When is Testing Needed?

Testing is often necessary when renovating, demolishing, or for regulatory procedures during site development planning.

Analysis is also needed to identify possible contamination that may have leached from a neighbouring property.

For the home owner or property manager, testing is typically required when mould accumulates after a flood or if older building materials (such as asbestos) are uncovered.

See more on pre-demolition survey requirements.

The Laboratory’s Role Is to Offer Analytical Evidence

Analytical evidence plays a key role when defining Hazardous Materials or Designated Substances. Our Air Quality Investigation or Hazardous Material teams are ready to help you STAT!
Other possible projects that require lab analysis include Environmental Assessments, Record of Site Condition (for zoning changes), Building Conditions, and Risk Assessments to name a few.
Independent engineers, science professionals and contractors across the province use our laboratory services for various needs, and we welcome you.
Once a contaminant is identified after collection and analysis, Fisher Engineering can guide you to an appropriate solution if required.
