Asbestos Test
Asbestos, once widely used in construction materials, is now recognized as a serious health hazard. Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to severe respiratory diseases, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. If you suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your home or building, it’s crucial to have a professional asbestos inspection.
Our asbestos testing services provide accurate and reliable results. Our experienced technicians follow strict safety protocols to ensure your safety during the testing process. By identifying the presence of asbestos, you can take necessary precautions to protect yourself and others from exposure.

- Asbestos Testing Process
- Visual Inspection:
The inspector looks for materials commonly containing asbestos, such as insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, and pipe wrapping.
- Sample Collection:
If suspected ACMs are found, a certified asbestos inspector will collect small samples for laboratory analysis. This is done carefully to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading.
- Laboratory Analysis:
The samples are sent to a certified laboratory for analysis. The lab determines if asbestos is present and, if so, at what concentration.
- Report Generation:
The laboratory provides a detailed report of the findings.
- Result Interpretation:
A certified inspector interprets the results and provides recommendations based on the asbestos content and the condition of the material.
