Asbestos Surveys in Houston & Lead / Mold Testing
Permit-ready asbestos surveys, lead-based paint inspections, and mold assessments across Harris County and the greater Houston area — with a dedicated Houston phone line.
Why Houston projects need a licensed survey first
Houston's building boom of the 1960s through the early 1980s left the region with an enormous stock of office parks, strip retail, warehouses, and garden-style apartments built while asbestos was still standard in flooring, joint compound, roofing, and mechanical insulation. The Houston Permitting Center asks for an asbestos survey with commercial demolition permit applications, and the state requires one before renovation or demolition of any public or commercial building regardless of the permit.
TSEC's Houston-area surveys are written in the TDSHS format the Permitting Center and Harris County both accept, with sample locations, lab results, and quantities laid out so your abatement contractor can bid directly from the report. We answer the Houston line at (832) 982-2757 and can usually get a consultant on site within a few business days.
Asbestos, lead, and mold — one licensed team
Three regulated disciplines, one point of contact, one consistent report format for every property in your Houston portfolio.
Asbestos surveys in Houston
Pre-renovation and pre-demolition surveys, AHERA school inspections, abatement design, and third-party air monitoring — the documentation Houston permit offices and contractors expect.
Asbestos services →Lead-based paint inspections
Houston's pre-1978 neighborhoods — the Heights, Montrose, the East End, Third Ward, and the first-ring suburbs inside Beltway 8 — carry lead-based paint on windows, doors, and siding. Housing authorities, HUD rehabilitation programs, and landlords with older units rely on TSEC for certified inspections, risk assessments, and clearance testing.
Lead services →Mold assessments
Hurricane Harvey, Imelda, and routine bayou flooding have made mold assessment a year-round need in Houston. After water intrusion, TSEC maps the moisture, samples air and surfaces, and writes the remediation protocol — then returns for independent clearance so insurers and buyers have documentation they trust.
Mold services →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.
