What we test for

One call covers it all. We can run several tests in a single visit.

Asbestos testing

Pre-renovation and pre-demolition surveys, bulk sampling and air clearance. Asbestos fibers are too small to see, so lab testing is the only way to know.

Asbestos or Not?

Look at real materials from real buildings and guess which ones contained asbestos. Most people can't tell. That's exactly why testing matters.

Common questions

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?

In most cases, yes. New York State requires an asbestos survey before renovation or demolition work that could disturb building materials.

Can I tell asbestos by looking at it?

No. Fibers are microscopic. Only a lab test confirms it, which is why we sample before anything is cut, sanded or removed.

How fast will I get results?

[Typical turnaround, e.g. 2–5 business days, with rush options]
