Why DFW projects need a licensed survey first

The Metroplex has one of the largest inventories of 1960s–1980s commercial, retail, and multifamily buildings in the country, and it is being redeveloped block by block. Most of that stock predates the asbestos bans, so floor tile, mastic, drywall joint compound, ceiling texture, and pipe insulation routinely test positive. Under the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rules, a licensed survey is required before renovation or demolition of a public or commercial building anywhere in Texas — and DFW permitting offices expect to see it.

Because Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, and the surrounding cities each run their own permit desk, contractors working across the Metroplex deal with a dozen different submittal checklists. TSEC's reports follow the TDSHS format every one of them accepts, so one survey works for the permit, the abatement bid, and the general contractor's file.

TSEC is an independent consultant — we don't perform abatement or remediation, so our findings in DFW are never shaped by a construction contract.
Services in Dallas–Fort Worth

Asbestos, lead, and mold — one licensed team

Three regulated disciplines, one point of contact, one consistent report format for every property in your DFW portfolio.

Lead-based paint inspections

DFW's older neighborhoods — Oak Cliff, East Dallas, the Near Southside in Fort Worth, and the first-ring suburbs — are full of pre-1978 housing. Landlords, housing authorities, and HUD-funded rehab programs across Dallas and Tarrant counties need certified lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments before work begins.

Lead services →

Mold assessments

North Texas storms and slab-foundation plumbing leaks are the usual sources of mold complaints in DFW apartments and offices. TSEC provides the independent assessment, written remediation protocol, and post-remediation clearance that Texas rules require to be separate from the remediation contractor.

How it works

From first call to final report

A clear, predictable process — so you know what happens next, what it costs, and when you'll have the documentation you need.

01

Call or request a quote

Tell us the property, the timeline, and what triggered the need — a permit, a purchase, a complaint. We respond with scope and pricing, usually the same business day.

02

Site inspection & sampling

A licensed consultant walks the property, documents conditions, and collects samples following state and federal protocols.

03

Accredited lab analysis

Samples go to an accredited laboratory. Standard turnaround is a few business days; rush analysis is available when a schedule demands it.

04

Report & next steps

You receive a clear, regulator-ready report with findings, photos, lab data, and recommendations — plus a consultant who will walk you through it.

Do I need an asbestos survey to get a demolition or renovation permit in Dallas or Fort Worth?
For commercial and public buildings, yes — Texas requires a licensed asbestos survey before renovation or demolition, and permit offices across the Metroplex ask for it (or for the TDSHS notification that depends on it). Single-family homes and small residential buildings are generally exempt from the state requirement, though lenders, school districts, and contractors often require testing anyway. Tell us the address and project type and we'll confirm what your city needs.
How quickly can TSEC be on site in the Metroplex?
We schedule DFW inspections within a few business days of your call, and we'll group multiple properties into one trip for portfolio owners and contractors. Rush scheduling is available when a permit or closing date is fixed.
Which DFW cities do you cover?
All of them — Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Garland, Frisco, McKinney, Denton, Grand Prairie, Mesquite, Richardson, and every suburb in between. If it's in the Metroplex, we cover it.
