Asbestos Testing

Asbestos testing involves examining materials in buildings for the presence of asbestos, a hazardous mineral once commonly used for insulation and fireproofing. During testing, samples—usually from ceilings, walls, or flooring—are collected and sent to a laboratory. In the lab, technicians use specialized methods to determine if asbestos fibers are present. If found, safe removal or management strategies are recommended to minimize health risks, as asbestos exposure can lead to serious lung diseases. Testing is crucial for older structures to ensure safety for occupants during renovations or demolitions.
