There are many cases where asbestos inspections are needed. For instance, you may not know if there is asbestos inside your home or office yet you are breathing in harmful fibers.

Clandestine Labs
These should be approached extremely cautiously. The possibility for fires and explosions is extremely high. These "scientists" are often untrained and very reckless when making their products. Their recklessness often leads to explosions and fires that kill families and the people involved. Law enforcement officials or firemen who respond may also be injured or killed by fires due to explosions of meth labs. People who live close to these labs also encounter the risk of being exposed to hazardous chemicals and fumes. Meth labs contain a variety of solvents, precursors and hazardous agents, which are often in unmarked containers.
Grow-Ops
The interior environment of a grow operation is warm and humid — an ideal environment for mould growth. Additionally, this moisture can cause structural problems. Also of concern is the unsafe modification of electrical, heating/ventilation, plumbing/drainage and gas systems.
