Whether you’re buying a home, preparing to remodel, or want peace of mind, our fast, accurate testing gives you clear answers—and a clear path forward.

Northern Lights Mitigation & Consultation Asbestos & Lead Process
We follow strict protocols to ensure accurate results and full compliance.
1. Site Inspection & Risk Assessment
We identify potential areas of concern and develop a sample collection plan tailored to the material type, project scope, and risk level.
2. Sample Collection
Certified professionals use containment techniques and PPE to carefully extract small, representative samples without spreading contamination.
3. Laboratory Analysis
Samples are sent to an accredited third-party lab. We never rely on DIY test kits or field-only analysis.
4. Clear Reporting & Recommendations
You receive a detailed report with lab results, photos, and a clear explanation of next steps—including whether removal, encapsulation, or no action is required.
5. Remediation Planning (if needed)
If hazardous materials are found, we can help coordinate or perform proper abatement according to EPA and OSHA guidelines.
