Why Austin projects need a licensed survey first

Austin is being rebuilt faster than almost any city in the country, and a large share of that work touches buildings from the 1950s–1980s: teardown houses, mid-century commercial strips along Lamar and Burnet, and older office and school buildings. The City of Austin requires an Asbestos Compliance Notification Form with commercial demolition permit applications (single-family homes and buildings of four or fewer units are excluded), and Texas requires a licensed asbestos survey before renovation or demolition of any public or commercial building.

Because we're based here, Austin projects get our fastest scheduling. TSEC's survey reports are written in the TDSHS format Austin Development Services expects, with sample locations, lab results, and material quantities your abatement contractor can bid from directly.

TSEC is an independent consultant — we don't perform abatement or remediation, so our findings in Austin are never shaped by a construction contract.
Services in Austin

Asbestos, lead, and mold — one licensed team

Three regulated disciplines, one point of contact, one consistent report format for every property in your Austin portfolio.

Asbestos surveys in Austin

Pre-renovation and pre-demolition surveys, AHERA school inspections, abatement design, and third-party air monitoring — the documentation Austin permit offices and contractors expect.

Lead-based paint inspections

East Austin, Hyde Park, Travis Heights, and much of the older core were built before 1978, and Austin's housing programs and landlords need certified lead-based paint inspections, risk assessments, and clearance testing before rehab work and at turnover. We perform them with XRF analysis for same-visit results.

Lead services →

Mold assessments

Flash floods, aging plumbing in older homes, and high-humidity summers drive Austin's mold complaints. TSEC provides the independent mold assessment, written remediation protocol, and post-remediation clearance — separate from the remediation contractor, as Texas rules require.

How it works

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.

01

Call or request a quote

Tell us the property, the timeline, and what triggered the need — a permit, a purchase, a complaint. We respond with scope and pricing, usually the same business day.

02

Site inspection & sampling

A licensed consultant walks the property, documents conditions, and collects samples following state and federal protocols.

03

Accredited lab analysis

Samples go to an accredited laboratory. Standard turnaround is a few business days; rush analysis is available when a schedule demands it.

04

Report & next steps

You receive a clear, regulator-ready report with findings, photos, lab data, and recommendations — plus a consultant who will walk you through it.

Does Austin require an asbestos survey for a demolition permit?
For commercial demolitions, the City of Austin requires an Asbestos Compliance Notification Form with the permit application; single-family homes and buildings with four or fewer units are excluded from that form. Separately, Texas requires a licensed asbestos survey before renovation or demolition of public and commercial buildings. We'll tell you exactly what your project needs and provide the survey to support it.
How fast can you get to an Austin property?

Yes — Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Leander, Hutto, Bastrop, Dripping Springs, and everywhere else in Travis, Williamson, Hays, and Bastrop counties.
