If your home or building was constructed before 1980, there’s a real chance asbestos-containing materials are present and you’d never know it by looking. AF Environmental has been helping DFW homeowners, businesses, and property managers identify and address asbestos hazards since 2004. Our TDSHS-certified inspectors collect samples, send them to an accredited lab, and give you a clear, plain-English report so you know exactly where you stand — and what to do next.

Accurate asbestos testing starts with understanding the full extent of the loss — whether from fire, water, or other property damage — and knowing how impacted building materials behave. From flooring and adhesives to paint textures, drywall, and insulation, every material must be evaluated carefully to create a thorough scope of work. With more than 22 years of experience, we know how to see the bigger picture, identify what others may miss, and deliver the accurate testing property owners need to move forward with confidence
“When you call AF Environmental, you’re not calling a call center. You’re calling me.”
— Andrew Fiero, President at AF Environmental.
Older homes in the DFW area commonly contain asbestos in floor tiles, popcorn ceilings, pipe insulation, and drywall joint compound. Most homeowners don’t find out until a renovation stirs it up which is the worst time to discover it. We inspect your home before that happens, identifying exactly which materials need attention and which ones are safe to leave alone.
Asbestos in a commercial building isn’t just a health risk — it’s a liability. Whether you’re managing a renovation, responding to a complaint, or satisfying a pre-sale requirement, AF Environmental provides thorough commercial asbestos surveys backed by certified lab analysis and full documentation. We’ve inspected everything from small office buildings to multi-story hotels and municipal facilities across Texas.

We walk your property and identify every suspect material, including areas competitors often overlook: HVAC insulation, floor adhesives, roofing felt, and exterior siding.
Samples are collected safely and sent to a state-accredited lab. We don't guess — we test.
You'll receive a detailed written report with exact locations, material types, asbestos concentration levels, and a recommended action plan. This report holds up for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and regulatory compliance.
If abatement is needed, we can handle it. If it's not, we'll tell you that too.
We don’t recommend it. Disturbing suspected materials without proper equipment can release fibers into the air. A certified inspector can tell you within days whether you have a problem — without putting your household at risk.
Obtaining an asbestos report typically involves one of two options. For most homeowners suspecting asbestos, hiring a certified inspector is key. They’ll assess your property, potentially collect samples, and provide a detailed report outlining any asbestos found and recommendations for next steps.
In some cases, existing reports might be available. This applies more to public or commercial buildings where an asbestos survey may have been conducted earlier. Check with the building owner or management company to see if such reports exist.
The tricky thing about asbestos exposure is that it often shows no symptoms for decades after the initial contact. This is because asbestos fibers are microscopic and can lodge deep within the lungs. Over time, they irritate and scar lung tissue, leading to health problems.
Asbestos exposure can take decades to show symptoms because the fibers irritate lung tissue slowly. If you were exposed in the past, watch out for shortness of breath, a persistent cough, or chest tightness later in life. These symptoms can also arise from other conditions, so talk to your doctor if you’re concerned about asbestos exposure for a proper diagnosis.
It can. Many buyers require a clear asbestos inspection before closing, and some insurance claims require documentation of asbestos presence or absence before remediation work begins. Our reports are accepted by major carriers and meet Texas regulatory standards.
Most asbestos testing companies hand you a report and wish you luck. We take it further. Andrew Fiero and his team understand how asbestos behaves after fire, water, and storm damage — because disturbed or wet building materials change how fibers migrate through a structure. That’s knowledge you won’t find at every inspection firm.
We also work directly with insurance carriers and can document findings in the format adjusters need, which saves you time and prevents claim delays.
