WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
Terra’s Asbestos and Lead programs are directed by Certified Asbestos Consultants / DPH Inspector Assessors.
We had our plaster tested for asbestos right before Labor Day weekend. We had the results the second business day. The technician was super communicative and prompt for the appointment. He efficiently took six samples and was respectful of our home and space. He answered our many questions thoroughly and offered to be available for any questions that might come up after our appointment. It turns out we will need abatement before redoing our kitchen. We are very pleased with the information provided before, during and after the samples were collected and evaluated.

Amazing service, quick and cost efficient. Definitely more professional than some of the companies i have hired.

Israel came out and he was very thorough in his investigation.

COMMON QUESTIONS
How do I know if I need asbestos or lead abatement?
If you are working on a building put up before the 1980s, there is a real chance asbestos or lead is present. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the risk before any demolition or renovation begins. Our experts can guide you through the process.
How quickly can you respond to emergency services?
We run emergency response 24/7. Call 562.868.3777 and you will reach our team directly. For water damage and other urgent events we mobilize from our Santa Fe Springs office as fast as conditions and travel allow, and we will give you a realistic arrival window on that first call.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Santa Fe Springs and work throughout California, including Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, San Diego, Kern, Santa Barbara, Sacramento, San Luis Obispo, Imperial and Fresno counties. If your site sits outside that list, call us and we will tell you whether we can cover it.
Are your inspectors certified?
Yes. Terra’s asbestos and lead programs are directed by Certified Asbestos Consultants and CDPH Inspector/Assessors. We are a minority-owned business enterprise and hold DBE, SBE and Local SBE certifications.
How can I schedule a consultation?
Call 562.868.3777, email info@terraeng.com, or use the quote form on this site. Tell us the property type, roughly how old it is and what you are seeing, and we will scope the right survey or assessment and send you a written proposal.
Will I get a report I can use for permits and compliance?
Yes. Every inspection ends in a written report you can hand to a contractor, a building department or a property owner. Our work follows the regulations and guidelines published by Cal/OSHA, CDPH, SCAQMD, AHERA, HUD and RCRA, which is what most permit and compliance reviews ask for.
