What is CBP Testing?
CBP testing (Combustion Byproduct Testing) evaluates the presence of harmful residues left behind after a fire. These contaminants can include ash, soot, char, and microscopic particles that may contain toxic substances.
Even if your property was not directly burned, smoke and airborne particles can settle on surfaces and impact indoor environments—making professional testing essential.
Ash, Soot & Char Testing Services
Our comprehensive testing services include:
🔬 Ash Testing
We analyze ash deposits to determine the presence of hazardous substances and potential contamination risks.
🔬 Soot Testing
Our soot testing identifies fine carbon particles that can embed into surfaces, HVAC systems, and indoor air.
🔬 Char Testing
Char testing evaluates burned materials and surfaces to assess contamination levels and structural impact.
🔬 Fire Residue Testing
Our full fire residue testing process examines all combustion byproducts present within the property to provide a complete picture of contamination.
Heavy Metals Testing & Inspection
Combustion byproducts often contain toxic materials, including heavy metals. Our heavy metals testing and heavy metals inspection services are critical for identifying harmful substances that may pose health risks.
We test for:
- Lead
- Arsenic

This level of testing is especially important after wildfires or structure fires where building materials, electronics, and chemicals have burned.
