If you’re planning to replace flooring in your home—especially with the help of a big-box retailer like Home Depot—it’s important to understand Colorado’s asbestos regulations. State law requires asbestos testing before any materials are removed, regardless of the home’s age.
At L&K Environmental, we specialize in fast, certified asbestos inspections for homeowners throughout the Denver metro area. Our goal is to help you keep your renovation project safe, legal, and on schedule.
Many types of building materials can contain asbestos, including:
Even newer homes can contain asbestos-containing materials (ACM). According to Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) regulations, asbestos testing is required before any renovation or demolition work that disturbs materials above specific thresholds—known as “trigger levels.”
Unless your home was built after October 12, 1988 and the original architect or engineer provides documentation certifying that no ACM was used, you are required to have the materials tested by a certified asbestos inspector.
No. Home Depot and other large flooring retailers do not perform asbestos testing. They expect homeowners to complete any necessary inspections before installation begins.
This is where L&K Environmental can help. We provide certified asbestos testing services across Denver with quick turnaround times and full CDPHE compliance. Many homeowners contact us just days before their scheduled flooring install—after learning they’re required to test. Avoid costly delays and schedule your inspection ahead of time.
