Our Asbestos Testing Services in Panama City Beach
There are many reasons that indoor air quality turns bad. Everything from built-up air ducts, mold growth, dust mites, smoking, pollen, and a little something called asbestos. There are even buildings and homes that still have asbestos in them. You want to know that all the air you breathe indoors is clean and pure. If you suspect a problem, call upon the Panama City Beach asbestos testing service at D’Pure.
Why Do I Need Asbestos Testing in Panama City Beach?
Asbestos is no longer used in the construction of homes and buildings. However, if your property was built decades ago, there is a chance that asbestos was used in its construction. At D’Pure, our testing experts will perform asbestos testing and asbestos inspection services in the Panama City Beach area.
For homes or buildings that were built many years ago, asbestos could still be hiding in the insulation, ceiling and roof tiles, textured paint, or in the flooring. It is not until you have a thorough inspection of your property that you will know if it exists or not. Exposure to asbestos can cause serious illnesses such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and other cancers.
Unfortunately, many people lose their lives every year from asbestos exposure in the USA. Asbestos was in thousands of products before 1970s regulations. It is a very real problem that can lead to very real diseases. Our Panama City Beach asbestos testing company can help you find the answers to your asbestos-related questions.
Both OSHA and the EPA have guidelines that require asbestos inspections. The EPA mandates that you must complete an asbestos inspection before any demolition or remodel of an educational, commercial, or multi-unit residential building. There are specific guidelines to follow when it comes to asbestos and failure to do so can result in penalties and other fines.
Why Call D'Pure?

Lead Paint Testing in Panama City Beach
Just like asbestos, lead paint is also an issue that might need to be addressed. Lead can be found in dust, soil, paint, and other places in and around homes or businesses, especially those built before 1978. Lead paint can be especially harmful to young children. Exposure to lead paint can lead to learning disabilities, hearing loss, and other problems.
Our Panama City Beach lead test experts are here for you. If you are planning to remodel, and your home was built prior to 1978, you will want to know if there is lead paint as you tear down and build anew. Lead is not only found in homes either. There are other ways that lead can become a health hazard.
Common areas include:
- Painted toys/furniture (especially if old)
- Interior and exterior paint
- Pottery, glasses, and dishware (family heirlooms)
- Drinking water from pipes that have corroded over time
- Soil around your home, especially if structures have deteriorated
One of the ways that D’Pure determines whether or not there is lead paint in a home or business is by performing the leading coefficient test. Common renovations, such as cutting, sanding, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust as well as chips when lead-based paint is disturbed.
Why Test for Lead?
Lead can be a serious health hazard. Therefore, it is important to have your home or business tested by a licensed professional lead testing company to determine if you have any exposure. Depending on how bad the exposure is, lead can cause serious damage to the nervous system, which includes digestive problems, high blood pressure, headaches, or muscle and joint disorders.
A Panama City Beach lead paint test will determine if exposure is a risk. Two methods of lead testing include:
- Paint Inspection: Lead on painted surfaces is determined
- Risk Assessment: Identifies sources of lead exposure and specifies which actions to take
