RTP's staff has prepared many inspection reports, O&M plans, and cost estimates for removal of asbestos-containing materials and lead paint. We have conducted these surveys for a large variety of buildings including schools, apartments, industrial facilities, and low-, mid-, and high-rise office buildings.

RTP, as part of its building inspection services, can also undertake lead based paint sampling.  Usually, RTP recommends paint chip sampling and subsequent laboratory analysis.  Alternatively, RTP can arrange non-destructive sampling using field-analyzing monitors.
