Asbestos Testing

Ensure your family is safe with asbestos testing from a qualified contractor

If you have a home that was built between the 1940s & the 1970s, there is a good chance you have asbestos in your home. This mineral was commonly used in building materials throughout the period, thanks to its fire-retardant nature. Unfortunately, it took a long time to discover that this mineral had some notable downsides. If disturbed or deteriorating, asbestos releases tiny fibers that can seriously damage the lungs if breathed in and cause mesothelioma and lung cancer.

If you have deteriorating insulation that might contain asbestos, or are planning a remodel, then you should have asbestos testing for your home. A certified professional can perform the required asbestos testing with minimal disruption to you and your home.

When should you have asbestos testing done?

  • Remodeling: When planning a remodel on an older home, it is crucial to have asbestos testing done since the act of remodeling will disturb building materials and potentially spread asbestos fibers through the air. In fact, some areas require this by law to protect both you and the remodelers.
  • Old insulation: While asbestos can be found in many older building materials, it is often relatively harmless since it remains undisturbed. Unfortunately, insulation is a different story. If you have old insulation that is disintegrating, there is a chance asbestos fibers are being released into the air. Make sure to have the insulation tested before it proves a danger to you and your family.
  • Concerned for the future: Even if you aren’t remodeling and don’t have old insulation, asbestos testing is not a bad idea, especially if you own an older home. Testing for asbestos now, before any materials get distrubed, can provide you with some much needed peace of mind.
