Asbestos in Murfreesboro
A historic square, a university rental market, and a growth corridor
Murfreesboro’s public square is one of the oldest intact commercial districts in Middle Tennessee, and the buildings around it long predate any asbestos regulation. As those properties change hands and get converted to restaurants, offices, and retail, pre-renovation surveys become part of nearly every project.
The bigger volume of residential work comes from the rental market around the university. Rental properties turn over and get renovated far more frequently than owner-occupied homes, and much of that stock is mid-century — the most reliable predictor of asbestos-containing material there is. The person doing the demo on a rental usually isn’t the person who lives with the consequences, which is exactly why documented testing matters.
Then there’s the growth. Rutherford County has been among the fastest-growing counties in the state for years, and that growth pushes renovation of the older stock sitting between the historic core and the new subdivisions.

Answers
Murfreesboro inspection questions
I’m a landlord renovating rentals near the university. What do I actually need?
If the property predates 1980 and you’re disturbing flooring, ceilings, or wall materials, test first. Beyond the health question, a documented survey protects you if a tenant or a contractor raises the issue later — and on a rental you have people cycling through every year.
I bought a building on the square. What’s required before I renovate?
A pre-renovation survey. Commercial buildings of that age typically contain asbestos in several systems — flooring, ceiling materials, pipe insulation, sometimes fireproofing. Depending on scope, NESHAP requirements apply. Call with details and we’ll tell you what the survey needs to cover.
Do you remove asbestos if you find it?
No. BAT Services is an inspection and testing company only. That’s deliberate — a company that profits from removal has an incentive to find asbestos. If your property tests positive we’ll connect you with licensed abatement contractors we work with and help you judge whether a proposed scope matches what we actually found.
How much does testing cost?
It depends on the property size and how many materials need sampling. Call with the details and we’ll give you a real number rather than a range.
