Asbestos Testing

 

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a component of some building materials, and is known to be a hazardous carcinogen. Although most are people aware of the potential for asbestos content in popcorn ceiling, vinyl tiles, and pipe insulation; any building material that is not made of wood, metal, or glass may contain asbestos.

 

 

When Do You Need An Inspection:

Any time a home owner, landlord or contractor is remodeling, demolishing, repairing or otherwise disturbing materials that may contain asbestos, an asbestos inspection is required. Unfortunately, building owners and contractors are often unaware of the needs for asbestos inspections until late in the project. A qualified IDPH/IDEM inspector can help to limit abatement costs and provide a thorough report that will get the project done safely and within all relevant laws and regulation.
