How to Detect Asbestos in Your Building

As we mentioned earlier, it is not always possible to tell whether a material contains asbestos simply by looking at it. However, there are certain indicators that may suggest the presence of asbestos-containing materials. These include:

• If the building was constructed before 2000, there is a high chance that it could contain asbestos
• If the material is damaged, frayed or crumbling, it may contain asbestos
• If the material is fibrous, fluffy or has a popcorn-like texture, it may contain asbestos
• If the material is waterproof, heat-resistant or fire-resistant, it may contain asbestos

If you suspect that a material in your building may contain asbestos, it is important to contact a professional asbestos testing company immediately.
