Comprehensive Reports and More

Once we complete an asbestos survey, we provide a detailed report that outlines our findings, recommendations, and any necessary next steps. We can also provide additional support and advice on asbestos management, removal, and disposal if needed.

What is Asbestos Testing?

Asbestos testing is the process of analyzing samples of materials for the presence of asbestos fibers. ACMs can include various materials such as insulation, flooring, roofing, cement, pipes, and more.

Asbestos testing typically involves collecting samples of suspected ACMs using a specialized tool and sending them to a licensed laboratory for analysis. The lab performs various tests to determine the type, concentration, and condition of asbestos fibers and report the findings to the testing company.

Asbestos testing is an essential part of asbestos management and removal, as it can help property owners and occupants identify the risks of asbestos exposure and take appropriate measures to reduce them.
