Good question! First, remember: our inspections and results meet or exceed standards or recommendations set forth by local and state authorities. This includes CAL-OSHA and the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District. Second, AZTEC Testing is insured and licensed. Third, our inspector is experienced with close to 2000 inspections completed. This is all to emphasize our customers get all the information needed in an inspection — no shortcuts.

So why the lower prices? Easy. This is a one-person company. We don’t do kickbacks or referral fees, that’s unethical and expensive for customers. Also there is no office, no staff, and no salespeople..etc. All these things are great, but they come with a lot of overhead. Those expenses are passed on to the customers.

I started this company so I can provide fair and ethical environmental testing services for my customers. That starts with doing things by the book, and charging fair prices. I want customers for life and not just a one-time job with a huge profit.

No, AZTEC Testing is not an asbestos abatement contractor, mold remediation company, or lead abatement company. This means I do not profit from positive tests . I simply do the testing and provide the unbiased results.

Yes, the San Diego County APCD has very specific guidelines when it requires testing. Also CAL OSHA requires contractors to test materials prior to work and it does not stipulate a cutoff year. It is required by regulations and it simply keeps residents, contractors, and neighbors safe. We provide certified asbestos inspections to keep you safe and compliant with regulations.

Our turnaround times vary depending on the type of test. Same day asbestos results are available for inspections taking place before noon Monday – Friday. As you can guess, the faster the results, the higher the costs. Tip: if you can wait a day or two, it can save you quite a bit on some jobs. Call early to schedule if you can. Lead Testing: Same-day results using non-destructive XRF technology. Initial Mold Testing: Lab results typically within 2-3 business days. Mold Clearance testing: same day on jobs before noon and next day on all others.
