Asbestos Testing and Surveys in San Diego
XRF Research provides asbestos testing, asbestos bulk sampling, asbestos surveys, clearance testing, project monitoring, and asbestos consulting for residential, commercial, public agency, and construction projects in San Diego and Southern California.

Asbestos questions are scope-dependent. A homeowner worried about one material may need limited bulk sampling, while a demolition permit, tenant improvement, whole-building renovation, insurance matter, abatement project, or commercial property transaction may require a formal survey, clearance, or consultant review. We help define the right level of investigation before work begins.
Common Reasons for Asbestos Testing
- Demolition permit surveys and pre-demolition inspections
- Tenant improvement, renovation, or repair work involving suspect building materials
- Pre-abatement surveys and sampling before removal work
- Limited bulk sampling for specific materials such as flooring, mastics, drywall texture, roofing, pipe insulation, duct wrap, or fireproofing
- Clearance testing or documentation after asbestos abatement or cleanup
- Property due diligence before purchase, lease, construction, or occupancy

How We Approach the Work
Our team reviews the property type, age, project purpose, and affected materials, then develops a sampling or inspection plan. Bulk samples are submitted to accredited laboratories for analysis when laboratory confirmation is needed. Larger or regulated projects may involve a formal written survey, project monitoring, air sampling, visual clearance, or consultant report.
Asbestos-related work in California should be handled by appropriately certified personnel. XRF Research performs asbestos-related work through California-certified asbestos professionals, including CAC and CSST personnel working under CAC direction when required.
