ASBESTOS TESTING

Asbestos is a carcinogen that can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis and other serious respiratory ailments. Thousands of building materials were manufactured with asbestos including insulation, pipe insulation, floor and ceiling tiles, adhesives, roof shingles, siding, textured ceilings and joint compounds. Over time, these materials degrade or are disturbed and their asbestos fibers are released.

Asbestos monitoring by a certified professional can help homeowners and commercial property owners identify potential risks prior to purchase or renovation.

THE MOST DANGEROUS ASBESTOS FIBERS ARE TOO SMALL TO BE SEEN

Many countries have banned the use of asbestos outright, but several, including the United States, still employ its use. Asbestos is mostly found in older homes and factories, and can be highly dangerous and even deadly if disturbed.

Once inhaled, they lodge in the lungs forever. Our asbestos inspectors are highly trained and certified to conduct asbestos testing in residential and commercial settings.
