Asbestos Testing

We use specialized equipment to test for the presence of asbestos fibers in the air. This is done by taking air samples and analyzing them in our laboratory. This will help us determine the level and type of asbestos fibers in the air.

What are Asbestos-Containing Materials?

Asbestos-containing materials refer to any building materials that contain asbestos fibers. These materials were commonly used in construction before 2000 because of their durability, heat resistance, and fire-retardant properties. Below is a list of common ACMs:

• Insulation board
• Ceiling tiles
• Asbestos cement sheeting
• Floor tiles
• Pipe insulation
• Roofing materials
• Textured coatings
• Adhesives

It is essential to note that not all materials that were manufactured before 2000 contain asbestos fibers. However, it is always better to get them tested.

Why is Asbestos Dangerous?

Asbestos fibers are a health hazard once they become airborne and are inhaled. They can cause serious health complications like asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. Asbestos-related diseases can take years or even decades to develop after exposure. That's why it is crucial to get your building tested for asbestos and remove any asbestos-containing materials immediately.
