Hazardous Materials Assessment Inc

I was very impressed with the high quality of HMA’s asbestos inspection and follow-​up report. The report provided my family with important information that we needed. We really appreciated Scott Compton’s expertise. I highly recommend HMA’s asbestos inspection services.

If there were more stars, Scott Compton at HMA would get them. We were referred to him by a highly respected building inspector for mold issues. Mold is such a hot and panic-​inducing issue and Scott patiently explained to me that of the 1.5 million species of mold spores, only 6 – 7 are toxic (although the others can be allergans). I was struck by the high level of integrity and professionalism at HMA and Scott doesn’t try to sell you on his services.
I find it rather alarming that most mold testing companies are also in the business of remediation. Hmmmm… sounds a lot like conflict of interest to me. HMA only does the testing — for mold, asbestos and lead.
Although mold, asbestos and lead are substances you’d prefer not to be dealing with, it is a pleasure doing business with HMA.
Thanks, Scott!

I needed some tiles from my kitchen tested for asbestos. I had some samples and did not feel like hassling with mailing them. I found these guys by dinking around on the web. I called and was able to deliver the samples directly. They were very patient with me (I got lost trying to find them — it’s in an odd location) and very pleasant in squiring me to their office.
Normally, they do building inspections for hazardous materials. (I noticed blueprints for larger buildings on a table.) However, they also accept samples from members of the public for testing for a fee. Because they send in so many samples to the labs, they get a discount on testing, and will pass that savings along. I paid 70 bucks to have two samples analysed. (I just did this today, btw.) I thought it was really nice of them to do that for random folks.
Bonus is that the guy who runs the place is a Terry Pratchett fan. I give these guys an approving «OOK» and five bananas up.
