pose serious health risks. Today, if you live in an older home or work in a building that was built before the ‘80s, there may still be asbestos within the structure.
Fortunately, if you’re in the Lexington, North Carolina area, you can learn about the condition of your property with a thorough asbestos inspection from our team at KTF Contractor Services, LLC.

FAQs About Asbestos Inspection
If your property was built before the 1980s, there’s a good chance asbestos-containing materials may still be present in areas like flooring, ceiling tiles, insulation, or pipe wrap. While undisturbed asbestos may not pose an immediate risk, any renovation, repair, or damage could release harmful fibers into the air. That’s why an asbestos inspection is a critical first step in protecting the health of your family, tenants, or staff. Below are common questions we receive about asbestos inspections and what to expect during the process.

How do I know if I need an asbestos inspection?
If your home or building was constructed before asbestos was phased out of building materials (typically before the 1980s), an inspection is highly recommended. This is especially important if you’re planning renovations, demolitions, or repairs that might disturb older materials. Even if you’re not planning changes, an inspection can give you peace of mind and a clearer understanding of your property’s safety.
What happens during an asbestos inspection?
Our certified team begins by visually inspecting your property for materials that are known to contain asbestos. We then collect samples from suspect materials, such as ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, or vinyl flooring, and send them to an accredited lab for analysis. Every step of the process follows state and federal safety protocols to prevent fiber release, including the use of containment measures and proper personal protective equipment. You’ll receive a detailed report outlining any confirmed asbestos and our recommendations for next steps.
Is asbestos inspection safe for my family or staff?
Yes. We take all necessary precautions to ensure the inspection is conducted safely and cleanly. Our team utilizes professional tools, sealed containment methods, and specialized safety procedures to prevent the spread of fibers. You won’t need to vacate the property, and you can trust that your health and safety are always our top priority.
