    Asbestos: How it Works

    • An ECG project manager will speak with the client to understand their objectives. We will use this understanding to tailor our service to best meet our client’s needs.
    • We will review any previous asbestos-related reports and building plans as needed.
    • One of our IDPH-licensed asbestos inspectors will conduct the asbestos inspection.
    • As soon as laboratory results are available, we will call the client to provide a verbal summary of the findings. Shortly thereafter, we will send a detailed written report to document the asbestos inspection results.

    • Prevent further disturbances of asbestos materials.
    • Monitor the condition of ACMs in the facility.
