Tory was a recommendation from our real estate agent - and what a great contact to have. Tory and Kenyatta came out the next day after being contacted, luckily for us because he had a cancellation and a chance opening. We (my partner and I) are first-time home buyers and have basically no idea what we are doing. Tory showed us around and explained everything in a detailed and easy to understand manner. He was extremely friendly, informative, and thorough. What sets this company apart from many others is that they don't charge for a re-inspection and they came as a duo - so you just have the one upfront charge and the inspection was reasonably quick. Tory took us through not just all of what they were evaluating, but through some information regarding basic home maintenance. He maintains his relationships with his clients and made us feel very comfortable about reaching out in the future with questions. We feel lucky that we had this inspector and can't recommend them more!

Asbestos Testing FAQ
Common questions about asbestos testing in DMV.
Yes, testing before any renovation is strongly recommended for Northern Virginia homes built before 1980. Disturbing materials like flooring, insulation, or drywall without knowing their asbestos content can release fibers into the air.
Asbestos is most often found in pipe insulation, vinyl floor tiles, attic insulation, duct wrap, popcorn ceilings, and drywall joint compound in older Northern Virginia homes. Insulation has historically been one of the most common sources in this region.
No, you cannot identify asbestos by sight alone. The only reliable way to confirm asbestos is through professional sample collection and accredited lab testing.
Testing is not legally required to sell, but known asbestos issues must be disclosed to buyers in Virginia. Having a certified test report on hand gives buyers confidence and can prevent delays during the transaction.
You receive a written report identifying which sampled materials contain asbestos and describing their current condition. The report outlines recommended next steps so you can decide how to address any findings in your Northern Virginia property.
Asbestos that is intact and undisturbed does not pose an immediate risk. It becomes hazardous when materials are damaged, crumbling, or disturbed during repairs or renovations, which releases fibers into the air.
